70-04: Cooling Towers, The Environment and the Future MiscellaneousThe market for cooling towers in the United States is experiencing remarkable growth. For once, both the public and government sectors appear to be united and are combining on the hot issue of thermal pollution abatement and causing industry and especially the electrical utilities to cease dumping of thermal wastes into natural water courses. The largest single source of thermal wastes is the electrical utility industry, although there are

along with the analysis of field data is expected to result in concrete recommendation to overcome the field level problem in performance evaluation and thus improved performance

The performance of drift eliminators was evaluated by comparison of the droplet size distribution below and over them

Some ozone suppliers claim Biocidal benefits of ozone throughout the cooling systems

This could become a Pandora’s box if we are not careful

The paper will discuss the structural

point sources

Plant experience with an electrochemical biofilm sensor with integrated data acquisition and data analysis capabilities for monitoring biofilm activity on metallic surfaces and the use of that tool for optimizing biocide additions is described

Water pollution laws in the United States are becoming increas­ingly more stringent

long-term storage is for an extended period of more than one year

Much confusion exists in both the cooling tower and the fan industry concerning field testing

building plants at low cost has been the priority rather than the performance

There is currently no published test code that governs the performance testing of large wet cooling tower fans
