An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Cooling Towers: Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Practical Skills for Effective Cooling Tower Management
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
Cooling towers are an essential component of water-cooling systems across power generation, petrochemical, and industrial plants. Their efficient performance hinges on several factors—chief among them being accurate wet bulb temperature readings and effective water management. Improper operation leads to excess energy and water usage, compromising both performance and equipment longevity. Challenges also arise from corrosion and microbial growth, making chemical and physical water treatment a critical aspect of cooling tower management.
This Cooling Towers Training Course is designed to equip participants with practical knowledge on process control, performance optimization, water treatment, and effective maintenance strategies. It highlights best practices in inspection, preventive care, and troubleshooting, ensuring participants can maintain mechanical integrity and system efficiency. Real-world case studies are integrated to reinforce technical learning.
Upon completion, participants will be equipped to:
- Understand various cooling tower technologies and operational dynamics
- Apply effective water treatment strategies and chemical control techniques
- Conduct accurate inspections and preventive maintenance
- Troubleshoot system failures using structured methodologies such as RBI and FMEA
- Maintain the safety and efficiency of associated mechanical equipment, including fans and pumps
