TP22-13: Plume Abatement and Water Savings in Cooling TowersIndustrial cooling towers are one of the largest sources of freshwater consumption in theUS. As towers discharge water vapor, additional make up water is needed to replaceevaporation and blowdown losses. The discharged water vapor also partly condenses andforms visible plumes that can pose safety, reliability, and public relations issues. In this work, we demonstrate a novel plume capture technology that uses electric fields tocollect the water
