TP26-24 Bacteria Management Strategies for Refineries and Chemical PlantsRefineries and chemical plants have a robust opportunity to manage bacteria proliferation in cooling waters due to the development of new inline sensors and additional bacteria test methods that can measure reduced heat transfer efficiency and increased health risks from biofilm. This paper starts with the awareness of risks by key stakeholders in industrial plants, followed by current operating and turnaround practices and the associated assessment

There are many situations where the condition and performance of the condenser directly affects the performance of the cooling tower

recovery and analysis so as to obtain accurate and repeatable results

describe the methods of testing

This study continues the use of the test method

but those almost always operate at significantly lower temperatures than the heat exchangers

water discharge

To Activate:

along with high tolerance to pH upset impart significant operation flexibility to the program when compared to stabilized phosphate program

An important feature of this quality system approach is the independent verification

Natural Draft Hyperbolic Cooling Tower structures are essential components of energy generation

It will explain how pressure drop changes performance

This paper is a discussion of the mathematical accuracy of the CTI Test Code ATC-105 test evaluation method
