15-14: From Vision to Practical and Cost Effective Design Materials

15-14: From Vision to Practical and Cost Effective Design MaterialsA major Middle East Fertilizer Plant, with a long history of successfully reusing water in open evaporative cooling systems, had a mission to further reduce water consumption, effluent discharge and operating costs. Various approaches were proposed and appraised. This paper discusses options available for applicable approaches to reduce water consumption, effluent and operating cost; with an ultimate aim to achieve the vision of Zero Liquid Discharge.

lower corrosion rates

United States is by far greater than any other country in the indus­trialized world

and the relation to public health

Solid form water treatment scale and corrosion inhibitors for cooling water systems have been on the market as an alternative to liquid chemistry for well over a decade

The paper will discuss recent innovations in solid biocides and the numerous advantages over their liquid counterparts

The goal of this paper is to compare the measurement results of these two technologies with CTI-approved psychrometers and commonly used hygrometers for cooling tower tests

The system design uses conventional techniques in a patented process to achieve 350 concentration cycles of incoming water

retrofit and installation of metallic heat exchanger coils in the existing FRP Cooling tower structure while in operation

The department tested alternative biocides and is now using an effective low cost biocide

maintained exchanger heat transfer efficiency

Such legislation has resulted in the steady de-emphasis of chromate-based treatments in favor of more environmentally safe programs
