Cooling Tower Maintenance

• BMC Software, Houston, Texas
• 24/7 operation
• Expected tower life 20 years ()
• Actual tower life - 9 years (1994 to 2003)

The poorly maintained tower was running at only
50 efficiency, causing BMC to spend an extra
10,000 per year on electricity an extra 3,000
per year on chemicals.
This represents 697,000 replacement cost 11
years early. ()
