  2. Cooling tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower

    Though the total particulate emissions from wet cooling towers with fresh water make-up is much less, they contain more PM 10 and PM 2.5 than the total emissions from wet cooling towers with sea water make-up. This is due to lesser salt content in fresh water drift (below 2,000 ppm) compared to the salt content of sea water drift (60,000 ppm).

  3. Drinking water quality in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_water_quality_in...

    PG&E used this chemical to deter corrosion in their cooling towers. The use of this chemical in cooling towers lead to a wastewater leakage into unlined ponds at their cooling tower sites. This, in turn, turned into groundwater contamination which adversely affected the town of Hinkley. The contamination resulted in a $333 million settlement in ...

  4. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

    Cooling towers are structures for cooling water or other heat transfer media to near-ambient wet-bulb temperature. Wet cooling towers operate on the evaporative cooling principle, but are optimized to cool the water rather than the air. Cooling towers can often be found on large buildings or on industrial sites.

  6. Drinking water quality standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_water_quality...

    Drinking water quality standards describes the quality parameters set for drinking water. Water may contain many harmful constituents, yet there are no universally recognized and accepted international standards for drinking water. Even where standards do exist, the permitted concentration of individual constituents may vary by as much as ten ...

    They either use closed cycle cooling by using cooling towers or once through cooling. Selection of type of system is based on the thermal pollution effect on sea water and techno-economics based on the distance of power station from the coast and cost of pumping sea water. Due to high salt concentration, it is necessary for circulating water ...

  8. Steam and water analysis system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_and_water_analysis...

    This can be achieved by two-stage cooling. In the first stage cooling (also known as 'primary cooling'), the sample is cooled by using available cooling water. In most of the countries, cooling water is available in the range of 30–32 °C. This cooling water can cool the sample unto 35 °C(considering an approach temperature of 3 to 5 °C).

  9. Water quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_quality

    Individuals interested in monitoring water quality who cannot afford or manage lab scale analysis can also use biological indicators to get a general reading of water quality. One example is the IOWATER volunteer water monitoring program of Iowa, which includes an EPT indicator key. [42]
