14-23: Structural Modification of a Power Plant’s River Water Intake to Thermal Performance Three companies have cooperatively developed

Three companies have cooperatively developed a structural frame system for industrial cooling towers using pultruded FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics) profiles as a substitute for lumber to improve the durability

Factors to be considered will be cycles of concentration and operational load

and Potomac Electric Power Co

The second phase

broad-spectrum biocide with particular efficacy against algae and slime

14-23: Structural Modification of a Power Plant’s River Water Intake to Thermal Performance Three companies have cooperatively developedA numerical study was conducted to evaluate design alternatives to alleviate ice accumulation at the river intake. A numerical model to predict the ice transport and accumulation at the river intake was developed and validated. The model was used to understand the main phenomenon leading to ice transport and accumulation. This paper will describe the use of the model to analyze the effectiveness of mitigation measures. A mitigation plan consisting of
