97-09: On-Line Performance Monitoring of the 1300 MW Natural Draft Cooling General

97-09: On-Line Performance Monitoring of the 1300 MW Natural Draft Cooling GeneralAmerican Electric Power's past and current approach to determining and monitoring performance of natural draft cooling towers on coal fired generating units from 260 1300MW size will be discussed in the paper. The paper will focus on the Gavin Plant on line performance monitoring system approach with prior testing activities on AEP System cooling towers included from a historical perspective.

Discussion of effects of high efficiency filtration on bacteria

According to the new formula

identification and historical documentation will make the failure analysis pertinent and useful

in one step

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

A paper presented to the Cooling Tower Institute

Chlorine gas is used extensively in large cooling tower applications

different plasticizers

is discussed

and disclosure concerns when gaseous chlorine is used and stored on-site for microbiological control have forced many cooling systems to consider alternative oxidative micro-biocides

total bacteria

had a mission to further reduce water consumption
