CASE STUDY REPUBLIC STEEL’S COOLING TOWER APPLICATION: COOLING TOWER WATER SOURCE: BLACK RIVER, OH YEAR INSTALLED: 2015 INTRODUCTION & PROCESS DESCRIPTION CAPDI © SOLUTION PROVEN RESULTS 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 che
