Writing in response to the article “Reusing Cooling Water in an Electric Power Plant” by W.P. Grobmyer et al (JOURNAL AWWA March 1983), Matson states that the experimenters were wrong in eliminating sidestream treatment because they felt problems in controlling sludge would make their results unreliable. Also, the experiments with silica removal as a function of sludge aging and concentration were misleading. Sludge aging is not related to time in terms of calendar days but to the time the sludge is in the softener.
