Phase I. Pipeline-Gas Demonstration Plant. Demonstration Plant Engineering and Design. Volume 16. Plant Section 2400 - Cooling Water

摘要

Contract No. EF-77-C-01-2542 between Conoco Inc. and the US Department of Energy provides for the design, construction, and operation of a demonstration plant capable of processing bituminous caking coals into clean pipeline quality gas. The project is currently in the design phase (Phase I). This phase is scheduled to be completed in June 1981. One of the major efforts of Phase I is the process and project engineering design of the Demonstration Plant. The design has been completed and is being reported in 24 volumes. This is Volume 16 which reports the design of Plant Section 2400 - Cooling Water. The purpose of the Cooling Water section is to provide cooling water to process and utility units throughout the plant. An open recirculating cooling water system containing a forced-draft cooling tower is used. Plant Section 2400 contains a Cooling Water Chemical Feed System which provides for automatic and continuous monitoring of the circulating water quality. Corrosion and scaling are minimized by controlling the chemical dosages and by regulating the cooling tower blowdown. The cooling water system is designed to provide 85 exp 0 F cooling water at a circulation rate of 18,000 gallons per minute. The design return temperature is based upon a maximum 30 exp 0 F temperature rise in the various cooling exchangers. (ERA citation 06:028040)
