Flow measurement challenges and solutions
Water is utilized for multiple purposes — cooling, process applications, service water — at many industrial plants. Accurately measuring flow rates in various process streams is critical to ensure proper equipment operation and to maximize plant efficiency. However, such measurements are often very challenging. This article outlines several examples from the power industry, and ...

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 ...

Cooling Tower
A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which air and water are brought into direct contact to reduce the water’s temperature. As this occurs, a small volume of water is evaporated, reducing the temperature of the water being circulated through the tower. They represent a relatively inexpensive and dependable means of removing heat from cooling water. The make-up water source is ...
