Cooling Towers for Power Station
A fierce tornado damaged one of six critical cooling
towers at an Oklahoma power station. The
loss of the 115,000 GPM cooling tower was severely
limiting power generation at the power
station.
The hot summer period was a particular challenge. A speedy
solution was essential and a US$100,000 a day penalty was
consequently part of the contract.
Power Station Cooling System
Working to schedule, within eight days Aggreko assembled a
temporary cooling system at the power
station. This comprised 45 1000 ton modular towers,
associated power transformers, power distribution and piping
systems. The unique and patented design allowed the towers to be
located in limited space. The elevated cold water basin in
the design meant no additional pumps were required.
Power Generation Resumed
The installation was a complete success. The power
station was back to normal production within eight
days. Utility consumers were assured of continued power
supply for air conditioning and other services.
