05-17: Monitoring Cooling Water for Potential ReuseWith decreasing water supplies in most industrialized areas of the United States, cooling water discharges are being studied for potential reuse applications. Serious concerns exist among potential reuse water recipients due to the perceived content of this water. Health concerns and aesthetic concerns impact any reuse decision. One key way of alleviating these concerns and making quick decisions concerning the quality of the water is using real time

Drift eliminators and the technology behind them continue to evolve as drift specifications grow more stringent and tower operators strive for the best performing products available to the marketplace

The model was used to understand the main phenomenon leading to ice transport and accumulation

Historically Bromine based non-oxidizing biocides have been an industry standard with occasional Isothiazolin or Gluteraldhyde dosage

splash fills

NWD can be used as wet/dry cooling tower by using wet/dry lanes as dry sections which are acting similar to finned tube dry sections

This paper describes the work associated with planning

The speaker will present major points from his two (2) years of experience in the upgrading of Cooling Towers Maintenance Program to prevent Legionella transmission

Evaporative pre-cooling of air cooled heat exchangers provides the thermodynamic advantages of water cooling towers with the reduced maintenance requirements of air cooled heat exchangers

drift and impact on corrosion

It will also develop 1) the upper limit for design variables that create recirculation

can reduce this previously labor-intensive task to a rather simple one of graphical data screening

For this reason larger projects are requiring more back-to-back cooling tower configurations
