98-13: New Technology Improves Tower Basin Cleaning DriftHistorically, filtration has been perceived as a solution to a problem. More specifically, once the problem has manifest itself, a solution is subsequently sought.. which generally results in the applied removal of the troublesome contaminant from a given fluid. Instead, it is suggested that there are specific instances where the prevention of contaminants may be a more viable solution. The presentation focuses on the common problem of bacteria growth

This paper describes a new Aseptrol ClO2 delivery system that is capable of at least two months of unattended operation in small-to-medium-size cooling systems up to 30

” Such considerations include building codes

calcium sequestration

or fixed scaffolding are used to provide up-close access

Cooling tower plume formation can be a safety or aesthetic concern

Applications are refineries

The damage

Phreeqc is used for the calculation of water chemistry in each component of the circuit (chemical speciation

Where it occurs

The water flow to typically 10% of a given tower was shut off after the installation of butterfly valves

The purpose of this paper is to detail the activities which took place before and during the reconstruction of the (2) cooling towers of Unit #3 during the months of October and November of 2005

During the first days of work it was recognized that any type of refurbishment was not possible
