75-08: Instrumentation in Cooling Water Systems Mechanical Draft TowersThe cooling Water treatments that must now be used require close control to prevent rapid corrosion of the metal in the water system. in situations requiring close control, instrumentation is usually more reliable and efficient than manual analysis and control. the parameters that require the most attention are: pH, Chlorine residual, Corrosion, Inhibitor concentration, Total dissolved solids.

Southwestern Public Service Company has two towers operating one sewage effluent make-up that have film fill

innovative companies have been improving this 'standard' product and have engineered traveling water screens that have an extended life

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