RECYCLING TREATED WASTEWATER THROUGH COOLING TOWER OR PROCESS SYSTEMS - Sponsored Whitepaper

The reuse of treated industrial wastewater as makeup for cooling towers, or reuse in a process, is being considered more often today as fresh waters become increasingly limited and costly, and discharge regulations become more stringent. Economic benefits include reduction and/or elimination of costs for fresh makeup water, sewerage fees, effluent monitoring, and permitting. A sometimes pleasant surprise is that treated wastewaters are often chemically superior to the fresh water source being replaced, allowing increased cycles and decreased chemical treatment costs to be realized in a cooling tower, or providing a decrease in chemical usage or water pretreatment requirements in process uses.
