How does a cooling tower work ?

March 02, 2021

Common applications include cooling the circulating water used in oil refineries, petrochemical and other chemical plants, thermal power stations, nuclear power stations and HVAC systems for cooling buildings. The classification is based on the type of air induction into the tower: the main types of cooling towers are natural draft and induced draft cooling towers.

How does the cooling tower startup work?

March 01, 2021

The primary goal of effective water treatment is to provide and maintain clean heat transfer, piping, and other water contact surfaces. Even before cooling tower start-up, surfaces are exposed to the elements of air and water, and that has an impact on four main areas:

Peracetic acid - the new hero in hospitals

February 08, 2021

Unlike bleach (sodium hypochlorite), it does not linger on surfaces. PAA components are completely biodegradable to its base elements of hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. In comparison to bleach, which requires rinsing after use, PAA does not need to be rinsed off surfaces. When used correctly, it can be used to sanitize surfaces, vessels, closed systems and equipment safely, ensuring surfaces remain sanitized until required.

Chemical injection quill for oil and gas application

January 20, 2021

Chemical injection quill is a mechanical device used in the chemical injection process used across many industries. It is an interface equipment between the chemical feed line and the process pipeline. The injected chemicals are controlled to achieve chemical reaction while the quill helps to disperse this into the process pipeline.

Why Does Kemio™ Perform Better Than Drop Count In Poultry Processing?

November 12, 2020

Have you ever experienced a variation in PAA readings across different operators, shifts or even departments at your poultry processing plant? How about a change in readings when you switch between drop kit brands? Have you ever obtained stable PAA readings only to suddenly discover that PAA levels are actually much hi

COVID-19 Guidance for Legionella and Building

September 03, 2020

The focus of this guidance is to reduce Legionella growth and other pathogen and corrosion concerns that occur when there is a large drop in building water use. The guidance focuses on potable water systems inside larger buildings with complex plumbing and the information is general in nature. Each building is different and will require different actions based on its plumbing systems, use patterns, and source of water supply.

Optimization of cooling towers

June 23, 2020

The load on a cooling tower depends on the flow and temperature of the water returning from the process. The controlled variable is the temperature of the cooling water that is sent back to the process and the manipulated variable is the air flow through the tower, which can be changed either by adjusting the speed of variable-speed fans or by starting and stopping a number of constant-speed fans.

Cooling tower safety vs optimization: The operational and safety aspects of cooling towers

June 23, 2020

Their cost of operation is the sum of the water and air transportation costs, and therefore, if these costs are minimized (optimized), the operating cost of the plant can be reduced a fair amount. (In an IBM job, we reduced the plant operating cost by 17% through optimization.)

Extreme Water Recycling

April 23, 2020

The average human uses 10 Gal a day of water to; drink, prepare their food, wash and clean. In some countries could be up to 50 Gallons a day. We all give for granted that we open the faucet and the water will come out, ready for consumption. However, there are places where the water is not so easily available or, it is not ready for human consumption. With that said, in other places, there are humans living with less than 1 Gal of water a day. I am talking about hard working humans, living and working in a very harsh environment.
