88-02: Staged Cooling at Signaal/Shasta a High Recycle Evaporative Cooling Fouling Baseline data indicated severe biological

Baseline data indicated severe biological fouling

There are instances when an owner wants to assess the thermal performance of just an individual cell of a cooling tower as per ATC 105

result in biofouling which impedes heat transfer

a full-scale cathodic protection installation program was started

Predicting operational service time of heat exchangers between forced maintenance outages is a subject

88-02: Staged Cooling at Signaal/Shasta a High Recycle Evaporative Cooling Fouling Baseline data indicated severe biologicalAbstract: Signal Shasta is a 55 MW waste wood burning power plant located in Northern California. Plant water comes from on site wells and is high in silica. The plant is a zero wastewater discharge design. The cooling water system at the Signal Shasta power plant is a state of the art, water conserving, cost effective, and energy efficient design. The system totally utilizes all process water entering the plant and there is no waste stream discharge
