ACTS Thermal Discharge
When drought or extra hot weather sets in, or
as environmental restrictions increase, many plants that depend on
once-through cooling water become restricted by thermal discharge
limits. Aggreko specializes in solving these limitations. There are
three things we can do to help you get back within the
guidelines:
1. We pump a portion of the hot water
from the discharge canal, cool it off, and mix it with the
remaining water until it is within the permitted limit.
2. We remove a portion of the hot water
from the discharge canal, cool it off, and return it to the plant
intake, reducing the plants overall consumption of its cooling
source.
3. Completely remove the plant from the
once-through water source and place it on a cooling tower that is
unrestricted by discharge limits.
We can engineer and install a cooling tower
system optimized for any plant in just days.
