Cooling Towers
Induced-draft cooling towers engineered for Gulf wet-bulb conditions, with fabrication, installation, and fill replacement support from Abu Dhabi.

The Anatomy of a
Cooling Tower
Fan & Stack
The induced-draft fan on the deck that pulls warm saturated air up through the tower and out through the stack.

Built to
Solve
Engineered against the specific failures that cost operators downtime, contamination or wasted energy.
Asset protection
A tower that misses its design cold-water temperature pushes every downstream exchanger and condenser off duty. Fill selection and water-quality mismatches show up as scale, biofilm and structural rot years before a rebuild is budgeted for.
Process integrity
Cooling water temperature sets the ceiling on every process and utility exchanger fed from the loop. A tower undersized for the region's peak wet-bulb temperature caps plant capacity on the hottest days of the year — exactly when demand is highest.
Operational efficiency
Poor air/water distribution wastes fan power for the same cooling duty. In-region fill and drift eliminator stock turns a fouled cell around in days instead of the months an imported rebuild takes.
Why Dolphin Group for
Cooling Towers
ADNOC-approved, Local+ Certified
Qualified to the procurement standards ADNOC group companies require, with in-country value that scores directly on operator and EPC tenders.
Regional thermal design expertise
Four decades of sizing cooling water systems against the Gulf's wet-bulb extremes, not imported design assumptions that undersize the tower.
Rapid cell turnaround
Standing fill, eliminator and mechanical spares stock in Mussafah keeps a fouled or damaged cell down for days, not the months an overseas rebuild takes.
Key
Benefits
What sets cooling towers from Dolphin Group apart, in specific and measurable terms.
- 1
Sized for Gulf wet-bulb extremes
Thermal design against regional peak wet-bulb data, not a generic climate assumption, so the tower holds duty on the hottest day of the year.
- 2
Standing fill and eliminator stock
Local stock of film fill and drift eliminators cuts a fouled-cell turnaround from months to days.
- 3
FRP and galvanised options
Casing and structure matched to the makeup water chemistry and site environment for maximum service life.
- 4
In-house rebuild capability
Full cell rebuilds — fill, distribution, eliminators, fan — executed without importing a complete new tower.
- 5
Reduced drift losses
High-efficiency eliminators cut water and chemical loss to atmosphere, reducing make-up cost and environmental impact.
- 6
Documented thermal performance
Guaranteed approach and range backed by thermal design calculations, not a nameplate estimate.

Design and Manufacturing
Thermal design against site-specific wet-bulb data through fabrication and installation, using FRP or galvanised steel matched to the makeup water chemistry.
Refurbishment
Full cell rebuilds — fill, distribution, eliminators and fan — engineered into an existing structure at a fraction of full replacement cost.
Servicing
Fill and eliminator inspection, cleaning and thermal performance verification that confirm the tower still holds its design approach and range.
Long Term Contracts
Scheduled fill and eliminator turnaround programmes, backed by standing local stock, that keep a fouled cell down for days rather than months.

View SectorFrequently Asked Questions
From single-cell package towers to multi-cell field-erected structures sized for major power and process cooling water duties.
Yes. Fill, distribution, drift eliminators and mechanical components are re-engineered into the existing structure where the casing and structure remain sound.
Thermal design uses site-specific design wet-bulb temperature data — a generic or imported climate assumption will undersize the tower for Gulf summer extremes.
Splash fill or wider-flute film fill resists fouling better than fine-channel film fill where makeup water carries higher suspended solids.
Both — FRP pultruded structures for maximum corrosion life, or hot-dip galvanised steel where capital cost is the priority.
Yes. High-efficiency drift eliminators and low-noise fan options are available where site proximity requires it.
Yes. Dolphin Group is ADNOC-approved and Local+ Certified — one of roughly 70 Local+ Certified companies in the UAE.
