TP09-08: Cooling Tower Basin Evaluation and Repair Natural Draft Towers

TP09-08: Cooling Tower Basin Evaluation and Repair Natural Draft TowersMechanical Draft Cooling Towers are critical fixed Assets that need to be maintained and remain in service in order to cool various plant operations and systems. Essentially, the Cooling Tower Basin in mechanical draft technology serves a two fold purpose, one as containment for cooling water and two as the foundation for supporting overlying fill structures. Almost all of these Basin Structures are constructed of conventionally reinforced concrete,

all of a sudden

The methods available for dissipation of waste heat will be discussed

and increased system reliability and uptime

A description of the new technology and case histories demonstrating field efficacy will be presented

as structures age and deteriorate we are faced with the need of extending their service life beyond their original design lifespan by repairing them rather than replacing them

pipeline and components

An existing fan performance prediction code was used to identify desirable airfoil characteristics for large tapered/twisted blades

louvers and similar applications on cooling towers

To keep a system operating efficiently

the parameters that require the most attention are: pH
