Improve Your Cooling Tower Efficiency
Our proprietary and patented technology installs quickly with minimal downtime. With no moving parts, it requires virtually no maintenance and may reduce operating expenses.
Aqua Liquefaction with Ionization (ALI) is a leading patented technology for cooling towers- ALI uses specially designed ductwork over cooling towers to capture evaporating water
- Without using heat or chemicals under normal cooling tower operations, ALI condenses and recovers evaporating water and reduces the concentration of solid and liquid impurities
Features
The Benefits of ALI
Recover a significant amount of water loss.
Under normal cooling tower operations, ALI captures and recovers evaporative water which may save in operating expenses.
Reduce chemical treatments.
ALI reduces the need for expensive chemicals to treat water impurities and bacteria by recovering and recycling water.
Reduce blow down.
Recycling clean, evaporated water reduces sewage discharge and wastewater disposal.
Eliminate plume rise.
ALI contains and redirects the plume, which can spread bacteria and diseases into the atmosphere.
The Science
How It Works
Step One
The Conventional Process
Traditional cooling tower systems use water to extract waste heat and eject it into the atmosphere. In these towers, humid air carries warm water vapor out of each tower. Many cooling towers also utilize a sump, or basin, that collects water and impurities that, over time, lead to corrosion and bacteria growth. Many cooling tower systems control these issues by adding more water and chemicals.
Step Two
Splitting
ALI’s technology adds a patent-pending duct system above the existing cooling tower that condenses and recovers evaporating water. The duct system splits and straightens the airflow using psychrometrics.
Step Three
Coalesce and Condense
The duct system's airflow is then directed to an ionization and cloud chamber, where a carefully controlled electric field causes the water molecules to coalesce and condense into larger droplets.
Step Four
Return and Exhaust
The condensed, clean water is returned to the basin, and the remaining air exits through the exhaust. The recovered and recycled water is now available for reuse in the water cooling system—or as a source of clean water for other industrial purposes.
