| Algaecides | | | Chemicals that kill algae when they are added to water. Algaecides are effective against algae, but are not very usable for algal blooms for environmental reasons.
| | Antifoams | | | Chemistry used to control foam in cooling and wastewater applications. Foam can reduce the capacity of equipment and increase the duration and costs of process.
| | Biocides | | | One of many chemical agents for killing harmful living organisms in cooling water. Often classified by type of organism killed, such as bactericide, fungicide, or algaecide.

| Corrosion Inhibitors | | | Inhibitors are chemicals that react with a metallic surface, giving the surface a certain level of protection. Inhibitors often work by absorbing themselves on the metallic surface, protecting the metallic surface by forming a film. Depositions of corrosion products in critical heat exchange areas often cause overall efficiency loss.
| | Scale Inhibitors | | | Chemistry designed to prevent or reduce tendencies of fouling, scaling, or other unwanted deposits to occur in a cooling system. Typically, individual inhibitors may interfere with a chemical reaction and are then blended to produce a multi-functional formulation specific for certain controlled operating conditions. |
