Code of Practice for Water Treatment Service Providers (Cooling Tower Systems)
Source : https://www.thepublichealthco.com/
Adherence to and compliance with the Code of Practice will be recommended by of the Department of Human Services in its written advice to and
guidelines for water treatment service providers (WTSP) and other relevant stakeholders.The Department of Human Services and AIRAH will promote the application of the Code of Practice for WTSPs (Cooling Tower Systems) throughout industry, as a recognised standard for adoption by WTSPs. Compliance with the Code is voluntary. However, the process of organisational accreditation will establish compliance requirements on those organisations that wish to become accredited. As it will take some time and effort for companies to comply with the Code, a six month period of grace will be given in order for companies who have signified their intent to comply to reach the required standards. This Code of Practice will provide the ‘best practice’ benchmark for water service treatment providers to achieve.

Alternative Water Treatment Technologies for Cooling Tower Applications
This GSA Proving Ground (GPG) project assessed the performance of three alternative water treatment systems (AWT) for cooling tower water treatment applications at the Denver Federal Center (DFC) in Denver, Colorado. Cooling towers are commonly applied to water cooled chilled water plants in medium to large commercial buildings and are the point in the system where heat is dissipated to the atmosphere through the evaporative cooling process. Cooling towers also consume a large amount of water. Cooling tower related water consumption is one of largest potable water loads within buildings in the United States, with over 26% of water use associated with heating and cooling. Reducing water consumption is a priority for the General Services Administration (GSA) due to Executive Order 13693, Energy Policy Act of 1992, and regional water shortages. These factors have brought about the investigation of cost effective opportunities to reduce water use, such as AWT technologies for cooling towers. The current state of water treatment in GSA buildings is to use conventional chemical based cooling tower water treatment to maintain cooling tower water quality and contract out this specialized service to a third-party company specializing in such service.

Harnessing the Fourth Industrial Revolution for Water
The “Fourth Industrial Revolution for the Earth” is a publication series highlighting opportunities to solve the world’s most pressing environmental challenges by harnessing technological innovations supported by new and effective approaches to governance, financing and multistakeholder collaboration. We have a unique opportunity to harness this Fourth Industrial Revolution – and the societal shifts it triggers – to help address environmental issues and transform how we manage our shared global environment. The Fourth Industrial Revolution could, however, also exacerbate existing threats to environmental security or create entirely new risks that will need to be considered and managed. Harnessing these opportunities and proactively managing these risks will require a transformation of the “enabling environment”, namely the governance frameworks and policy protocols, investment and financing models, the prevailing incentives for technology development, and the nature of societal engagement.

Water Softening Treatment Plant Study City of Grand Ledge
Executive Summary
The City of Grand Ledge (City) retained Fishbeck to evaluate options for the replacement of the City’s existing iron removal treatment system. Fishbeck is evaluating three options as part of this process: the installation of a new iron removal system, the installation of a new softening system, and receiving water from the adjacent Lansing Board of Water & Light (LBWL) system. This report evaluates the second option, the installation of a new softening treatment system to replace the existing iron removal system. The City’s existing iron removal plant utilizes an AERALATER® Type II-Q Packaged Iron and Manganese Removal System by General Filter (Aeralater) for iron removal. The Aeralater is at the end of its useful life, and has significant signs of deterioration. The repair of the Aeralater system was investigated as part of a prior study completed by Fishbeck, which determined that repair of the Aeralater would be costly and would give a low return on investment. The City opted to move forward assuming that the Aeralater unit would need to be
replaced, rather than attempt to repair it.

Industrial Water Treatment Operation And Maintenance
INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRIAL WATER TREATMENT
1-1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE. This UFC provides an overview of industrial water treatment operations and management. As used in this UFC, the term “industrial water” refers to the water used in military power generation, heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, cooling, processing, and all other equipment and systems that require water for operation. Industrial water is not the same as potable water. Industrial water is never consumed or used in situations that require a high degree of sanitation. Industrial water requires water preparation or chemical treatment, or both, to avoid the problems described in paragraph
1-1.2. Water preparation and chemical treatment requirements are described in Chapters 2 through 5 according to the type of system in question. The Navy has special uses for shore-to-ship steam. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEASYSCOM) shore-to-ship steam purity standards are described in Chapter 3. Examples of industrial water systems and their uses are
• Steam Boiler Systems. (See Chapter 3.) Steam uses include space and hot water heating, sterilization, humidification, indirect food processing, and power generation.
• Cooling Water Systems. (See Chapter 4.) Cooling water is used in cooling towers, evaporative coolers, evaporative condensers, and once-through systems. Applications are broad, ranging from simple refrigeration to temperature regulation of nuclear reactors.
• Closed Water Systems. (See Chapter 5.) These include closed hot water, closed chilled water, and diesel jacket systems.
