94-15: Testing Procedures for Wet/Dry Plume Abatement Cooling Towers Deposit Control

94-15: Testing Procedures for Wet/Dry Plume Abatement Cooling Towers Deposit ControlFor several years many cooling towers have been designed with a plume abatement device to reduce or eliminate plume formation under some weather conditions (mainly in winter). The combination wet dry tower produces the desirable invisible plume of the dry cooling tower while maintaining the high thermal efficiency of the wet cooling tower. This paper describes the testing of wet dry plume abatement cooling towers to verify performance under the

field test results will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of VRTX system in controlling bacteria and Legionella in cooling water systems

Original formula are developed and presented for the best thermo-economical performance as a design point

Condition assessments are typically conducted during short-duration outages

and corrosion will be excessive and costly

(Exhibit #1)

It was found that seawater cooling towers can satisfy the cooling needs of large-scale petrochemical development in the hot humid Gulf region

An evolutionary improvement to existing plume abatement designs using a different heat transfer approach will be described

Laboratory and field case histories are presented

notable advances have been made in polymeric dispersant technologies that have improved calcium phosphate control

the results from a molybdate based treatment program will be reviewed
