03-03: Water Reuse Experiences With Cooling Tower Systems in San Antonio, Texas Cooling Tower Water Treatment ProgramsWater reuse studies in pilot plant cooling tower system were conducted that showed major benefits over use of aquifer fresh water supplies. Actual case histories are reviewed which identify the fresh water and chemical savings, as well as other items to consider with reclaimed water in cooing tower water systems. Comparison of fresh and reclaimed water use in San Antonio provides some guidelines for other potential users to consider.

fan failure

or should involve

or thermostat

the use of wastewater as a source of cooling tower makeup water can result in significant corrosion

A test configuration with a different number of measurements and instrumentation can lead to changes in the uncertainty and the resultant calculated tower capability

isokinetic drift mass flux measurement systems and photographic systems

High cycle operation

In formation concerning additional product benefits

make-up water contains a low dissolved solids index and its main contaminants are aluminum and iron

declining fresh water supplies and the trend toward a more environmentally friendly approach have served to increase the level of interest in various types of water treatment devices

Some of this is used for the extrac­tion of magnesium and bromine

High levels of total dissolved solids
