ABSTRACT:
A system for thermal disposal and port improvement comprising an industrial plant constituting a source of hot cooling water which must be cooled located along a navigable river, lake or ocean, a body of water constituting a port in the vicinity of the industrial plant and in navigable communication with the river, lake or ocean, means for delivering hot cooling water from the industrial plant to the port water to cool the water throughout the year and to prevent it from freezing shut in winter, and means for removing cool cooling water from the port water and delivering it to the industrial plant and/or to a river, lake or ocean.
A method of cooling hot cooling water from an industrial plant, which comprises removing hot cooling water as an effluent stream from an industrial plant, directing the stream of hot cooling water to the top portion of a holding and cooling lake open to the atmosphere to effect reduction of the temperature of the hot cooling water by evaporation and conduction, and withdrawing cool cooling water from the bottom portion of the lake and sending it back to the industrial plant for cooling purposes and/or to a river, lake, or ocean.
