13-14: Prevention of Corrosion, Erosion and Abrasion in Cooling Towers Fans & Associated Equipment

13-14: Prevention of Corrosion, Erosion and Abrasion in Cooling Towers Fans & Associated EquipmentAsset preservation is a major priority among utilities and communities. Within Cooling Towers, the forces of corrosion, abrasion, and erosion can have devastating effects. Changes in cooling Tower design and water treatment practices are, in some cases, elevating the exposure. The use of protective materials is becoming increasingly critical to extending the life of cooling tower infrastructure. Sauereisen will present multiple solutions for restoring
