A method for controlling bivalve growth in a service water system of a plant is disclosed. Upon detecting an increase in the number of veligers or settlement stage bivalves, chlorine anion is introduced into the service water to obtain a chlorine anion concentration of between 0.10 and 2.0 mg/l for a period of 10 to 40 days. Also disclosed is a two-stage method for controlling bivalve growth in a service water system.

Control of zebra mussels in closed service water systems
A method for controlling bivalve growth in a static or semi-static service water system of a plant is disclosed. Upon detecting an increase in the concentration of veligers or settlement stage bivalves, potassium is introduced into the service water to obtain a potassium cation concentration of between 10 mg/l and 150 mg/l for a period of 2 to 30 days. The methods are particularly useful for controlling zebra mussel growth in service water systems for fire prevention.
