08-20: Seismic Qualification of Cooling Towers by Shake-Table Testing Fans & Associated EquipmentThe International Building Code (IBC) establishes qualification requirements for equipment, such as evaporative cooling equipment, to resist seismic loads. Where certification of seismic resistance is required, the basis for certification must be by analysis, testing, or experience data. For designated seismic system equipment that must remain operable following an earthquake, the most reliable basis for certification is shake table testing. The Code
outlines minimum standards

The result is technology that continuously monitors the efficacy of any oxidizing microbiocide program and adjusts oxidant feed automatically based on system cleanliness and demand
