Delta Plastic Cooling Tower |
Many exothermic reactions occur when mixing harsh compounds or chemicals. These harsh chemicals have a negative impact on the performance of the process equipment handling the reaction. The equipment is also exposed to vapors and contaminants in the surrounding atmosphere. Metallic structures are the most prone to attack and corrosion.
When a cooling tower is needed in a corrosive or harsh environment, metal framed cooling towers with metal walls should be avoided. Instead, cooling towers with seamless, double wall plastic (HDPE) shells, corrosion proof construction, PVC piping and water distribution systems and totally enclosed motors are recommended.
Sample industries where plastic cooling towers are used in harsh environments are water treatment, waste water treatment, pulp and paper processing, primary metals processing, plating, and corrosive chemical production.
