82-06: The New CTI Sound Code - Interpretation and Application Sidestream Softening

82-06: The New CTI Sound Code - Interpretation and Application Sidestream SofteningA new CTI Code, ATC 128, standardizing the measurement of sound from water cooling towers was recently adopted. The highlights of this code will be reviewed. The implications of the code will be examined regarding current instrumentation that will and will not be acceptable along with techniques required but not explicitly stated in the Standard.

small droplet size spectrum situations

Higher capital first costs were offset by innovative structural designs that reduced overall installed costs

and/or economic benefits (reduced operating costs)

The implications of the code will be examined regarding current instrumentation that will and will not be acceptable along with techniques required but not explicitly stated in the Standard

it has increase in significance since the changes in water treatment procedures brought about by the EPA's banning of the use of chromate

The problem of "white rust" of galvanized steel cooling towers is defined

and environmentally friendly operating conditions

scanning electron microscopy and visual observations

whether processed from virgin or reground material

make-up water contains a low dissolved solids index and its main contaminants are aluminum and iron

A reduction of plugging and maintenance of fill cleanliness has been achieved using low levels of polymeric dispersant

since the early 1060's
