Hydrogen Peroxide as a Cooling Tower treatment

[harmonSmith]

Can H2O2 be implement as a total cooling tower treatment?

[harmonSmith]

hey i guys Good news. I searched the net and finally found this site http://www.jnblabs.com/. They are water treatment consultant and says that H2O2 can be used as a as cooling tower treatment and they are also implementing it.

What is a cooling tower treatment? Is that just cleaning the inside of a cooling tower?

 

What's the polluting substance inside?

Are we talking about those massive 150 meter high cooling towers that are standing next to major chemical industry and power plants?

 

If you want help from this forum, it helps to add more info! We're not "cooling tower water treatment experts", but we have the necessary scientific background and creativity in this forum to say something useful even if we're not experts...

 

But for that we need a little introduction

stuff grows in warm humid environments which are incidentally found in cooling towers. this can range from the nuisance problems like algae and scaling to biohazards like legionaires disease.

 

it is best to prevent these forming hence the cooling water needs a treatment(anti bacterial and such). as it is also exposed to the atmosphere you are limited on what it can contain(no volatile toxins or carcinogens.)

Cooling towers are heat removal devices used to transfer process waste heat to the atmosphere. Cooling towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and cool the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near the dry-bulb air temperature.

the towers vary in size from small roof-top units to very large hyperboloid structures that can be up to 200 meters tall and 100 meters in diameter, or rectangular structures that can be over 40 metres tall and 80 metres long. Smaller towers are normally factory-built, while larger ones are constructed on site.
