Thermal Performance Testing Services
Large field-erected cooling towers are a substantial investment and impactful to the performance of associated equipment. In order to ensure that you “got-what-you-paid-for”, many cooling tower contracts include a final milestone payment tied to demonstration of guaranteed performance through independent testing. CleanAir performs these performance tests as a CTI licensed test agent under the guidelines of ATC-105. An ATC-105 test is a ...

Drift Emissions Testing Services
Cooling towers emit drift – which is a small fraction of their circulating water. The evaporation of cooling tower drift leads to PM emissions that cause downwind corrosion, icing, transmit legionella, and present other safety concerns. The US EPA considers cooling towers to be a source of particulate matter (PM) emissions so drift is often regulated by local air permits. Federal emissions factors as published in AP-42 are grossly conservative. This ...

Particle Size Testing Services
The size of the particles generated by the evaporation of the drift from a cooling tower is a function of the size distribution of the drift as well as the water chemistry. We can also measure the size of the droplets exiting the tower (7 to 4000 microns) and determine PM size fractions (PM10 and PM2.5). To do this, CleanAir has adapted a laser technology to measure the size distribution of cooling tower drift –

Sound Testing Services
One of the most common workplace injuries is hearing loss, and cooling towers can be a significant source of noise emissions. Like our clients, we are continuously working to eliminate hazards and use engineering controls to reduce our employees’ exposure to dangerous environments. CleanAir can perform sound testing in accordance with CTI ATC-128 or other test codes to measure near field and worker exposure to noise from your cooling towers. Taking ...

Plume-Abatement Testing Services
Plume-abated cooling towers are designed to minimize the amount and density of the visible plume that condenses at the cooling tower exhaust. These towers may be required by local authorities when the visible plume is a safety hazard or nuisance. Common settings include airports, locations adjacent to highways and urban settings. CleanAir evaluations are conducted in accordance ATC-150 to determine if plume-abatement performance guarantees have been ...
