10-01: Your Cooling Tower Project on Time, on BudgetThe successful completion of cooling tower construction and repair projects depends on the proper execution of many activities at the proper time. The paper describes the importance of applying professional project management knowledge to help identify and reduce the risks inherent in all complex projects. Following the principles contained in the project management body of knowledge will insure your cooling tower project achieves on time, on budget

and water-cooled process equipment due to fatigue

Even though evaporative condensers have been widely used for decades

Mechanical Draft

Locations such as data centers

Concrete hyperbolic cooling towers built three to four decades back which have exposure to corrosion causing chlorides are susceptible to deterioration over a period of time

This paper summarizes the steps

especially electric generation or cogeneration stations require permit approval that contain criteria such as noise limits

a 5MW gas turbine generator in a combined cycle with a 39MW steam turbine-generator at the Rio Pecos Station located on the Pecos River

Comparisons between laboratory and field data are discussed

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

some feasible alternatives that provide adequate control of amoeba-fed Legionella in cooling towers by employing a combination of US EPA approved organic biocides

thereby increasing corrosion rates
