11-12: The Progression of Automation and Process Control for the Management ofEnhancement opportunities for cooling water systems can be placed into three major categories. The first is optimizing the dosing of specialty and adjunct commodity chemicals used for corrosion, scale deposit, and microbiological control. Making sure the right dosage of the right chemistry at the right time avoids overfeeding for worst case situations. Once optimized, minimizing the variation greatly reduces the potential for failures that result in
