Industrial Fuel Gas Demonstration Plant Program. Task III report, demonstration plant mechanical design. Volume XI. Cooling tower; flare
The cooling water system consists of a mechanical draft cooling tower, cooling water circulation pumps and chemical treatment. Cooling water at 88/sup 0/F is pumped to distribution by the cooling water circulating pumps from the cooling tower through the supply header to users. From the users the cooling water (average temperature: 114/sup 0/F/design: 118/sup 0/F) completes the closed-loop system via the return header to the tower. The cooling water chemical feed system provides for automatic and continuous monitoring of circulating-water quality. The monitored water quality is used to control the sulfuric acid pump, corrosion inhibitor addition pump, dispersant addition pump, direct injection of gaseous chlorine and a cooling water blowdown valve. The blowdown controls total dissolved solids and pH and is sent to waste water treating for treatment. Other equipment associated with the cooling water is described. The primary source of makeup cooling water is city water from the Memphis Davis Pumping Station stored in the utility area. The flare system provides for the safe burning of combustible vapors released from process equipment during operating upset conditions, start-up and shut-down. The Elevated Flare System provides for smokeless burning of the hydrocarbon vapors by use of steam injection at the flare tip. The height and location of the flare are designed so that heat radiation will not be hazardous to personnel or equipment in the immediate vicinity.
