10-09: Plume Abatement - The Next GenerationCooling towers have been modified to reduce the visibility of their effluent water vapor plumes for about 40 years. The evolution, breadth of experience and technologies of plume abatement cooling towers will be described. An evolutionary improvement to existing plume abatement designs using a different heat transfer approach will be described, including some of the development and demonstration achievements to date. Differences from currently used

The model was used to understand the main phenomenon leading to ice transport and accumulation

corrosion rates were higher than desired

elimination of chemical container disposal issues and is environment all safe

bromide-activated planktonic bacteria

two field case studies will be presented

Advantages and disadvantages will be discussed and case histories cited

other first cost items which vary between one bid and another

The ISO 9001 quality system originated in 1987 and has evolved since its inception becoming the standard quality system for the world

150) standard only recommends the use of mechanically-aspired psychrometers

long standing program for thermal capability certification of factory assembled towers

is placed in contact with water or a solution containing electrolytes

This paper discusses some of these problems and their circumvention
