03-17: Feasibility of Seawater Cooling Towers for Large-Scale PetrochemicalThe major feasibility issues concerning the applicability of Mechanical Draft Seawater Cooling Towers for large scale petrochemical development in the hot humid Arabian Peninsula (Gulf) region were investigated. Issues addressed were tower thermal performance, permissible hot and cold water temperatures, scaling and bio fouling, drift and impact on corrosion, environmental impacts, O&M concerns, and life cycle costs. It was found that seawater cooling

The new treatment method resolved biological fouling issues and eliminated the need for shot feeds of a tanker truck load of bleach (~5000 gallons) every one to two weeks and the need for normal continuous dosing of chlorine and sodium bromide

The paper will provide a basic overview of these technologies and will be focused on the needs of owners

illustrating the value of innovative thinking in addressing specific water conservation challenges

While effective

This index could be utilized to set relative values on water and energy usage for codes or for guidance in "green" applications

Possible approaches to mitigate the wind effect are explored
