COOLING TOWER DEBOTTLENECKING WITH RESPECT TO NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Cooling tower is a fundamental piece of equipment in any processing plant. As water is used as a cooling medium in a cooling tower, there is a tendency of biocides formation. Chloride ions are used in the form of NaOCl + NaBr to remove the biocides so that they don’t corrode any equipment that uses cooling water. The problem doesn’t end here, the chloride ions reach the limit where make-up water is added in order to compensate for the loss of chlorinated water and the use of makeup water is not cheap. Our project is to treat this chlorinated water by using a chemical compound that will not only do the job of removing the biocides but also to keep the chloride ions concentration under the threshold value to avoid addition of makeup water. A full-fledged chemical dosing facility is designed for this purpose.
