A global spirits company needed to replace a cooling tower at one of their distilleries in North America. The project included engineering services to complete a feasibility study for internal funding approval. First Key validated existing drawings and verified the current cooling tower water users, basic flow diagrams and determined the existing overall cooling load. Cooling load for future facility needs was also considered. Upon implementation, the new cooling tower location was moved across the facility to a location above a new structure. Cooling water return to the central tank by gravity was no longer an option, so First Key worked with other project stakeholders to develop and manage installation of a system for balancing the system using pumps and controls.
