60-01: Amberlite IRC-84 in Treatment of Water for Cooling TowersLarge quantities of water are used in industry for various cooling purposes. This may be for cooling condensers in power plants, distilleries, oil refineries and chemical plants. The amounts of water required for cooling depend on the temperature of the cooling water and the particular use. It has been well documented that the industry uses more water for cooling than for all other purposes combined. The water used for the cooling may be obtained from

and the increased interest in attaining "zero liquid discharge" more attention is being given to cooling tower discharge in order to meet these goals

The creep rate of PVC fill was determined as a function of temperature

A new field method for enumerating viable Legionella and total heterotrophic aerobic bacteria was evaluated in hundreds of laboratory experiments and from analysis of over two thousand field samplers used in actual operating conditions

and where do we go the second half of this decade

Make-up waters with elevated calcium hardness tend to increase the risk of scaling in circulating cooling systems where the concentration of calcium increases through higher Cycles of Concentration (COC)

Results of synergistic mixtures of film deposited inhibitors will also be presented

A fully instrumented fan test was used to investigate the effects upon fan system performance resulting from two different styles of drift eliminators

there were many supportive comments posted and also many excellent suggestions to improve the Standard
