Application and Use
A. Dosing procedure
Initially, a quantity of 8 kgs per ton of distilled or fresh water must be used.
However, correct dosing can and must be determined, after the testing of water samples, using the MARICHEM NITRITE TEST KIT. For optimum results, a nitrite concentration of 20 to 60 ppm in the cooling system is recommended.
B. Feeding Procedure
After the quantity of D.C.W.T. POWDER is determined and before the introduction of the product into the system, it must be dissolved in sufficient volume of water until the dissolution of the powder is complete.
Thereafter, feed the solution into the expansion tank or through a metering pump, these are responsible for the circulation of the solution into the cooling water system.
Moreover, the engineer has to make sure that a proper distribution of the solution is accomplished and that a protective film is created. Only then the treatment is complete.
After the application and while the cooling water system is in operation, let the solution circulate for approximately 2 hours. Then, test the Nitrite concentration in the water using the MARICHEM NITRITE TEST KIT. Repeat the testing procedure and make up with D.C.W.T. POWDER solution in order to stabilize the Nitrite concentration in the water due to losses/leakage of the system.
