CHEMICAL TREATMENT FOR ALGAE CONTROL IN OPEN WATER SYSTEMS Abstract of the Invention Algae growth in an open water system such as a water cooling tower is controlled by reducing the amount of light available for the algae to photosyn- thesize. The light available for photosynthesis is reduced by incorporating a dye into the water in the water cooling system. Thus the dye absorbs the light necessary for photosynthesis and in turn prevents algae growth. Preferably fluorescein at a concen- tration of 0.2 to 800 parts per million is incorpo- rated into the water in the water cooling system. Other dyes can be selected depending on the particular algae.
