Cooling Towers are structures that use water evaporation or airflow to remove excess heat from industrial equipment and HVAC systems. They are essential for power plants, factories, processing / manufacturing plants, hotels and other large commercial buildings that depend on water circulation to discard heat from the building.
SUMMARY
Remove 2 X 58,000 Litre Tanks with associated pipework and replace with 2 new 58,000 Litre Format 30 tanks
OVERVIEW
Our existing client has 2 tanks to supply water to the entire hotel, the original system did not allow the tanks to be isolated. This resulted in any maintenance work or cleaning to be carried out during the night as the entire water supply needed to be shutdown.
Client informed us of a leak in the base of tank No.1. We responded to this asap, because the 2 tanks were linked the pipework had to be altered so that tank No.2 could provide the water supply to the hotel and the leak could be fixed.
After discussions with the client; due to the leak, age and set up of the tanks, it was recommended new tanks were installed.
WHAT WAS DONE?
CONSIDERATIONS
RESULTS
The new system in place allows one tank to supply water to the hotel when the other tank needs to be taken out of action.
The new alarm system operates on a “3 level” alert basis, so the client will now get notified at an early stage when the water is running low to allow time for action before disruption is caused
CONCLUSION
AquaChem had to work closely with our client to ensure the organization was impacted as little as possible. Any downtime on the water supply was kept to a complete minimum and the change over was carried out during the night to avoid disruption on the guests. Both us and our clients are very happy with the work carried out and how it will be easier to maintain going forward.
