98-08: Cooling Tower Plume Abatement at Chicago's O'Hare AirportA recently completed project at Chicago's O'Hare Airport makes an interesting case study in the application and design of plume abated cooling towers. Expansion of the airport had resulted in cooling towers being located between the FAA control tower and one of the taxiways. The visible plume from these towers was obstructing the vision of pilots on the taxiway, and blocking the line of sight between the control tower and the taxiway. The solution to

stress corrosion cracking

including Legionella species

adjuvant material that increases the efficacy of oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides against bacteria both in biofilms and in cooling water

The newly developed dynamic scale test apparatus quantitatively relates degree of scale inhibition to these factors

This presentation will focus on the insights provided by the wind tunnel study
