23-29: Traveling Water Screens for Debris Management in Cooling Towers Improves Safety, Efficiency and Production DriveshaftsField erected evaporative wet cooling towers, combined with heat exchangers, are an economical and efficient method to dissipate large heat loads at oil and gas refineries and chemical processing plants as long as theyre free of harmful debris. Yet many cooling towers at these facilities are highly susceptible to poor performance and costly downtime due to problems associated with debris buildup and potential for debris to pass by traditional

the talk will discuss learnings that EPRI has documented from power plants that currently use treatment municipal wastewater as a source for their cooling

A trial was run on solid bromine releasing compounds and on activated sodium bromide

plays a major role

and handrail

and operating parameters

The recycle and reuse of waste and process water streams can turn potential environmental problem discharge streams into beneficial cooling tower make-up streams

The process improvements and process control procedures developed during the 70's and 80's enable pultruded FRP to compete with higher priced woods and treated steels for many future applications

This includes new concrete circulating water piping

Our organization

Special considerations must be addressed in regard to thermal expansion and contract when fiberglass pipe is anchored

is of essential importance in maintaining and improving the cooling tower industry as we proceed into the 70's

The objective of this investigation was to assess the ability of several classes of non-chemical water treatment devices (NCD’s) to control the growth of Legionella in a model cooling system
