They are structures designed to provide cooling water to industrial facilities of various purposes and sizes. It can be of different sizes; there are towers reaching a diameter of 100 meters and a height of 120 meters. It is used to remove the heat taken by the cooling water circulating in the system from the cooling water in industrial cooling towers, natural gas processing plants, petrochemical plants, oil refineries, power plants, and other industrial facilities. The cooling water circulation rate in a 700 MW coal power plant is approximately 71,600 m³ per hour and about 5 percent of the circulating water is lost by evaporation (this amount needs to be added). If the same facility did not have a cooling tower and used single-pass cooling water instead of using the water that was cooled and circulated in the system again, it would need around 100,000 m³ of water per hour and this water would be met from the ocean, lake or river and be flowed back there. However, it is not acceptable to introduce such a large amount of hot water to regional ecosystems such as lakes or rivers. The cooling tower gives the waste heat from the water to the atmosphere and spreads the heat distribution to a wide area with wind and air diffusion. Some coal and nuclear power plants are built in coastal areas and use single-pass ocean water. However, in order for such facilities not to create environmental risks, the water outlet must be far from the shore and the design must be performed very carefully.
