Plume Abatement Systems for Cooling Towers

RuiD Cooling Tower Parts

Plume Abatement system is a type of module which is made of UV-stabilized PVC stacks and metal frame. It aims to reduce and eliminate the plume discharge which is caused by the cooling towers. With stable structure, high performance, the plume abatement condensing modules are more and more accepted and popular all over the world.

Working Principle

In the plume abatement mode, moisture is removed from the saturated wet section air by condensing in the heat exchanger, resulting in lower temperature saturated air leaving the heat exchanger. The combination of warm dry air from one side of the heat exchangers and the removal of some moisture content by cooling of the wet section air on the alternate side of the heat exchangers, reduces the relative humidity of the discharge air. The number of hours per year of plume visibility is thus reduced.

How the Plume forms?

The air leaving a cooling tower is essentially saturated, e.g. 100% relative humidity, and when discharging into cold, humid ambient air some of the moisture condenses. This condensate becomes visible if enough is present and looks like clouds or ground fog.

Large amount of plumes are discharged from the cooling towers.

Why We Need Plume Abatement System?

Aesthetics is simply the perception that the effluent from a tower obscures visibility of whatever is on the other side of the plume, and may be undesirable.
Community relations involves the association of the cloud-like water vapor and condensate effluent from a cooling tower on a cold day with smoke leaving an industrial process stack. A plant with a cooling tower may be perceived as emitting smoke.
Regulatory requirements relate to aesthetics and community relations, but are translated into public policy that requires use of plume-free, or limited plume technology.
Safety typically relates to the potential that a visible plume from a cooling tower might obstruct a roadway, or for an airport application, the view from the control tower. Sometimes there is a potential for the moisture to condense and freeze on cold surfaces.

A factory is discharging the plume and blocks the views of people.

Features & Benefits

Easier Installation.

Less piping means less investment than conventional systems during installation.

Less Cost

Unique patented design and materials means less need for maintenance

Greater Design Flexibility

Back-to-back design allows for flexible installation, including retrofits

Being Environmentally Friendly

The system significantly reduces the visible plume, good for environment and transportation safety

Longer Life

There is no need of frequent replacement or repair

Less Water Consumption

According to the results of practical engineering application, much more water can be saved

Applications

Plume abatement system can provide cooling tower efficiency, conserves water, and reduces unwanted water vapor plumes when integrated with field-erected counterflow cooling towers.

Two cooling towers with and without plume abatements are displayed respectively.

Three cooling tower: one without condensing module and two with modules.

Two cooling tower in the factory is production.
