Makeup-Water Characterization

Set cooling-loop quality and demand basis.

Scopo

Declare the source, seasonal quality envelope, available volume, and end-use requirements that constrain cooling chemistry and water balance.

Vincoli / considerazioni di progetto

Cooling-water compatibility depends on the actual metallurgy, heat-transfer surfaces, treatment program, operating cycles, and discharge route.
Reclaimed water requires source-specific constituent, residual, and variability review; a source label alone is not a compatibility assessment.

Strumenti per questa fase

Disponibile Convertitore di Unità Supporting: convert declared flow, pressure, and concentration units; this does not characterize water or assess cooling compatibility. Apri strumento

Guida ingegneristica Makeup-Water Characterization No current ATLAS tool characterizes makeup-water quality, forecasts seasonal variability, or evaluates reclaimed-water compatibility with the cooling system.

Fase 02 · Condizionamento chimico

Conditioning

Control scaling, corrosion, and biology.

Scopo

Set the circulating-water scale, corrosion, deposition, and biological-control basis against metallurgy, operating cycles, and discharge limits.

Prossima decisione

Domande ingegneristiche

What supplied-water saturation indicators and constituent limits govern, including calcium hardness, alkalinity, silica, and chloride?
Which inhibitor, pH adjustment, oxidizing or non-oxidizing biocide, monitoring, and control program is supported by project data?

Output chiave

Declared chemical feed basismg/L
Declared corrosion monitoring basisproject basis

Vincoli / considerazioni di progetto

LSI/RSI are empirical screening indicators based on supplied chemistry; they do not predict metal-specific corrosion, silica behavior, scale deposition rate, or biocide efficacy.
The dosing calculator calculates feed and batch quantities for a selected chemical and dose; it does not select an inhibitor/biocide program or set a cooling-water control strategy.
Sidestream filtration and reclaimed-water compatibility require measured solids/chemistry, metallurgy, vendor, and project review.

Strumenti per questa fase

Disponibile Calcolatore di Bilancio Idrico della Torre di Raffreddamento e LSI Supporting: screen water balance and supplied-water LSI/RSI; indices do not select a treatment program or predict corrosion. Apri strumento Disponibile Calcolatore della Base di Dosaggio Chimico Supporting: calculate feed and batch quantities after the chemical and dose are selected; it does not choose the program.

Cooling-System Balance

Connect evaporation, cycles, makeup, and blowdown.

Scopo

Connect the declared cooling duty and circulation basis to evaporation, cycles of concentration, drift, blowdown, and makeup demand.

Prossima decisione

Decide how blowdown is controlled, treated, and discharged or reused.

Domande ingegneristiche

What heat-rejection duty, circulating flow, and hot-to-cold water range govern?
What evaporation coefficient, drift class, and target cycles of concentration are justified by site conditions?
What makeup and blowdown flows result, and which measured circulating-water chemistry is used for saturation screening?

Vincoli / considerazioni di progetto

The balance is a screening estimate from declared circulation, range, drift, and cycles; heat rejected is informational and does not size tower hardware or determine circulation from a heat load.
LSI/RSI is calculated only from supplied chemistry and does not establish the allowable cycles for silica, chloride, corrosion, biology, or metallurgy.

Output chiave

Residuals and discharge review basisproject basis

Vincoli / considerazioni di progetto

Cooling-water balance can estimate blowdown flow but does not select blowdown treatment or determine reuse/discharge quality.
RO screening requires a characterized feed and defined recovery objective; it does not design pretreatment, sidestream filtration, concentrate handling, or permit compliance.

Strumenti per questa fase

Vincoli / considerazioni di progetto

No tool validates reclaimed-water compatibility against metallurgy, biocide residuals, cycles, or water-use specifications.
Current permits, receiving-water limits, and project standards govern discharge; this workflow provides no compliance determination.
