River water filtration to Cooling water makeup
Case Study: Samyang Project ID: Company: Samyang Location: South Korea Year: 2012 Description: River water filtration to Cooling water makeup Goal: Turbidity, suspended solids and organic matter reduction Capacity: 180 m 3 /hour 3 towers Water Source: Surface water Items Existing Values Required Value Turbidity (NTU) < 10 < 5 Ammonia -N, (PPM) < 3 - Bacteria Count (CFU/ml) > 10,000 <1,000 Suspended Solids (PPM) < 15 < 2 CODT (PPM) < 30 - The Problems: • Shortage of good make up water source availability . • River water contained organic colloidal matter. • Cooling towers were treated with high concentration of biocides to minimize biological fouling. • Cooling towers were treated with high concentration of chlorine to minimize bacteria count. T echnical Solution: • River water w
