In mechanical draft Cooling Tower the fan is placed at the discharge point, which pulls air through tower.
Working Principle: Hot water is distributed evenly by nozzles over the fill media & air is pulled over thefill area with the help of a
fan placed over it. This process results in exposing hot water to air stream thus cooling it by following two phenomena:

Evaporation (75%) approx

Sensible cooling (25%) approx

The cold water is accumulated at sump & again used for recirculation.
During evaporation there is a lot of water loss which goes out of cooling tower & gets discharged into the atmosphere as hot moist
water vapor. In order to prevent evaporation loss, drift eliminators are used.
Material of Construction (MOC) for Induced draft cooling towers can be -Treated Wood Stainless Steel/ Pultruded FRP (Each having
its own advantage & disadvantages)
Depending upon the air flow direction (Perpendicular /Parallel to water) IDCT can be classified as follows:

1. Counter flow

2. Cross Flow

Induced draft concrete cooling tower (IDCT) with film or splash fill

Initially wood was used as material of construction (MOC) for cooling tower.Later due toenvironmental concern and non-
availability of good quality wood, RCC has been frequently used in Cooling Towers however it also has following limitations:

Longer construction time period

Susceptive to corrosion & other environmental impacts like biological growth
High initial cost for small cooling tower
Not suitable for sea water application

Pultruded FRP is an excellent alternative material.

Advantages of Pultruded FRP as material of construction (MOC) for Cooling Tower are as following:
Light Weight
Remarkable strength
Easy erection
http://www.byggingindia.com/CL.html#Circulating%20Water%20Treatment 4/12
1/3/2019 Bygging India Ltd.
Free from biological attack
Chemically & Electrically inert
Corrosion free
Flame retardant& hence can be used in Refinery, Petrochemicals
Longer life span than wood
Suitable for sea water application
Low initial cost
BIL has its own expert team for erection of Pultruded FRP towers
BIL has tie ups with manufacturers of Pultruded FRP sections

Circulating Water Treatment

Circulating water contains water from many sources. The circulating water carries heat from the process which needs to be
discharged along with its heat and accumulated impurities. But circulating water can’t be discharged all the time because of limited
availability of water as a source. To reuse the same water again a Cooling Tower is required which removes the extra heat and
accumulated impurities of the water. However using same water again & again creates following problems in the system:

Growth of Algae & fouling in system

Corrosion of various components like Pipes, Valves & other metallic components used in Cooling Tower
The dissolved chemicals form a hard layer of scalein the system
Microbiological Contamination
Chocking of nozzle & fills due to high Total Suspended Solids (TSS)

Circulating Water Treatment is very essential to keep impurities within limit. It consists mainly of:

Side Stream Filtration (to remove suspended solids)

 Chlorination System (to prevent biological growth)
Chemical Dosing System (to remove dissolved solids, corrosion/sc ale inhibition etc)

Side Stream Filter:

A small portion (usually 2-5%) of circulating water is taken and filtered using vessel containing filter media such assand and gravel.
It is used to reduceTSS (Total Suspended Solids) and Turbidity of circulating water.
It is used for prevention of fouling of heat transfer surface
Chlorinator System:
A small amount of chlorine is dosed in circulating water system either by tonner or by acid –hypochlorite ClO2 dosing.
 It is used for controlling biological growth like algae.
Chemical Dosing System:
Small amount of chemical is dosed in circulating water system.
Depending upon the type of chemical used it is further classified into following:

H2SO4 Dosing System:

A small amount of acid is dosed in circulating water system.

It is used to control scale build-up by lowering the PH of water and converting calcium bicarbonate scale to a more soluble calcium
sulphate form.
Since H2SO4 is an aggressive acid that cancorrode metal,must be carefully dosed into the system and must be used in conjunction
with an appropriate corrosion inhibitor.

Biocide Dosing System

http://www.byggingindia.com/CL.html#Circulating%20Water%20Treatment 5/12
1/3/2019 Bygging India Ltd.
Chemicals like Quarternary Ammonium compound based formulation and Carbamate / Isothiazolene / Bisphane based formulation
containing active ingredients are used in the dosing system
Dosing of chemicals is done in cold water sump. It removes biological fouling agents

Polymeric Dispersant Dosing System

Dosing of low molecular weight dispersant (<5000) preferably Poly Acrylic Sulphonic Acid based Copolymer (PA-SA) or Acrylic Acid
HydroxyAllyl Oxy Propane Sulphonate based dispersant (AAHAPS) is done.
It is used as a scale inhibitor and scale dispersant for circulating cooling water system

Timber To FRP Conversion:

Timber has been used as a construction material for Cooling Tower in past because of its easy availability.
However there are disadvantage of using wood as cooling tower construction material.

Lesser availability of good quality of timber & using inferior quality of timber may lead to sudden collapse of Cooling tower
affecting plant performance.
Timber is susceptible to decay due to biological attack, internal decay, temperature&moisture.
To prevent it from decay wood is needed to be treated which is a costly& environmentally unsafe.

On the other hand Pultruded FRP has many advantages over timber.

Pultruded FRP has a remarkable strength

Free from biological attack
No chemical treatment is required
Chemically inert and can be used for sea water application
Electrically inert and can be used in electrical environment
Life span of Pultruded FRP is much more than timber
Corrosion free
Flame retardant

Why conversion of wooden cooling tower into Pultruded FRP tower?

Lesser availability of good quality of timber & using inferior quality of timber may lead to sudden collapse of cooling tower.
Timber is susceptible for decay & biological attack whereas PultrudedFRP is an inert material
Pultruded FRP cooling tower require less erection time & can be erected during annual shut down of the plant
Pultruded cooling tower require less maintenance
The lifespan of Pultruded FRP profiles are around 15 years

Annual Maintenance Contract:

Cooling towers are basically heat rejection devices, which are used to dissipate unusable waste heat in the environment.
Failure of cooling tower can result in shutting down of the whole plant so prime focus should be given to its maintenance. Although
maintenance is looked by plant personnel /maintenance department but it is generally found that some of the defects are
overlooked.

defects & take corrective action.
3. BIL also train your maintenance personals to take care preventive maintenance. 

Preventive maintenance increases life of the equipments &reduces running cost of the plant.

Structural Upgradation:
Cooling Tower has to stand against various forces & loads. On the other hand it is susceptible for environmental attack, ageing,
vibration& corrosion which over the period of time results in wear& tear,deterioration&at times making the cooling tower unsafe for
use. Negligence in this regardcan affect load bearing capacity of foundations, columns and beams degradation and even failure of
tower.
BIL is into civil construction for last three decades &have an experienced team which  thoroughly inspect the cooling tower from
foundation to fan stack & provide cost effective solution & saves huge amount of capital investment for new cooling tower.

Inspection:

Usually inspection & maintenance are performed on day to day basis by maintenance department but certain flaws &weaknesses are
overlooked.
To take decision for increasing tower’s capability,upgrading the tower for expansion and increasing water load it is very essential to
inspect:

1. The rotating mechanical equipment

2. Water distribution system
3. Tower internals
4. Structure of cooling tower.
