09-13: The Determination of the Effectiveness of the Coolpuck in the Mitigation Sidestream Softening

09-13: The Determination of the Effectiveness of the Coolpuck in the Mitigation Sidestream SofteningThe company Special Water Europe BV and the KEMA Institute set out to test the effectiveness of the additive the Cool Puck in its laboratory using a small scale test assembly based on the Dutch Standard for assessing the performance of treatment programs for open re circulating cooling tower water systems. The Cool Puck product is a man made and environmental friendly dispersant, which implies that the product itself has no microbial biocide effect.

Field trials

A comparison of air cooled verses water cooled systems will be approached from several vantage points

insulation materials and vibration

Many Cooling towers and once through cooling systems' operators are facing tighter regulations on metals concentrations in cooling water discharge

and in 1965

Common causes of system failure unrelated to water treatment include: (a) Operational Issues

Cooling tower failure can cost an industrial plant thousands of dollars in lost production in a matter of hours

A reliable filtration system requires the proper design and installation

the concentrating nature of cooling towers combined with chemical treatment programs subjects blowdown treatment systems to chemistry that may significantly influence performance

This paper demonstrates rather pointedly that cooling tower performance and operation is not so straightforwardly simple as it many times is thought to be

The reduction of drift and corresponding mineral mass emissions was about 80%
