RAPID COOLING OF EFFLUENTS FOR BIOASSAY TESTS USING STORED COOLING CAPACITY OF REFRIGERATED BRINE.

Author(s) : SCOTT K. R., FRIESEN A.

Summary

A SYSTEM FOR RAPID CHILLING OF EFFLUENTS FROM MINES, PULP AND PAPER PLANTS, OIL REFINERIES, CHEMICAL PLANTS AND MUNICIPAL SEWAGE PLANTS IS PRESENTED. THE EFFLUENTS ARE USED IN BIOASSAY TOXICITY TESTS AND LARGE AMOUNTS MUST BE RAPIDLY COOLED TO PREVENT LOSS OF VOLATILES AND MAINTAIN CONSTANT CHEMICAL AND BACTERIAL PROPERTIES. THE DESIGN IS BASED ON THE < STORED COLD > PRINCIPLE AND UTILIZES TWO LARGE, BRINE STORAGE TANKS. A COMPUTER PROGRAM PREDICTED RESULTS AGREEING WELL WITH EXPERIMENTAL TESTS. THE SYSTEM ACHIEVED A SAVING OF $ 9,700 IN REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT AND $ 684 PER YEAR IN PEAK ELECTRICAL DEMAND CHARGES COMPARED TO A CONVENTIONAL COOLING SYSTEM.
