We were recently asked about PM10 emissions for a cooling tower.  This relatively simple question is in fact quite complex. The short answer is that the PM10 emission rate depends on several factors. Nozzle type and pressure are a factor,…

Grey water is being considered more and more for cooling tower water, but what about untreated grey water with high concentrations of ammonia? We know how to handle the TSS, but what about ammonia in cooling water? Does ammonia do…

The purpose of FM Approvals Standard for Cooling Towers, Class FM4930, is to state the requirements for cooling towers that do not need automatic sprinkler protection. When going through the Approval process one of the key steps is to build…

Declining prices at the pumps have been great for our personal budgets. But they don’t lead to reductions in the prices of PVC products such as cooling tower fill. Here’s why.

Brentwood introduced the AccuShield antimicrobial technology in 2008, to reduce weight gain associated with fouling and improve the performance of cooling tower fills and drift eliminators. Here’s a quick video to introduce you to the technology: The video discusses that…

Brentwood developed its Mechanical Assembly (MA) Technology in the year 2000 as a solution to the industry-plaguing process of gluing plastic sheets together to create fill and drift eliminator packs. The gluing process was time consuming, costly, and released harmful…

There are several types of cooling towers, each with a unique approach to removing heat from water inside nuclear reactors. Find out how they work and what goes on inside them.
