A wastewater evaporative separation system can include an evaporation panel assembly having a plurality of individual evaporation panels laterally and releasably joined together, the evaporation panel assembly configured for receiving wastewater from a body of wastewater and evaporating water therefrom as the wastewater cascades down the evaporation panel assembly and contaminants become more concentrated. The system also includes a wastewater delivery system fluidly associated with the body of wastewater with a fluid directing assembly delivering the wastewater from the body of wastewater to an upper portion of the evaporation panel assembly.

The present disclosure evaporation panel systems including plurality of evaporation panels, wherein a first evaporation panel and a second evaporation panel of the plurality of evaporation panels each include evaporation shelves and support columns to support and separate to the evaporation shelves. At least a portion of the support columns include evaporation fins so that wastewater is loadable along the support column. The first evaporation panel and the second evaporation panel in this example are releasably connectable to one another to form a sub-assembly.

A single inlet/single outlet modular counterflow cooling tower having two heat transfer sections installed atop two cold water basin sections and below three fan sections, each heat transfer section having its own water distribution system and draining into its own distinct cold water basin section. The water distribution system can provide flow over both heat transfer sections or over only a single section. The center fan support section supports the mechanical drive system for the fan and has a sealing plate at its bottom for sealing the gap between the two heat transfer sections.

A system and method for installing a water diversion system to a cooling tower flume and distribution basin to dam a section of the basin includes installing first and second basin dams extending radially from respective first and second parapets of the flume wall to the basin wall in sealing contact with a basin floor, blocking water from flowing from the undammed section of the basin into the dammed section using the basin dams, and installing a flume dam to each notch of one or more notches distributed peripherally along the flume wall between the first and second parapets, blocking water from flowing from the flume into the distribution basin through the one or more notches using the flume dam, and such that the flume dams installed to the one or more notches in combination with the first and second basin dams define a dammed section of the basin.

A water redistribution system for adiabatically pre-cooled dry coolers having stacked adiabatic panels, the water redistribution system located between upper and lower adiabatic panels and having a plurality of alternating baffles arranged to reduce water free-fall height and resultant splashing. Upwardly turned flanges at the top of each baffle inhibit the travel of water out of the interior water channel.
