Open Recirculation



Open Recirculation

Deposit control, scale control and microbiological contaminant control of open recirculating cooling systems

Effective treatment of your open recirculation cooling systems keeps your equipment running longer and more efficiently, and keeps your production at its peak. GE Water & Process Technologies has the products and technologies you need to ensure scale control and guard against corrosion and microbiological growths.

Products and Technologies
STP (Stress Tolerant Polymer) is the greatest advancement in scale prevention & deposit control in over a decade.  Patented by GE, STP is a very forgiving cooling water polymer and excels at the inhibition of calcium phosphate, calcium pyrophosphate, zinc phosphate, and aluminum phosphate.  An outstanding dispersant of high iron and silt levels, it also handles high exchanger skin temperatures and high pH excursions.
AEC (Alkyl Epoxy Carboxylate) is the first major breakthrough in calcium carbonate deposit control in more than twenty-five years.  Patented and exclusive to GE, it functions as a threshold inhibitor, the only non-phosphorous deposit control agent that provides scale control superior to phosphonate technology.
HRA (Halogen Resistant Azole) from GE inhibits corrosion of copper and copper alloy.  HRA is unique because it is compatible with oxidizing biocides, helping to keep the overall program cost-effective.
Spectrus oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides for control of microbes, mollusks, and other macro-fouling organisms. Learn more.
