What Is a Cooling Tower Water Safety Plan? A water safety plan for cooling towers is a structured program to regulate water quality, identify hazards, monitor conditions, and implement corrective actions to ensure consistent maintenance and minimize microbial risks. ...
Water treatment technology is continually evolving, and efficient oxygen transfer is central to water quality, sustainability, and performance. ...
Industrial cooling towers require reliable water treatment to maintain operation and energy efficiency. Effective management of cooling tower water reduces unplanned downtime and supports maximum production throughput. Temperature and system performance Summer heat increases thermal and ...
Industrial cooling towers are essential for heat rejection in many facilities but create conditions that favor Legionella proliferation. ...
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 ...
Filtration & Separation Enhancing Strainer Efficiency Targeted modifications can enhance the performance of automatic self-cleaning scraper strainers, says Robert Presser, President of Acme Engineering Products For industrial plant managers, automatic scraper strainers are among the closest solutions to a true “set-and-forget” system, effectively removing both large and fine ...
For nearly a decade, a seasoned water treatment technician had managed a 60,000-gallon open counter-flow cooling tower at a manufacturing facility near Houston, Texas. The system faced a persistent challenge: a water pH of ...
The facility is a rendering plant, utilizing a limited waste water system. The basic design has a cooling tower, from which the water passes through a grease trap and then into an aeration tower. The water is then discharged into a series of three small lagoons, with a retention time that is ...
Client: Keppel Seghers Site: Doha, Qatar Application: >98% efficiency NH3 scrubbing of <600ppm >98% efficiency H2S scrubbing of ...
Data centers consume approximately 200 billion gallons of water annually in the United States alone, with cooling systems accounting for 80-90% of that demand. As water scarcity intensifies across major data center markets—from Phoenix to Northern Virginia—operations managers face a critical challenge: maintaining uptime while addressing water availability constraints and rising ...
Your facility’s Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) score looks acceptable on paper. Your cooling towers run reliably. ...
Cooling towers represent one of the most critical—and water-intensive—components across commercial and industrial operations, consuming up to 3% of total freshwater usage globally. For sustainability directors managing facilities ranging from power generation, general manufacturing plants to commercial office complexes, data centers, ...
The commercial/industrial cooling tower landscape has evolved dramatically over recent years, yet many water and wastewater treatment professionals are still applying yesterday’s solutions to today’s complex operational challenges. With stricter environmental regulations, rising water costs, and increasing demand for ...
Cooling systems are critical for large plants, power stations, and refineries for improving operational efficiency. They control temperature, improve processes, and protect efficiency. However, these systems can harbor dangerous bacteria, the most concerning being Legionella. Legionella is more than just another waterborne microorganism. It is the bacterium that causes Legionnaires’ ...
The goal of an ETP is to remove contaminants from the wastewater so that the treated water can either be safely discharged into the environment or reused in various applications. ...
Filter Bag for Liquid Filtration: A Complete Guide for Industrial Applications The right filter bags for liquid filtration can keep industrial environments running clean and efficiently. Whether you are filtering water, chemicals, or oil, these filter bags are important in ensuring product purity, protecting equipment, and meeting regulatory standards. ...
Problem An Eastern cooling system was discharging blowdown water containing copper levels up to 0.2 mg/L, higher than water discharge permits allowed. Water reuse opportunities in-plant were limited so the plant requested assistance from Sorbster® Inc. to mitigate the copper problem. ...
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 ...
Are you a plant manager dealing with scale deposits buildup in your boiler feed water? Maybe you are a consulting engineer trying to optimize a client’s cooling tower water treatment. ...
Cooling towers: Cooling towers are used to remove heat generated during power production. Treating the cooling tower makeup water with reverse osmosis removes impurities, dissolved solids, and salts leading to an increased cycle of concentration, reduced water ...
