Hollow Plastic Ball Covers for Power-Plant Cooling Ponds
The challenge
- Evaporative makeup-water demand
- Algae in warm open basins
- Wide temperature swings
- Need for periodic equipment access
How Armor Ball® helps
Armor Ball® reduces evaporative makeup-water demand and blocks UV to control algae on cooling ponds, holding up across a −70°F to +160°F operating range. When equipment needs access, the balls push aside and then re-cover the surface automatically.
Outcomes
Lower evaporative makeup-water demand
Chemical-free algae control
Wide operating-temperature tolerance
Equipment access without removing the cover
FAQ
Power-Plant Cooling Ponds — questions answered
Can equipment still access a pond covered with balls?
Yes. The balls are free-floating, so equipment and intakes can push them aside as needed; the cover then re-arranges itself back to a 91% layer automatically.
