96-11: Strength-Degredation Based Life Expectancy of Wood Cooling Towers Corrosion and a long service life

and a long service life that are mandatory for these critical cooling applications

January 2019

the use of ClO2 was limited to later systems by the capital cost and complexity of on-site generators

Unchecked biofouling can lead to shut down cooling water operations and created potential human exposure hazards

The recycle and reuse of waste and process water streams can turn potential environmental problem discharge streams into beneficial cooling tower make-up streams

96-11: Strength-Degredation Based Life Expectancy of Wood Cooling Towers Corrosion and a long service lifeLife expectancy predictions of wood cooling towers are accomplished with the aid of nondestructive and or destructive testing of representative samples of structural members and their connections. Based on the test information on the current condition and the original design stresses, rates of strength degradations are computed for critical components. The degradation rates, combined with structural analysis, are used to project a life expectancy of
