Problem A western USA power plant cooling system was experiencing undesirable levels of copper. Corrosion inhibitors were employed for maximum corrosion protection but undesirable copper levels persisted in the cooling system. The blowdown water typically contained 0.15 mg/L of soluble copper and this was going to exceed pending new permit discharge targets. Plant personnel were looking for a ...
The development of biofilms and the role they play in corrosion and deposition processes may be the most misunderstood and underestimated factor in the treatment of cooling water and other industrial water systems. Ask any water treatment professional about calcium carbonate scale or to explain the major attributes of a typical corrosion cell, and you may get a reasonable explanation provided ...
Cooling towers play a crucial role in numerous industrial processes by controlling the temperature of equipment and materials. However, they often face challenges like blockages, scaling, and corrosion, which can disrupt their functionality and result in expensive downtime. To address these issues, many companies are turning to Vari-Flow valves and screens as a dependable ...
How to replace the filling in the cooling tower The cooling tower should be shut down and cut off for power and water supply when replacing the filler. Cooling tower fill replacement steps are as follows:a. Before construction, protect, isolate and list other equipment on site; protect other components in the tower to prevent damage.b. To remove the filler of the old cooling tower, it is ...
Brentwood proudly introduced two new fill media products earlier this month at POWER-GEN International: ShockWave & ThermaCross. Following extensive research and development, the company predicts these products will revolutionize their respective markets within the cooling tower industry. “We are confident that ShockWave will become the ...
OVERVIEW A Global Multinational company having their R&D and IT center at a South India facility consists of 8 buildings and equipped with 1,200TR Chillers to maintain the right temperature. They were using traditional chemicals for Scale, Corrosion and Bio growth fouling which increase the operational cost of cooling system, with descaling done once in every 4 months. WATER SYSTEM ...
Brentwood is excited to announce the introduction of its all-new separator system, designed for use in counterflow and crossflow cooling tower applications. This system complements many other cooling tower products Brentwood supplies to the industry, including fills, drift eliminators, and inlet louvers. The Brentwood Separator System is designed to remove troublesome solids, dirt, and debris ...
Overview Cold storage facilities show common operational concerns. Keeping product cold in a reliable and cost effective manner is central to business operations. Their ability to keep and store product at constant low temperatures is their business. In this industry, a facility’s refrigeration system can be the costliest culprit of a high utility ...
In North America, the most common applications for structural sheet media are to promote biological growth in trickling filters and evaporation in cooling towers. Stacking In both wastewater and cooling tower applications, structural sheet media packs are actually stacked up to twenty or thirty ...
KDF Process Media uses Oxidation Reduction Process for Scale and Bacteria Removal A plastic injection molding plant uses KDF media to control microorganisms and eliminate scale build-up in cooling towers-at 25% of the cost of chemical treatments. ...
One of the simplest and most cost-effective ways in which to extend the life of a cooling tower, improve heat transfer efficiency and reduce maintenance downtime, is to upgrade the cooling tower’s fill media to components constructed out of robust and non-clogging materials such as Polypropylene (PP), PVC ...
The rest is consumed by tray supports, liquid distribution weirs and other internal devices. Packed Tower In a packed tower, the surface area is created by extending the area of the liquid making the liquid pass over some media inside the tower. This media, or packing, may be in the form of hundreds of ...
