The lack of water resources all around the world gives a view to us to conserve the water in a better manner. In thermal power plants, plume/ water vapour (Hot air with water vapour normally called as plume) released by evaporation in cooling towers which is left to atmosphere as a waste. This wasted water vapour is being collected and condensed to get fresh water by a condenser. This fresh water is used for several applications of that power plant itself. A few researches have been carried out for analysis of cooling tower to utilize the waste plume. In addition to the operational and physical parameters with appropriate material selection, a condenser has been designed to get fresh water from plume based on available typical data of existing counter flow wet cooling tower of thermal power plant. The stainless steel material was selected for condenser tubes in order to avoid corrosion. Fresh water collected by condensing the water vapour will be used for that power plant water supply needs and nearby villages. © 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
