1.1.1 The contractor shall furnish and install an Electronic Water Treatment and Filtration System as shown and detailed on the contract documents. The units shall be installed in accordance with this specification Section, and perform at the conditions as listed.

1.1.2 Approved Manufacturers: Griswold Filtration

1.2 ELECTRONIC WATER TREATMENT AND CLEANING SYSTEMS FOR COOLING TOWERS

1.2.1 Furnish and install an Electronic water treatment and filtration system such as the Griswold Filtration Tower Sentry System. The system shall be used on condenser water, cooling tower recirculation systems and closed loop systems as specified herein. Devices that inject chemicals, use electrodes in the water, magnets, UV light, ozone, copper or silver ions, will not be accepted. The Electronic water treatment and filtration system shall be properly sized by the manufacturer to provide for complete control of Scale, Bacteria and Corrosion and the removal of precipitated debris without the use of any additional chemicals or biocides.

1.2.2 System Description and Operation:

1.2.2.1 For Condenser water, and cooling tower recirculation systems, the Tower Sentry System shall consist of an SBC and a skid mounted self-contained side stream filtration system with sweeper piping. For Closed Loop systems, the Tower Sentry System shall consist of an SBC and a skid mounted self-contained side stream filtration system. The SBC can either be installed full flow or installed on the self-contained side stream separator skid. The SBC is a solid-state, microprocessor-based water treatment system consisting of a Reaction Chamber in the form of a spool piece connected by an umbilical cable to the Driver/Controller. The Driver shall impart a complex modulated electric signal to the water flowing through the Reaction Chamber. This complex signal shall be imparted to the water by a series of solenoid coils. No electrodes that contact the water shall be acceptable.

1.2.2.2 The SBC will change calcium carbonate precipitate formation from surface nucleation (scale) to colloidal nucleation (bulk-solution powder).

1.2.2.3 The skid mounted self-contained side stream filtration system will remove debris via separation and keep the system free from new mineral scale on the fill material, pipes, heat exchangers, valves and other components in the system.

1.2.2.4 The SBC will control the population of microorganisms such as bacteria, and protozoa by incorporation into colloidal precipitates (encapsulation) or damaging via induced electric fields.

1.2.2.5 The Tower Sentry System may permit operation at lower blow down quantity resulting in water and energy savings. Note: Because the SBC operates by forming a powder precipitate, Cycles of Concentration cannot be measured accurately by use of conductivity measurements. The measurement of chloride in the water will give an accurate indication of Cycles of Concentration.

1.2.2.6 Blow down contains no added chemicals, aiding conformance to discharge regulations and provide for a “Green Technology”. The Tower Sentry System qualifies for “LEEDS” points under the innovative technology category.

1.2.2.7 A centrifugal vortex style, solids from liquid separator, shall be employed to remove particles from the fluid stream. Separator inlet must be capable of passing a solid sphere of size equal to 25% of the connection pipe size.

1.2.2.8 The separator’s head shall be stationary/non-removable with air vent for removing trapped air. (Standard on 2” and larger)

1.2.2.9 The separator shall have access, inspection port, to the separation chamber, for removing trapped solids.

1.2.2.10 Separator design does not require removable top for internal inspection. There are no movable parts or slots requiring maintenance.

1.2.2.11 Fluid shall enter the separator at a right angle to and tangent to the separator body.

1.2.2.12 The fluid velocity shall be caused to increase by the ‘velocity plate’, internal to the unit [Standard on .75” separator and larger]. Any device used to increase internal velocity shall pass a sphere equal to 25% of the diameter of the inlet nozzle.

1.2.2.13 The velocity increased fluid shall travel circumferentially downwards on the separators body, creating a cleaner central vortex, causing contaminates to rotate near the wall of the vessel, due to the centrifugal force exerted to the fluid stream.

Spin arrestor plates shall be installed under the bottom spin plate to allow settling of the solids and prevent solids to move upwards.

1.2.2.14 On 3” separators and larger, a top-spin-plate shall be installed at the center of the bottom spin plate to shorten the travel of the vortex. Additionally, the stream is further guided and directed by the path created by the spiral ring located at the bottom edge of the discharge nozzle. It is the outer edge of this ring that maintains the velocity and circular path of the solids down to the midsection of the separator body.

1.2.2.15 Cleansed fluid shall exit upward via the created vortex.

A second stage of centrifugal separation starts at the entry to the discharge nozzle, where a choke ring impedes the encircling smaller solids. A venturi effect is created in the two opposite nozzles angled toward the direction of the flow, drawing the solids to the low pressure side of the discharge nozzle, releasing them back into the main stream.

1.2.2.16 On 1.25” separators and larger, dual collection vanes at opposite direction shall be installed on top of the bottom spin plate at 60 degree angle facing the rotating fluid, to stop solids from rotating, and allow the solids to be immediately trapped and directed to the collection chamber.

1.2.3 SEPARATOR PERFORMANCE.

1.2.3.1 Separator design shall be of the low-pressure drop type.

1.2.3.2 In a single pass, given solids with a specific gravity of 2.6, performance is predicted to be 98% of 40 microns and larger. Further, particles finer in size with both heaver and lighter specific gravities will also be removed, resulting in the additional removal of a significant amount of particles, as small as 5 micron.

1.2.3.3 The separator shall be capable of removing solids up to 3% content by weight, in a single pass.

1.2.4 System Water Parameters:

1.2.4.1 Chemical analysis of the makeup water will be provided to factory to assist in the determination of the proper operation of the water treatment system.

1.2.4.2 Unless otherwise specified the units for the water analysis shall be in ppm or mg/L. The required parameters are as follows:

a. pH (measured on site in pH units)

b. Conductivity in (S

c. Calcium Hardness (ppm CaCO3)

d. Total Hardness (ppm CaCO3)

e. P-Alkalinity (ppm CaCO3)

f. m-Alkalinity (ppm CaCO3)

g. Chloride

h. Sulfate

i. Phosphate

j. Iron

k. Silica

1.2.4.3 Based upon actual make-up water quality, the Vendor will specify the recommended conductivity setting of the automatic blow-down system. The setting will be advantageous for scale inhibition and corrosion inhibition while possibly saving water and sewage cost, but may have to be adjusted to achieve the desired pH level.

1.2.4.4 Local environmental regulations may dictate the highest pH permitted for blow down. Cooling tower operator can raise or lower pH by the balancing of fresh make-up water and the amount of blow down.
