67-01: The Relationship of Cooling Tower Operation to Pollution Control Fouling

67-01: The Relationship of Cooling Tower Operation to Pollution Control FoulingThe dissipation of heat in industrial cooling systems has long been a source of pollution. The use of cooling towers is a distinct help in pollution abatement, but these devices are not an unmixed blessing. Although the operation of cooling towers has not changed markedly in the last few years, there has been an increasing outcry against all forms of industrial pollution. Cooling towers have drawn their share of the fire. It would be interesting to

Yet the short half-life of ozone coupled with the high ozone demands of cooling waters make it unreasonable to expect that any residual ozone will be present shortly after its application

in view of today's rules and regulations concerning pollution abate­ment

Appropriate prevention and inspection techniques are also discussed
