20-02: Flue Gas Injection and Antiscaling Treatment for Cooling Water Treatment Iron Rot Attack

20-02: Flue Gas Injection and Antiscaling Treatment for Cooling Water Treatment Iron Rot AttackThe use of CO2 is a proven antiscalant treatment for cooling water systems and is applied in several plants in Europe. As an alternative to pure commercial CO2, we have tested the use of (concentrated) power plant flue gases as a source of CO2. The challenge is to determine the minimal CO2 concentration in the flue gas for an efficient antiscalant treatment knowing that typical flue gas from a thermal power plant contains CO2 in the range of 4% for

A concise discussion of the do's and don'ts of VFD's will be presented

Cooling tower failure can cost an industrial plant thousands of dollars in lost production in a matter of hours

Field case studies are presented discussing the application of newly developed polymers to prevent deposition under actual operating conditions

Significant reductions in film fill deposits were observed in both power plants
