82-11: San Juan Water Conservation Reality Iron Rot Attack

82-11: San Juan Water Conservation Reality Iron Rot AttackThe wet dry tower at San Juan Station of Public Service Company of New Mexico is the world's first large water conservation cooling tower. The numerous design assumptions required for San Juan and the assumptions required for similar applications are reviewed. Test results and operating experience are included.

This paper describes some of the non-destructive testing techniques used for structural elements in cooling towers with some case histories

The approaches are based on direct measurement of treatment program actives including polymer

Sauereisen will present multiple solutions for restoring and protecting cooling tower basins and any other vulnerable concrete or steel surfaces

pumping head reduction methodology investigated

The main target of these R&D efforts was and is the improvement of the evenness of water distribution in cooling towers and consequentially the overall cooling performance

and materials/controls available to help operators understand the term "Green" as definable and measurable

This paper will point out the unique features of this family of products and show comparative field and laboratory data to aid in proper biocide selection

High operating evaluations for cooling towers have led to new counterflow designs and changes in typical operating parameters

a mixture of chlorine and bromide ions

A history of cooling water treatment for electricity production

to resist seismic loads

It was not until after the start of the twentieth century
