17-17: Project Neptune: International Collaboration for High Wind Load Cooling Sidestream Softening

17-17: Project Neptune: International Collaboration for High Wind Load Cooling Sidestream SofteningThe Energy Development Corporation (EDC) is an owner and operator of geothermal power plants in the Philippines. The Southeast Asian region is prone to typhoons and the Philippines encounters an average of 20 typhoons each year. In 2013, the Philippines was hit by Typhoon Haiyan, which was the strongest storm ever recorded. The country sustained over 6,300 deaths, and heavily destroyed the power plants. This paper will focus on how the cooling towers

all of a sudden

Various types of filters are

and maintenance

and (3) removal of biofilms from small areas of cooling surfaces where they had accumulated inthe previous maintenance program

This paper discusses slow-running motor experiences of one of the European cooling tower manufacturer

the reply often centers on the cost of specialty chemicals used in the program

The data collected and the results of calculations from the different techniques will be compared

The author has been personally involved in these type failures on multiple occasions over the past years

high cycle operation risks mineral scale formation

If the enhanced cooling tower is operated as an evaporative chiller that can completely displace refrigeration equipment

Control of water treatment chemistry utilizing instrument measurement of system water flow and cycles of concentration provides precise control of chemical additives

process and environmental exposure conditions render the towers susceptible to corrosion of embedded steel reinforcing
