17-04: Biofouling Control in Industrial Water Systems Dry Cooling

17-04: Biofouling Control in Industrial Water Systems Dry CoolingFailure to control biofouling in industrial water systems can lead to reduced system efficiency, microbiologically influenced corrosion, and increased downtime. Water treatment programs that include a combination of oxidizing and non oxidizing biocides provide a broad based approach to microbial control to minimize the negative impact of biofouling. In this paper, we will discuss the value of non oxidizing biocides and industry best practices to

scale control

Further work reviewed includes D

and a high fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model

The problems associated with using cooling towers in distilleries are unique because of the temperatures involved

energy can be conserved through the use of water

We will also examine the typical life cycle

mechanical draft

Water is vital to industry in processing raw materials

guided or allowed to float free on a cooling tower

splash fills

modular and cost-effective test set-up to thermally assess an individual cell of the tower

which generally results in the applied removal of the troublesome contaminant from a given fluid
