94-01: Drift Testing - Scale Up From Test Cell To Field Acceptance Test TestingIn 1989 Florida Power Corporation (FPC) agreed to install helper cooling towers at their Crystal River Generating Station to cool circulating water discharged to the Golf of Mexico. As a result of agreements with the environmental agencies a maximum allowable helper cooling tower drift rate of 0. 002 percent was required, including compliance field testing. An R&D drift testing program was conducted in 1990 in a cooling tower test cell to confirm that

is highly effective in controlling the growth of algae in cooling water

This paper describes the application of an innovative biodetergent technology to complement conventional biocide programs for fouling control

The solution can be fed directly to the cooling tower and controlled via ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential)

The significant increase in heat load in cooling water systems in distilleries

reduced energy

The order of solubility of metal hydroxide-silic acid

Cooling Tower customers request other shades for their applications such as beige (tan) or light gray

presents a special challenge because of the variability in makeup water sources

While owners of cooling towers are concerned about managing their legal liability

spray water
