Stormwater can be used in cooling towers, provided it is properly filtered and treated to remove contaminants. Cooling towers often require large volumes of water for heat exchange, and stormwater can serve as a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to potable water. Since cooling tower water typically does not need to meet drinking water standards, stormwater can be suitable for this purpose after basic treatment.
Filtration systems may be used to prevent blockages or damage to equipment, and in some cases, additional disinfection or chemical treatment may be necessary. Using stormwater in cooling towers helps reduce the demand on municipal water supplies, lowers operational costs, and supports water conservation efforts. However, it is important to ensure that the stormwater is managed properly to avoid issues such as clogging or contamination.
