Industrial cooling towers are essential for heat rejection in many facilities but create conditions that favor Legionella proliferation. An integrated risk management program is required to maintain safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance, combining design assessment, water treatment, monitoring, maintenance, automation, and training.Understanding Legionella in Cooling TowersLegionella ...
Cooling towers remove heat from water systems to keep buildings comfortable, but warm water promotes Legionella growth and the potential for legionnaires’ disease. Effective prevention relies on engineering controls, reliable operation, and consistent maintenance to minimize risk in daily operations.Why cooling ...
Water scarcity pressures and stricter discharge regulations are driving industrial facilities and municipal operators to implement comprehensive water reuse strategies. However, successful water reuse projects require methodical scoping that matches treatment technologies to specific water quality parameters and operational constraints. This systematic approach prevents costly oversizing, ensures ...
In cooling towers, conventional distribution valves often suffer from excessive wear due to the turbulent movement of water within the system. This phenomenon, known as “chattering,” occurs when the stem and disc inside the valve are constantly jostled by water turbulence. Frequent chattering accelerates wear and tear, leading to the need for frequent cooling tower valve ...
Traveling water or sump screens are an ideal solution for facilities aiming to minimize or eliminate the costs and resource demands associated with the maintenance, cleaning, and replacement required by static water screens. These traveling screens are well-known for being an efficient, low-maintenance option that can significantly improve operational ...
Water towers are critical pieces of infrastructure for any industrial facility. While their purpose is essential to the efficiency and efficacy of any operation, downtime for maintenance can impact both of these goals, as well as your bottom line. One of the most common causes of cooling tower damage stems from faulty cooling tower ...
Cooling towers are designed to dissipate heat by evaporating water. They ensure efficient processes and long equipment service lives. We provide various wedge wire screens and filters for cooling tower wastewater recovery and treatment. Committed to improving cooling tower system efficiency and reducing production costs.

Using inspection cameras to inspect pharmaceutical, food or chemical processing equipment, especially tubing inspection, can help to identify small potential problems before they turn into a major problem. Process tubing requires a smooth flow to pass a fluid or material. Obstructions, corrosion, cracks, pitting, weld integrity in the sidewalls will prevent adequate flow of the process material ...
Outfitting your cooling towers with highly engineered, reliable, high-performing equipment can mitigate these risks, keep your operation running efficiently. One of the most important pieces of equipment in any cooling tower is the screen. A cooling tower screen acts as a ...
Water towers are critical pieces of infrastructure for any industrial facility. While their purpose is essential to the efficiency and efficacy of any operation, downtime for maintenance can impact both of these goals, as well as your bottom line. However, with the best cooling tower screens, you can mitigate downtime for repairs and reduce, if not eliminate, the amount of time and resources ...
Cooling towers play a critical role in the facility of any industry. These components control the health, safety, efficiency, and efficacy of a plant, refinery, and any other major infrastructure’s operation. Keeping these elements performing at their best comes down to their internal parts, specifically the cooling tower valves. Cooling towers are designed to remove heat from a ...
The turbulence created by this constant flow that powers the cooling tower can create excessive wear and tear. The right cooling tower valve can prevent this damage keep cooling tower systems optimized and efficient. ...
While there are a variety of different types of cooling towers, they all use valves. These valves are designed to control, regulate, distribute, and allow (or stop) the passage of water through certain areas of the cooling tower’s system. These valves play a critical role in how well the cooling ...
A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which air and water are brought into direct contact to reduce the water’s temperature. As this occurs, a small volume of water is evaporated, reducing the temperature of the water being circulated through the tower. They represent a relatively inexpensive and dependable means of removing heat from cooling water. The make-up water source is ...
The supplied Low Temperature Organic Rankine Cycle (LT-ORC) module runs on waste heat recovered both from the flue gases of the Burkhardt gasifiers and from the cooling jackets and flue gases of the gensets the gasifiers supply syngas to. The module –a standard ZE-50-ULH system – adds a further 45 kWE to the 360 kWE produced by the gasifier/engine ...
Mist eliminators are commonly found either in vertical towers or in stages in a horizontal scrubber or in cooling towers. They can be engineered for an existing or new scrubber vessel and are custom made to fit the vessel. ...
Covering over 520,000 square feet, the San Jose McEnery Convention Center is the largest convention center in Silicon Valley. In keeping with the City of San Jose’s Green Vision and Climate Smart sustainability plans, the Convention Center implemented several environmental initiatives including: Composting Services First ChargePoint Ammerica electrical vehicle charging stations in San ...
The approach of summer is a good time to check the performance and, more importantly, the physical condition of your cooling towers. After all, it’s easier to repair a tower when weather conditions don’t put a strain on its cooling capacity. A cooling tower passes air over tiny ...
Delta manufactures a broad line of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) engineered plastic tower models. “For example, if an undersized cooling tower is not producing cold enough water to cool the condenser loop of an office building’s HVAC chiller, then the chiller could shut down. ...
Foam in Cooling Towers Treated with BCP 1000 and BCP 2000 Series Cleaner/Dispersant Products Foam happens Foam generation is a common natural aquatic phenomenon, occurring in lakes, rivers and throughout the world’s oceans. Natural foams formed at a waterfall (left), and at the seashore. Foam formation requires the presence of a surface active agent (surfactant) to reduce surface ...
