	Frequently Asked Questions
	What do the high chlorides do to stainless steel? The chloride level does not affect stainless any more than conventional programs.
	Does high conductivity affect the tower and heat exchange equipment? The high conductivity does not affect the heat exchange capacity of the equipment. The conductivity measurement is not a critical factor with this program.
	Is the drift from the tower harmful? No, the drift is an organic compound and is not harmful. Any material deposited on a car or equipment is water soluble and can be easily washed off.
	Is the fluid bed safe? Yes, the fluid bed is an organic product and is non polluting and can be disposed of in a sanitary land fill or used in a waste treatment plant as nutrients for the bacteria.
	How long is the start up for the program? The system will be functioning in 18 to 24 hours.
	How long will the system run if the chemical runs out? The systems will operate for 48 to 72 hours without the addition of any treatment product. The time will depend on the amount of fluid bed in the reactor and the amount of C-875 contained in the bulk water. After that time the system needs to be blown down to protect the equipment.
	How long does it take to restart the system after a chemical outage? The system can be started up immediately with the proper amount of C-875 added to the bulk water.
	How much on site monitoring does the system need? Plant personnel need to inspect the pumps and tanks daily to monitor for leaks. During the first month, the start up period, the treatment company needs to check weekly and after that 2 times per month. The systems are checked daily by remote monitoring.
	What tests do plant personnel need to run? None, the chemical supplier will run all tests as needed.
	How does drift loss affect the HiCycler Program? The only effect drift loss has on the system is it becomes your source of blow down instead of the mechanical blow down valve. Drift loss is not a factor in the calculations use to determine chemical use, cycles or evaporation rates.
	*The drift loss calculation is based on the CTI ATC-140 method (Isokinetic Drift Test Code). These limits are guidelines only. The performance of the drift eliminator is indicated by the ratio drift loss/water flow rate. The efficiency of droplet separation depends on constant air velocity and an absolutely tight assembly of the drift eliminator elements. * Biometrics Incorporated-Shawanee, Kansas
