In pulp and paper manufacturing, cooling towers must balance three critical demands:
- Chemical resistance to handle harsh process streams
- High reliability for continuous 24/7 operations
- Energy efficiency in thermally intensive processes
Modern mills are adopting:
- Smart cooling systems with predictive maintenance
- Advanced materials for longer service life
- Water recovery technologies meeting ZLD standards
For plant engineers: Consider retrofitting older towers with high-efficiency fills and automated controls to reduce operating costs while maintaining production quality. New installations should prioritize modular designs that allow for future capacity expansion.
