75-02: Environmental Considerations in Cooling Tower Treatment Environmental Impact

75-02: Environmental Considerations in Cooling Tower Treatment Environmental ImpactSince the beginning of this decade, a new factor has entered the engineer's consideration of cooling water treatment selection. This factor, our environment, has made many of us make significant change in our thinking and the method of treatment in cooling towers. The days of feeding any corrosion inhibitor, biocide or other treating agent without considering its effect on the environment is gone forever. What has caused this change, what have we been

play an important role in the evaluation of the performance of Evaporative Heat Transfer Systems such as cooling towers

this equipment would be stored under the sheds

even f there are significant technical and environmental advantages

The paper will provide an approach in developing some guidelines for repairs to minimize the risk of structural distress in a seismic event that occurs without warning

Essentially

we have tested the use of (concentrated) power plant flue gases as a source of CO2

The phenomenon of cooling tower fill fouling was studied by examining the relationship of microorganisms

Revised March 1998

Certification capacities by the CTI assure the tower purchaser of full performance without the need for field-testing

cooling towers control the calcium concentration in circulating loops by adjusting the volume of liquid blow-down

using no water and no water treatment chemicals
