Provide Isothiazolin, minimum 1.5% as active ingredient for UW Milwaukee.
Provide chlorine di oxide precursors, 25% sodium chlorite, 12.5%sodium hypochlorite, 17%sulfuric acid for Capitol Heat & Power.
Provide dip slides to monitor effectiveness of biocide at each (closed systems) site on a weekly basis
27.0.3 Shock feed 10 gallons per month isothiazolin (minimum 1.5%) and 55 gallons hydrogen peroxide (less than 35% but at least 30%) to chilled water each month at UW Milwaukee for bacteria and odor control. Provide additional micro-biocide treatments as needed to maintain micro biological activity below one thousand organisms per milliliter of treated cooling water.

Provide dip slides to monitor effectiveness of biocide treatment in (closed systems) at each site on a weekly basis.
34.0.4 Provide closed loop inhibitor treatment for UW Milwaukee to protect corrosion attack, and prevent fouling in heat exchangers. The product shall be non-toxic organic compounds, shall not be subjected to microbiological degradation, and must employ a combination of Molybdate based synergistic corrosion inhibitors and deposit control agents. A minimum of 9.0 pH shall be maintained for UWM and a minimum of 8.5 pH for UW G.B system.
