99-03: Actives Based Monitoring and Control for Improved Cooling System Managem Fire Protection

99-03: Actives Based Monitoring and Control for Improved Cooling System Managem Fire ProtectionSeveral new approaches for improving performance and productivity in the treatment of plant cooling water systems are discussed. The approaches are based on direct measurement of treatment program actives including polymer, phosphate, and phosphonate. Laboratory and field case histories are presented.

The EVAPCO Dry Cooling test laboratory can not only test first stage (concurrent flow

The information presented has been developed from tests

The effect of the end conditions is discussed and an appropriate end condition is presented

excessive amounts of cooling water loss requiring "make-up water" has become a larger issue

Condition assessments are typically conducted during short-duration outages

This paper deals with methods of determining a blend of polymers for optimum adsorption and effectiveness for a particular solid phase found in a cooling system

which may be understood as the sum of fouling on exchanger process side

The Pitot tube has been the mainstay of flow measurement in cooling towers for decades

Digital techniques now in common use

The findings from the assessment can be incorporated into the finite element model to determine wind load capacity not only of the as-designed structure but of the structure in its existing condition as well

that determine a huge impact on the cost of the whole unit

The main computer program options are then discussed
