Sulzer Cooling Tower Drift Eliminator and Fill Pack Replacement
We recently completed a repair on a Sulzer Cooling Tower, replacing the existing Drift Eliminators and Fill Pack that had reached the end of their service life. The new Brentwood components were installed to improve heat transfer efficiency, reduce water loss through drift, and restore overall Cooling Tower performance.
By upgrading these critical internal components, the Cooling Tower is now operating more efficiently and reliably, helping to extend the life of the asset and support ongoing plant performance.
Fill Pack Replacement – CF1200 Polypropylene
Scope of Works
- Removal and disposal of damaged fill pack
- High-pressure cleaning of internal tower casing
- Supply and installation of new Brentwood Fill Pack
- Final inspection and performance verification
Benefits of Installing New Fill Pack
- Restored Heat Exchange Efficiency – Clean, structurally sound media maximises thermal performance.
- Reduced Energy Consumption – Improved heat transfer lowers system load and fan energy usage.
- Improved Water Distribution – Ensures uniform coverage across the fill surface.
- Extended Operational Lifespan – Modern fill designs deliver enhanced durability and long-term performance.
Drift Eliminator Replacement – TEP130 Polypropylene
Scope of Works
- Removal of damaged and ineffective drift eliminators
- Supply and installation of new Brentwood Drift Eliminators
- Full quality assurance inspection and airflow performance validation
Benefits of Replacing Drift Eliminators
- Significant Reduction in Water Loss – Minimises drift carryover, reducing water wastage and chemical loss.
- Improved Environmental Compliance – Limits airborne water droplets, reducing surrounding property impact.
- Enhanced System Efficiency – Proper droplet separation improves overall cooling performance.
- Reduced Risk of Legionella Spread – Effective drift control helps mitigate airborne contamination risks.
- Lower Operating Costs – Decreased water, chemical, and treatment expenditure.
