Challenge

A petrochemical plant has wooden fanstacks that was supplied by original cooling tower vendor. These were inadequate in size, shape and efficiency.

Solution

Armatec designed and manufactured high efficiency fanstacks in fibreglass to replace the existing setup. They were assembled on the ground at site, and craned into position in order to minimise plant downtime.

Outcome

The smooth internal surface gave much improved aerodynamics and improved the overall cooling tower efficiency.
