09-02: Common Industrial Cooling Tower Errors and OmissionsThis paper lists many errors in specifications, bid evaluations, construction and operation. Most of these problems have been addressed in previous CTI papers and bulletins. However, these errors continue to be made effecting cost and performance of cooling towers. This is a brief review of some of the most important of these errors and methods to correct them.

and both bio-mass and suspended bacteria testing was established for a cooling tower water system to determine the effectiveness of an Electrodynamic Field generator

The role of cooling towers in the hydraulic scheme and the re-examination of methods of treatment of these cooling water systems is discussed

and good fouling protection are the evident results of this testing

Results of laboratory screening tests are also compared to those achieved in the Pilot System and on the main refinery cooling system

with the purpose of reducing the temperature of the circulating water discharged from the power station into the Bang Pakong River

The paper shows the frequency response of various common mounting methods

microbiological activity in the water as well as other treatment chemicals

Case studies with particle analysis results

Water pollution laws in the United States are becoming increas­ingly more stringent

inexpensive and effective in high pH water

Better pH prediction will benefit operators' control of their towers and chemical treatment programs
