Abstract
Uncontrolled microbiological growth in recirculating water cooling towers results in biofouling and sludge formation with subsequent fouling of the system and microbiologically-induced corrosion. Biocides have therefore been used and are still being used to control such microbiological fouling. The problem has, however, been to find suitable methods for evaluating these biocides. During this study, planktonic bacterial numbers and population structure studies were used to evaluate biocides in situ. The results indicate that this method could be used to evaluate biocides objectively.
