64-06: Fungus Control in Cooling Towers Environmental Importance

64-06: Fungus Control in Cooling Towers Environmental ImportanceFungus attack of cooling tower wood was first observed along the Gulf Coast about 20 years ago. Chemical attack of wood due to excessive chlorination, high carbonate alkalinity, and rupture of wood fibres from sodium salt deposition had been long recognized and observed. When biological attack of wood was first observed a lot of 'confusion' existed in those plants where it occurred.

joint adequacy

patent number 5

Molybdates are one such alternative

and overload have been observed

drift eliminators

This study was conducted in a effort to evaluate a simplified procedure for determining the condition of structural members in a wood cooling tower

Severe Biofouling of critical overhead exchangers reduced plant throughput

Pressure recovery is an effect that occurs in gas and liquid flows

That fire did have an effect upon the insurance industry and they wrote a performance requirement for the fire proofing of cedar shingles and shakes

which is directly coupled with fan impeller

has resulted in neither a good understanding nor a guideline on when it makes sense to upgrade to SS versus when it is better to stay with HDG
