12-21: Best Practices for Minimizing Drift Loss in a Cooling Tower Cooling Tower Water Blowdown TreatmentThere are many factors associated with the drift loss potential of a cooling tower. With the greater restrictions on drift emissions that are now required in many locales, it is important to know all of these factors to make sure that the drift loss of a tower is minimized. This paper will explore the various factors involved for both counterflow and crossflow cooling towers.

CooliSS is based on a chemical mass balance model and can provide previsions of cooling water chemistry evolution within the cooling circuit

Southwestern Public Service Company has two towers operating one sewage effluent make-up that have film fill

longer periods of run time and reduce under-deposit corrosion

These supplementary treatments include chemical treatments as well as additional electromechanical equipment

reliability problems with vibration detection system and ineffective routine inspection on both fan and vibration detection equipment

Precise knowledge of the heat transfer and pressure drops both on the steam side and airside

Field and laboratory examples are presented to provide an understanding of the factors that influence the microbiological efficacy of glutaraldehyde

many companies are reluctant to invest money and personnel in PdM programs because they don't understand how they work
