How to reduce circulating water consumption?
Thread Content
Our plant’s circulating water system uses cooling towers along with fans for cooling. Due to leaks in the coolers of the ammonia synthesis unit, the ammonia concentration in the circulating water remains at around 150–200 ppm. In order to reduce the amount of wastewater generated, the water used to replenish the circulating water comes from the reverse osmosis output of the desalination unit. Over the course of a year, 5.5–6 tons of water are consumed per ton of ammonia produced. Is there any way to reduce the water consumption of this facility?
