Biofouling control has always been a difficult task for cooling tower treatment programs
The pretreatment and corrosion control program used gave excellent results for biological fouling
and impressed current corrosion technology
Three separate 50 days research studies using ammonia and phenol stripped coal gasification condensate from the Great Plains Coal Gasification Plant were performed
00-01: Design Features and their Affect on High Performance Fill Cleaning Systems January 2019In the design of a high performance cooling tower fill, many design features must be considered to produce optimum performance. This paper will show laboratory test data and detail the effect on fill performance of the following items; Flute geometry (cross corrugated, offset tube, vertical tube), Cross corrugated flute angle, Sheet pitch (19mm vs. 20mm vs. 17mm vs. 12mm), Microstructure (course, fine, none), Material (PVC & polypropylene), Module
