Plume Abatement and

Water Conservation Solutions

Let’s Clear the Air…

For decades, cooling towers’ cold-weather condensation plumes have

been a major problem. At best, they’re unsightly; at worst, they impair

visibility and waste water. Which make them a particular worry around

airports and other environmentally sensitive areas.

At SPX Cooling Technologies, we’ve made it our mission to eradicate

as much of the plume as possible – while conserving significant

amounts of water along the way.

And we’ve succeeded.

Two Ways to Tame the Plume

For years, SPX’s coil-based hybrid cooling towers have

been a highly popular choice. Now, our NCWD tower

represents our most advanced application of this

technology. SPX’s hybrid technology adds a heated

dry air stream to our coil system, keeping the plume

undersaturated, even upon mixture with the ambient air.

Therefore, visible plume is practically eliminated.

Another option is our new Air2Air™ technology, which

comes at plume abatement from a slightly different, but

similarly effective, angle. Air2Air uses heat exchanger

packs to radically reduce condensation and keep the

plume in check.

Both solutions can also conserve substantial amounts

of water. And no matter which solution you choose,

you’ll be helping to make “plume history” – by helping

to make the plume, well... history.
