Abstract
Industrial waste water treatment is the process of removing pollutants from
water using a combination of chemical, biological and physical methods. This
paper describes an alternative method for controlling the total dissolved solids,
Hardness, scaling and bacteria growth in a cooling tower by “aeration method”
Many water treatment technologies have been in use since long. Out of these a
new technology cavitation has proved to be useful on large scale operations in
industry. Cavitation is a physical phenomenon associated with three aspects:
formation, growth and collapse of vapor or gas-vapor bubbles within the body
of a liquid due to variations of local static pressure. Decreasing the pressure
over a liquid and bringing it to its vapor pressure at the operating temperature
generates vapor bubbles in the liquid. When the pressure is brought back to
normal pressure, these vaporous bubbles collapse with a bang to generate
intense pressure and temperature at the point of collapse. Such intense
