Project Detail
The Problems :
- Shortage of good make up water source availability
- River water contained organic colloidal matter
- Cooling towers were treated with high concentration of biocides to minimize biological fouling
- Cooling towers were treated with high concentration of chlorine to minimize bacteria count
Technical Solution:
- River water was filtered with AFM type 1 and type 0, and then transferred as make up water to all 3 cooling towers
- Consequently, biocide and chlorine dosing level was significantly reduced in all cooling towers
- Colloidal and suspended matter levels were reduced by more than an order of magnitude, to significantly below allowed values
