17-07: Wet-Dry Technology to Abate the Visible Plume from an Existing Cooling Drift

17-07: Wet-Dry Technology to Abate the Visible Plume from an Existing Cooling DriftAlliant Energys Riverside Power Plant in Beloit, WI undertook a cooling tower upgrade project in 2015 to reduce the visible plume from the existing wet cooling tower at a combined cycle power plant. The plume was impacting yard operations at an adjacent Operations Center, several residences, and a high travel county highway. Several different options were investigated and EvapTechs EVAPDRI wet dry technology was ultimately selected for this

which demonstrate why molybdate-based programs can now be used in almost any application

A new online analysis platform for water treatment systems is discussed

Our evaluation of this novel approach was based on laboratory data and on data generated in operating systems where reducing contaminants and iron deposition have limited the effectiveness of conventional chrome-zinc programs

The states have an op­

Many benefits accrue to all segments of the industry when cooling towers are certified per CTI Standard STD-201

A parametric study has been carried out to investigate the effect of steam velocity

and during plume abatement (winter) season

In accordance with these codes

This paper also examines the limits of plume abatement technology to reduce the frequency of visible plumes

The model was used to understand the main phenomenon leading to ice transport and accumulation

simplicity and logic

A laboratory study simulating throughfall from 1 to 6 inches of rain suggested that there are more exchange sites associated with litter than live foliage
