One of my client has 10 x 250 RT cell cooling tower. Client wants to get rid of fast evaporatioin in cooling tower. does any one know how to control fast evaporation and save water for maintaining water level in basin.

Hello,
I am overseeing your answer which will be "not my specialty, thanks for sharing" but "evaporation-condensation-rain" is not also your specialty yet you have digested it well, I come to take away a stupidity of your head.
New discovery incredible to realize that we passed next for centuries, never heard
1- EVAPORATION
O + 2é-(called negative cloud).
The theory "evaporation-condensation-rain", has no author, do you realize? !
To be published

Hi,
Recently, I had a seminar in Tehran university discussing the same issue to the students. The presented solutions were as follows:
1. Reducing the number of heat exchangers as far as possible
2. Reducing the number and the size of surface condensers as far as possible
3. Using local chillers instead of water cooled heat exchanges
4. Using Thermoelectric cooling (TEC) based coolers instead of water cooled heat exchangers.
5. Making the best of use of steam coming out of the turbines instead of passing it directly to the surface condensers.
6. Using high efficiency water cooled heat exchangers
7. Relying on air coolers and closed circuit cooling towers
8. Re-designing the process to reduce the need for lowering the process fluid
9. Using fin-tubes to lower the process fluid's temperature in the inlet of the heat exchangers
10. Awarding the compressors and process units to the vendors having low cooling water demands.
11. Using the recycled water for the make-up water of the cooling tower
12. Applying an interlock for the cooling tower fans to switch them off when the returning cooling water is not hot
13. Using geothermal heat pumps (GSHP)
14. Improving mandatory industrial water consumption restrictive standards

Ground 'coolth' (the new word which is finding acceptance amongst engineers) is a very interesting source of renewable energy and this can replace cooling towers entirely. Contact me for details

Many trade-offs to consider.
Perhaps you might find this article useful as a primer:

Can we just pump water through a pipe up to a desirable height and spray as larger droplets and collect back at the ground level like rainwater harvesting. This will minimize the cost and space required.
