One of the worst and most challenging tasks is gone with improved water purification in the cooling tower.
Challenges:
- Lots of leakage of washing water to the ground via plastic slats.
- Heavy manual work when changing the cooling cartridges: the cooling cartridges weigh 1 kg and more than 100 kg when removed.
- Exposure to chemicals and gases as well as crush and fall hazards.
Solutions:
- New slats in acid-resistant material. No leakage to ground.
- The basket is lifted with a crane and replaced with a new one.
- Replacement of plastic cooling cassettes with new ones in composite.
Results:
- Little or no exposure.
- Eliminates the risk of falling and crushing.
- No washing water leaks to the ground.
- Composite is rinsed clean and can be inserted again. No waste.
