How do power plants deal with hard water in their cooling towers?
I loie somewhere with very hard water. There’s a small power plant nearby with a couple cooling towers and this morning my shower thought was I can’t imagine how they are dealing with scale. Is the tower just set up such that it can tolerate scale? Do they regularly de-scale? Do they likely have water softening? Obviously, I don’t expect anyone to know exactly how the place near me works, but I’m curious how systems like this are managed.
