The water of the cooling towers can be treated very effectively with ozone for the control of algae, slime and microorganisms in the water and for the control of bacteria in the dispersion plume of the tower in the air. Incidental benefits of ozone treatment might be substantial conservation of water, reduced scaling and no toxic materials in the wastewater discharge. However, the careful consideration of make-up water quality, air quality in the area and cooling requirements placed on the tower must be made for a well designed well operating system. BAI has been involved in the development of this technology for some twenty years conducting pilot studies, system design retrofitting and system evaluations throughout the country from Florida to Vermont and to California.
