03-17: Feasibility of Seawater Cooling Towers for Large-Scale Petrochemical Cleaning SystemsThe major feasibility issues concerning the applicability of Mechanical Draft Seawater Cooling Towers for large scale petrochemical development in the hot humid Arabian Peninsula (Gulf) region were investigated. Issues addressed were tower thermal performance, permissible hot and cold water temperatures, scaling and bio fouling, drift and impact on corrosion, environmental impacts, O&M concerns, and life cycle costs. It was found that seawater cooling
