88-12: Pilot Cooling System Evaluation of Treatment Program Effectiveness Fouling

88-12: Pilot Cooling System Evaluation of Treatment Program Effectiveness FoulingA Pilot Cooling System was developed to simulate the operation of an open recirculating cooling system for the purpose of evaluating potential cooling water treatment programs on a pilot scale prior to their implementation in the refinery cooling system. Pilot scale evaluations of newer, more environmentally acceptable, treatment programs were desired to determine their effectiveness in a refinery, without the need to treat the entire refinery cooling

manufacturing

Results confirmed that the technology delivered an average 20% reduction in make-up water and 48% reduction in blow-down wastewater

and better than another lumber and preservative treatment such as Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA)

It was found that seawater cooling towers can satisfy the cooling needs of large-scale petrochemical development in the hot humid Gulf region

where ozone is about 167

ozone replaced chlorine in a crossfire induced draft-cooling tower at a Henkel Corporation

vapor condensers

a new water treatment system was installed in the fall of 2006 resulting in a full payback in just 33 days

whether processed from virgin or reground material

The impact of these two factors will be discussed in this paper based on different testing results for polypropylene

Architectural enclosures for cooling towers are not a new phenomena

Identification of cooling tower problems prior to resultant failures allows avoidance of unexpected major repair costs
