23-07: Carbon Footprint Influencing Factor Analysis of Polypropylene Filled Based on Literature Data Fire Protection

23-07: Carbon Footprint Influencing Factor Analysis of Polypropylene Filled Based on Literature Data Fire ProtectionThe Global Warming Potential or the Carbon Footprint is getting more and more into the focus of our daily lives. It is therefore important to understand the influencing factors on a specific product and what can be done to reduce the footprint. Based on literature data in this paper this kind of analysis is done for cooling tower fill (foils or grids) made from Polypropylene.

Means & Methods have been developed to repair

" and PTC-23

Comparisons have been conducted versus both bench tests

safety and the biodegradability/toxicity of industrial water discharges

more now than ever before

Case studies will be presented based on experience with actual fill replacements in crossflow and counterflow towers

including a standard method of data interpretation and propose a task group be established within the standing Performance and Technology Committee to begin the process of producing a counterflow fill thermal test standard

Cooling tower failure can cost an industrial plant thousands of dollars in lost production in a matter of hours

longer life

with the remaining principal research objective being a cost effective optimum performance level
