15-08: Upgrading Existing Cooling Tower's Maintenance Programs to Prevent Codes and StandardsIn the summer of 2012, the city of Quebec experienced a large outbreak of legionnaires disease. Nearly 200 people were infected; 14 of them died. A public inquiry reported after: The measures introduced were not effective enough As a consequence, Quebec Government adopted a Regulation for cooling towers maintenance. The speaker will present major points from his two (2) years of experience in the upgrading of Cooling Towers Maintenance Program to

control is often marginal

Argon National Laboratories under CRADA demonstrated the use of ED/RWEDI while Nalco developed scale inhibitors for the integrated solution

Unique designs will be discussed including: low noise applications

some feasible alternatives that provide adequate control of amoeba-fed Legionella in cooling towers by employing a combination of US EPA approved organic biocides

along with their advantages

Sometimes we are applying acid treatments of the circulation water

Public awareness of environmental standards has grown enormously in recent years

Operational data will be presented explaining how these stresses were managed using a comprehensive treatment

Laboratory tests demonstrate broad-spectrum algicidal properties against a range of green algae and blue-green bacteria (cyanobacteria)

5-kw/725 rpm electric motors

identify problems

This code specifies the procedures
