The packing in the circulating water plant has collapsed – how to deal with it?
Thread Content
A part of the packing in the circulating water area of a refinery in Shandong has collapsed; the bottom portion has detached and the damage is spreading. Due to the high amount of scale in the circulating water, this scale adheres to the packing. The scale layer on the columns of the cooling tower, on the detached packing, and around the fans is about 0.3–1.2 centimeters thick. If reinforcement is needed at the bottom, what material would be most suitable? Are there any new types of cooling towers? How is the cooling effect? :handshake
Reinforcement definitely won’t work; with such severe scaling, the cooling effect will surely be poor. It can only be replaced by either selecting a different model or treating the water.
New type of cooling tower? . . Yes, the closed-loop cooling works well. .
From what you say, the quality of the water in your circulation system is very poor. Our equipment originally used water with a hardness of 500, but through technical modifications this value was reduced to 75; you should still address the root cause of the problem.
