Our first salt water cooling tower went into service in our New Jersey plant in August 1968 using makeup from the Arthur Kill. The water is brackish at about 12,000 ppm salt but at 2 cycles of concentration, the recirculated water is fairly close to the salinity of sea water. Additional details on early operation and service factors have been reported previously by D.M. Nester1.
