97-15: The Advancing Evolution of Centrifugation Cooling Tower Conversion

97-15: The Advancing Evolution of Centrifugation Cooling Tower ConversionCyclonic Filtration has transformed itself to new levels of performance. More important than solids separation efficiency, today's equipment now addresses the concentration and handling of separated solids, thereby differentiating this technique for its waste minimization value. This presentation explores the importance of this added value and describes techniques for various applications. Liquid re use and solids dewatering concepts are highlighted

communicate lessons learned from field installations and give the reader a practical guide to the installation and use of this type of motor

the filter operational reliability is high and the operation and maintenance costs are extremely low

cycles of concentration

Three companies have cooperatively developed a structural frame system for industrial cooling towers using pultruded FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics) profiles as a substitute for lumber to improve the durability

yet it is common for industrial customers to allow the "least common denominator" in cooling tower materials and preservative treat­ment to be furnished

reuse of non-potable water from liquid effluents has been used as a make-up feature in cooling towers

This includes tip clearance

The paper will present the results of case studies conducted for existing TVA natural draft cooling towers and will show how the improvement in performance is achieved

It has also shown excellent compatibility with other commonly used corrosion inhibitive chemistries

is from the general corrosion of the condenser tube

lowering environmental impact

This will include present costs and trends
