Refurbishment & Upgrading of existing Cooling Towers & Bulk Air Coolers

| Induced draught counter flow
cooling tower |
IWC has been active in the refurbishment of cooling towers and bulk-air
air coolers of all makes, types and sizes over the past two decades. This includes
the installation of fill material, drift eliminators, spray systems and nozzles
as well as fan mechanicals Old cooling towers can often be satisfactorily
refurbished as an alternative to the purchase of new ones.
In many old towers wood fill and drift eliminators have been replaced with more
modern plastics and stainless steel. Also it is often found that the type of
fill originally installed has not been well-suited to the water conditions and
the existing fill has been replaced with more suitable non-clogging fill
materials as polypropylene or stainless steel splash-pack. In many cases it has
been possible to upgrade the performance of an existing tower by judicious
re-design of the internal components and fan system. Adjacent image shows our
injection moulded polypropylene splash pack and downward low pressure sprayer
in a conventional induced draught counter flow cooling tower.
IWC is the African leader in the refurbishment of Natural draught cooling
towers, having undertaken the vast majority of these projects in our region
over the past 18 years. We have also developed methods to do this work on-line
thereby reducing down time and production cuts that would normally be
associated with this type of project.
