83-14: Integrated Wet/Dry Cooling and Plume Abatement With The Binary CoolingState of the art wet dry plume abatement cooling towers are often considered, but seldom purchased primarily because of high overall costs. The BCT, with it unique operating flexibility, can be configured as a plume abatement cooling tower with zero feasible plumes under all operating conditions. This paper reviews the wet dry operations of the BCT.
