Question

whats the purpose of side - stream filtration on a water system? choose an option below to provide chemical injection points for tower chemicals to reduce microbiological growth to provide a means to filter particulates smaller than the cooling tower strainer can capture to remove oxygen scavengers

Explanation:

Sidestream filtration in water systems, especially cooling tower systems, is designed to target fine particulates that bypass the main cooling tower strainer. It continuously filters a portion of the water to remove these small contaminants, which helps maintain system efficiency and prevent fouling. The other options do not align with its core purpose: chemical injection is handled by dedicated ports, microbiological growth is controlled by biocides, and oxygen scavengers are chemical treatments, not removed by filtration.

Answer:

to provide a means to filter particulates smaller than the cooling tower strainer can capture
