The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests that regardless of cooling tower operating efficiency, about 1.8 gallons of water are evaporated for every ton-hour of cooling.

According to Varanasi, a 600-MW power plant could capture 150 million gallons of water a year—which represents about 20% to 30% of water lost from cooling towers.

To rectify this, the City built the High Service Water Works near the High Bridge, consisting of several facilities, of which the Tower, completed in the summer of 1872, is all that remains.

The particles will concentrate during the evaporation process and be attracted to the equipment surfaces in the cooling tower. When the concentration is so great that the water can hold no more ...

The initiative is taking place at EDF’s 3.6 GW Bugey Nuclear Power Plant in France, where Infinite Cooling’s technology will capture water from cooling tower plumes.
