Frequently Asked Questions

Power and utilities account for around 35% to 40% of industrial cooling water demand, followed by chemical and petrochemical applications at about 25% to 30%. Manufacturing and data centers represent around 15% to 20%, while food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications account for approximately 10% to 15%. These figures are indicative estimates.
Cooling water is circulated through a cooling tower, where hot process water flows over fill media. Heat is removed through evaporation as air passes through the tower. The cooled water is then collected and pumped back into the industrial process for reuse.
The main input is water from fresh, recycled, or treated sources. Water itself generally represents a relatively small share of total cooling-system operating costs, typically around 5% to 15%, while electricity for pumps and fans and water-treatment chemicals account for a larger share.
Capital costs mainly depend on cooling tower size, fill media, fans, pumps, piping, and water-treatment systems. During operation, electricity for pumps and fans is a major cost, while water, treatment chemicals, maintenance, and replacement of equipment also affect total costs.
Asia Pacific is estimated to account for around 40% to 45% of global industrial cooling water demand, supported by industrial and power-sector expansion. North America represents about 25% to 30%, while Europe accounts for roughly 20% to 25%. These figures are indicative regional estimates.
Cooling water systems must comply with regulations covering water withdrawal, wastewater discharge, chemical handling, and pollution control. Plants may also need permits and monitoring systems for water use, discharge quality, and cooling-system chemicals.
