There are several factors other than mineral constituents which determine the corrosiveness of a cooling water. These factors include microbiological activity, silt and debris, suspended solids, dissimilar metals and hydrocarbon pollution. The complete effective performance of a cooling water corrosion prevention program cannot be realized without controlling these factors.

Data are given to show the effect of summer and winter slime on corrosion rates in the presence of an inhibitor. 4.6.4
