11-05: Structural Integrity Of Hyperbolic Cooling Towers In Seismic Zones Cooling Tower Water Blowdown TreatmentAbstract: Concrete cooling towers in seismic zones that have been exposed to corrosion causing conditions are susceptible to deterioration over a period of time. When repair to such towers are considered, large areas of concrete will need to be removed from the structures. This may impair the structural integrity to withstand dynamic loading due to earthquakes. The paper will provide an approach in developing some guidelines for repairs to minimize

and consumes less energy and less water than either of the other options

the authors presented a case study where an existing tower was retrofitted with a motor of this type

This paper will describe various microbial growth control technologies

The method is effective not only for aerobes and facultative anaerobes

This was a unique test

next-generation non-triazole based yellow metal corrosion inhibitor

It has also shown excellent compatibility with other commonly used corrosion inhibitive chemistries

and immunity to rot and decay

due to this stream's high salinity

Design philosophy of the modification effort and resulting impact on thermal performance recounted

Comparisons between a universal motor design and a more traditional motor design concept will be made

The purpose of this paper is to detail the activities which took place before and during the reconstruction of the (2) cooling towers of Unit #3 during the months of October and November of 2005
