TP26-15 Field Erected Stainless Steel Towers Microbiological Activity in Cooling Systems

TP26-15 Field Erected Stainless Steel Towers Microbiological Activity in Cooling SystemsCooling towers rely on a robust open frame structure to support various internal systems and withstand a harsh operating environment. The use of pultruded fiberglass profiles has been prevalent for over 40 years as an improvement over wooden structures and has become the status quo for most field erected towers. While FRP meets many requirements it is not the only material choice that should be considered. The use of hollow profile square rectangular
