10 Most significance of cooling tower water treatment
A cooling tower water treatment is the process which ejects the waste heats to the environment through the cooling of a water stream to redeemed temperature. The method which is used to eliminate the waste heat is the evaporation of water through the heat and cooling process. The cooling water tower is depended on air to cool for the working of the process. The cooling tower used for water ...

Invasion of the non-indigenous nuisance mussel, Limnoperna fortunei, into water supply facilities in Japan
The aquatic nuisance mussel, Limnoperna fortunei, arrived in Japan before 1987 possibly with the Asian clam imported as food from mainland China. Now the mussel’s distribution has spread to two river systems in central Japan. Water authorities reported several cases of damage caused by L. fortunei. Most cases of damage were caused by dead mussels clogging small diameter pipes for raw water ...

Monitoring once through cooling water - Case study
The Situation Power plants and paper mills use service water loops and mill water loops respectively for the cooling of lubricating, hydraulic, turbine and transformer oil. These cooling systems feature large, recirculating volumes of water which are treated with biocides, dispersants, and corrosion inhibitors. By comparison, refineries often use once through cooling water systems. The cooling ...
