Drift emissions from cooling towers are an often-overlooked source of air pollution, and with growing concerns about health and environmental impact, plants are increasingly focused on drift reduction and drift testing.

Cooling tower drift occurs when small droplets of circulating water are discharged into the air as particulate matter (PM). These particulates can contain harmful chemicals and bacteria, such as Legionella, which pose risks to respiratory health. In addition, drift can lead to water loss, corrosion of nearby equipment, and environmental damage over time.

At McHale & Associates, our highly trained CTI Drift Leads utilize a CTI-compliant Drift Test Kit to deliver precise and reliable results. Whether the test is for contractual obligations, a water loss reduction initiative, environmental air permitting, or LEED drift eliminator certification, we provide accurate testing services to ensure compliance and improve operational efficiency.

Ensure your cooling tower meets today’s stringent standards for drift reduction. Contact McHale today for expert drift testing and compliance solutions.

CTI STD-201 is a certification program by the Cooling Tower Institute (CTI) that verifies whether all models within a line of packaged cooling towers meet the published thermal performance ratings. To maintain CTI certification, manufacturers must undergo an initial Certification Test and complete re-certification testing annually.

The CTI STD-201 certification process can be challenging for manufacturers, making it crucial to partner with a reliable and experienced testing company. McHale & Associates specializes in STD-201 certification testing, guiding manufacturers through the entire process, from the initial certification to maintaining a fully CTI Certified line of cooling towers.

Ensure your cooling towers meet performance standards year after year with McHale’s expert certification testing services. Contact McHale today for seamless STD-201 certification support.

Cooling towers can be a major source of noise pollution, affecting both the surrounding community and potentially causing hearing loss for employees. To address this, McHale & Associates offers a specialized noise testing approach, utilizing CTI ATC-128 and other relevant noise standards. Our targeted testing helps identify the root causes of excessive noise and enables the development of effective physical, administrative, and engineering barriers to reduce the cooling tower’s noise footprint.
