Hot oil refineries and other industrial facilities can present hazards for process cooling equipment and personnel, creating hazardous working conditions. Evaporative coolers have dry-mist technology to cool down the work environment while keeping work spaces dry.

A Russian refinery is reportedly the world’s largest industrial facility using membrane bioreactor (MBR) and electrodialysis reversal (EDR) technologies. Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim’s biological treatment plant, located in Ufa, will treat up to 84 million liters of wastewater per day.

Heavy industrial applications such as manufacturing, chemical processing and oil-and-gas refining use cooling towers and other equipment to cool the water integral to their operations.
