Dosing Method

Before start up of treatment the system should be flushed to remove all sludge and particulate matter and where necessary cleaned with an oil remover, such as UNITOR™ Commissioning Cleaner 624932 to remove oil and grease deposits.

NALFLEET™ Engine Water Treatment 9-108 should be dosed directly to the cooling system.

Sampling and Testing

The WSS Test Kit provides the necessary equipment to carry out the control tests. Obtain a representative sample of the cooling water. Carry out the tests immediately after sampling (following the instructions given in the Test Kit) and log the results in Waterproof. The results should be sent to WSS as stated in the Waterproof instructions. It is important that testing is carried out at least once per week, to ensure levels of treatment are correct.

Dosing and Control

Dosing should be carried out at the rate of 2.25 liters per ton of water to give the correct product reserve. It is recommended that NALFLEET™ EWT 9-108 is controlled at 700 to 1000ppm Nitrite (1000 to 1500ppm Sodium Nitrite). Control by a simple test for nitrite and pH. Refer to table below for dosing guide.
