As environmental protection standards are gradually improved, the pressure on water use and emission management in industrial production has doubled, and the cooling tower industry has ushered in a new round of technological innovation. In recent years, plume abatement and watersaving cooling tower have become a popular choice for industrial enterprises. In terms of structural design, this type of cooling tower uses efficient heat recovery technology and advanced mist-eliminating devices to improve the utilization rate of cooling water, reduce the emission of mist, and reduce water resource consumption. It is widely used in industries with high water resource demand, such as steel, chemical industry, and electricity, and meets the current dual requirements of industrial water conservation and environmental protection.
Efficient Heat Recovery System Reduces Water Consumption
Compared with traditional cooling towers, plume abatement and watersaving cooling tower recover hot air and steam in the cooling process by introducing a heat recovery system in the tower, and reuse it in the internal circulation of the cooling tower. In this way, the amount of water evaporated during the cooling process is greatly reduced, and the utilization rate of water resources is improved. According to industry experts, this technology can effectively reduce the emission of water vapor and save water by 10%-30%. At the same time, by optimizing the water flow path and the material of the heat dissipation filler, the cooling efficiency of the cooling tower is significantly enhanced, saving operating costs for enterprises.
Defogging Device Improves Environmental Performance
The defogging function is another important highlight of the plume abatement and watersaving cooling tower. The defogging device condenses and recycles the moisture in the cooled air through special condensation technology, which not only reduces the emission of white mist, reduces the visual and temperature and humidity impact on the surrounding environment, but also reduces water loss. Many manufacturers have further upgraded the defogging technology to suppress the generation of fog by controlling the outlet temperature and humidity. Especially in cold areas, the defogging device can effectively reduce the impact of white water mist on the environment and avoid ice accumulation. It is understood that some companies using this type of cooling tower have successfully reduced fog emissions by more than 90%, and the environmental improvement effect on industrial areas is significant.
Successful Application of Plume Abatement and Watersaving Cooling Tower in the Steel Industry
Steel production has a huge demand for cooling water. However, for a long time, the problem of water waste and increased air humidity caused by the emission of fog from the cooling tower has always existed. Since a steel plant in the north installed a new plume abatement and watersaving cooling tower last year, the cooling water has been reduced by 20% and the fog emission has also dropped by 80%. The person in charge of the plant said that the plume abatement and watersaving cooling tower not only reduces water bills, but also effectively avoids smog weather near the plant, which meets the environmental protection requirements of green production.
As environmental protection policies become stricter, plume abatement and watersaving cooling tower are expected to be used in more industries and enterprises. Energy-saving and environmentally friendly cooling technology innovations will inject new vitality into the sustainable development of the industrial field.
