The Water and Stormwater SWATeam submitted a recommendation to the iWG stating,

"We recommend that a small tonnage (< 700 tons cooling capacity) stand-alone cooling tower on campus operating at a water concentration cycle of less than 2.5 be operated using softened water under high pH/high silica conditions to demonstrate near zero blowdown operation."

See attached the SWATeam recommendation, Water002 Cooling Tower Increase COC, complete with comments from all the Water and Stormwater SWATeam members.
