SPX ClearSky Plume Abatement System *J CREATING CLEARER VIEWS COOLING TECHNOLOGIES

Nothing Could Be Clearer Cooling tower systems have been around for decades; in fact, SPX Cooling Technologies has been synonymous with leading cooling tower technology since 1894. And while every SPX cooling system is designed for maximum performance, certain environmental conditions can lead to visible water vapor plumes — plumes that can affect visibility and safety as well as public perception, and potentially delay permits and jeopardize project timelines. For many, finding a cooling solution that provides exceptional performance and value while minimizing plume development has been...

A Break in the Clouds ClearSky Plume Abatement System Why is plume abatement important? Aesthetics / Neighbor Relations – Even though the cooling tower plume is made up of water vapor, a community may perceive it as unwanted or smoke-related. This may affect the use of nearby land or decrease property values. Safety – Community concerns regarding visibility can be removed by significantly reducing visible plume. Retrofit – The ClearSky Plume Abatement System can be added to existing cooling towers in many cases, making plume abatement even more economical. Permitting – Permitting can be a...
