CT Blowdown Philosophy

The document describes a water treatment process where cooling water (CW) is evaporated and makeup water (MU) is added. It calculates the total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration of the CW under different flow rates of evaporation, CW intake, blowdown, and MU to maintain a TDS of 400 ppm or reduce it to 390 ppm. It determines that using a blowdown flow rate of 11 L/s would reduce the TDS to 390 ppm, while a blowdown of 86 L/s would maintain 400 ppm TDS.
