TP26-21 Stationary Vs. Traveling Screens in Cooling Towers BasinsDebris accumulation in cooling tower basins continues to pose operational and hydraulic challenges across industrial cooling applications. Even moderate debris loading can meaningfully influence pump suction conditions, net positive suction head (NPSH) margin, system reliability, and exposure of maintenance personnel. This paper proposes a practical, measurement driven framework for selecting between stationary (fixed) screens and traveling
