COOLING TOWER MANAGEMENT USING OZONE INSTEAD OF MULTICHEMICALS.

Author(s) : ECHOLS J. T., MAYNE S. T.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE ARTICLE DESCRIBES THE BASIC COOLING-TOWER, WATERSIDE PROBLEMS OF EVAPORATION, BLOWDOWN, MAKE-UP, BACTERIA FORMATION AND CORROSION. BECAUSE OF THE INCREASING COSTS OF WATER AND SEWER USE, AND STRICTER CONTROL OF DISCHARGED WATER STANDARDS, BLOWDOWN MAY NO LONGER BE A PRACTICAL METHOD OF CONCENTRATE CONTROL. ALSO, THE USE OF CHEMICAL DOSING MAY BE PROHIBITED. AN ALTERNATIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USES OZONE.OZONE REACTS WITH DEBRIS AND MICROBES TO FORM OXIDATION PRODUCTS WHICH IN TURN REACT WITH OTHER MICROBES, FOULED SURFACES AND SCALE. A PROPERLY BALANCED TOWER WITH OZONE INJECTION REQUIRES NO BLOWDOWN, AND PRECIPITATED SALTS DO NOT ADHERE TO SURFACES BUT CAN BE SHOVELLED FROM THE TOWER BASIN PERIODICALLY. D.W.H.
