Abstract
Previous work carried out at Marquette University has proved that the formation of scale in sea water evaporators can be prevented if such things as dehydrated alfalfa foliage or dehydrated corn, oats, peas, and grass foliage are added to the feed sea water. It has also been proved that the maturity of the plant from which the corn foliage has been stripped varies the scale preventing ability of the foliage, and that the storing of the corn foliage increases its scale preventing ability. The object of this work is to determine what effect the combination of various types of stainless steels with Admiralty metal will have on the scale formation; also, to study the effect the lowering of the pH value of the feed sea water will have on the scale formation, and finally, to study and suggest various ways in which the latter can be accomplished.
