Seawater cooling towers have been used since the 1970’s in power generation and other industries, so as to reduce the consumption of freshwater. The salts in seawater are known to create a number of operational problems including salt deposition, packing blockage, corrosion, and certain environmental impacts from salt drift and blowdown return. In addition, the salinity of seawater affects the ...

One of basic principles in designing treatment environments is to design air conditioning/ventilation system proportionate to environment. Essentially, appropriate air conditioner in treatment spaces must bear the following capabilities: providing healthy and clean air, reducing the concentration of pollutants produced in the atmosphere, emission of pollutants and impeding their spread in exter...

We detected Legionella species in 111 bath water samples and 95 cooling tower water samples by using a combination of conventional plate culture, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and qPCR combined with ethidium monoazide treatment (EMA-qPCR) methods. In the case of bath water samples, Legionella spp. were detected in 30 samples by plate culture, in 85 samples by qPCR, and in 49 sam...

In this report, experimental investigation of waste water treatment by reverse osmosis to enable its reuse in cooling tower is presented. A polyamide spiral wound RO membrane followed by three filters as RO pretreatment (two activated carbon and one cartridge filter) and samples of Tehran refinery treated waste water have been used. The effect of operating conditions such as pressure difference...

Formation temperature is an important parameter in geothermal drilling since it affects drilling fluid, operations and equipment, through mud temperatures. In this study formation temperatures of the five geothermal wells in Germencik-Omerbeyli field were estimated by using mud inlet and outlet temperatures obtained during drilling. GTEMP wellbore thermal simulation model was used to estimate t...

Cooling tower merupakan suatu peralatan yang digunakan untuk menurunkan temperatur air dengan cara menguapkan panas ke atmosfir. Untuk mendapatkan desain dalam rancang bangun cooling skala laboratorium teknik mesin Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang, dilakukan studi literatur dan observasi, selanjutnya telah jadi, akan menjadi panduan operator proses pengerjaan pada setiap bagian dari sampai fi...
