TP79-03 A Pilot Study to Detect Vegetation Stress...Pahwa & Shipley.pdfA pilot study of salt deposition rate calculations and potential salt stress on vegetation from a natural convection brine cooling tower is presented. The deposition rate model developed was a flat terrain Gaussian model with integrated salt drift calculations. The model uses actual hourly meteorological data wind speed, atmospheric stability, wind direction, humidity and ambient temperature. Cumulative depositions are obtained by summing calculations

and the establishment of protective measures allowed for successful reuse of this stream at minimal risk

the actual data that was taken during the initial washing of the wetted section of the treated wood during start-up and the methods used to meet environmental regulations and project goals for system start-up

When evaluations needed to be done to understand the structural integrity of the materials used after years of service of the towers

If we make quantitative measurements

When blockage was considered

whereas regulators prefer the EPA Method 13A procedure

2011 and closed July 25

tolerances

The paper reviews the literature on the control of filamentous iron bacteria (FIB) and compares some actual field experiences

thus imposing a sever noise criteria on the cooling tower

and other misconceptions and misinterpretations
