Republic Steel: CapDI for Cooling Towers - Case Study
Courtesy of Voltea B.V.
Introduction & process description
Water is often a hidden cost of industrial sites and can contribute significantly to operational costs. Cooling towers are used to reject heat through the natural process of evaporation providing cooled water across a broad range of applications. Due to evaporative losses, the water remaining in the cooling tower becomes concentrated with dissolved solids that will lead to scaling and corrosion.
The traditional methods of scale and corrosion control are through dosing chemicals and blowdown - the act of discharging water at a high TDS level. This operation results in high volumes of water and chemicals being discharged to the environment. The quality of the water introduced to the cooling tower system is key to the efficiency of this process and the frequency of preventive maintenance intervals.
For this site, the Black River was the only viable water source. Republic Steel evaluated and rejected traditional and membrane treatment methods due to high operational costs and overall effectiveness on the water source.
