06-17: Westar Energy Cooling Tower Rebuilds Fire ProtectionThe purpose of this paper is to detail the activities which took place before and during the reconstruction of the (2) cooling towers of Unit #3 during the months of October and November of 2005. The paper identifies the activities and justification involved leading up to this replacement as well as the procedures performed to actually demolish and rebuild these (2) towers during a 5 week outage.

procedures for conducting the tests

The tests and results for the analyses are discussed

New uses for technology continue to develop as industries look for better ways to meet their water and wastewater treatment needs while achieving sustainability goals

Yellow metallurgy (copper and its alloy including admiralty brass) has been widely used in heat exchangers due to its high thermal conductivity

This paper discusses the current state of the art in applying ozone as a solo treatment and with supplementary cooling tower treatments

In light of these developments
