Biocide chemical for cooling tower

For cooling towers, common biocide chemicals include:

Chlorine: Widely used for its effectiveness in controlling bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms.

Bromine: An alternative to chlorine, often used in systems where chlorine can cause issues, such as corrosion.

Isothiazolinones: Effective against bacteria and fungi, often used in combination with other biocides for enhanced efficacy.

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QACs): These have disinfectant properties and can help control biofilm formation.

Hydrogen Peroxide: A non-chlorine option that is effective against a wide range of microorganisms.

When selecting a biocide, consider factors like system material compatibility, environmental impact, and specific microbial targets. Do you need more detailed information on any specific biocide?
