Case Study: AES Hawaii (1999)

This fiberglass cooling tower, built in 1999, was a replacement for a wood tower installed in 1991 that had deteriorated due to the harsh circulating water and atmospheric conditions. Located on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, this 200 MW coal fired power plant provides 16% of power for the island.

As the plant provides a large portion of the island's power, completing this project on time was critical. The existing tower was torn down and successfully replaced by GEA during a three-week outage.

This 5-cell Cooling Tower meets or exceeds the following requirements:

Design Duty:
- 104,000 gpm
- 110.1ºF hot water
- 89.7ºF cold water
- 78.0ºF inlet wet bulb
Complete teardown and rebuild of an existing tower during a three-week outage
Designed for salt water service, both in the circulating water and atmosphere.
