Cooling towers with plume abatement, also called hybrid or wet/dry, are evaporative cooling towers combined with a dry heat exchanger, used to abate the cooling tower plume. This is the best available solution where local constraints are such that the presence of plume is not accepted in normal conditions (along motorways, airports, close to residential areas).
John Cockerill Hamon has an unrivaled reference list for this kind of cooling towers.
Plume abatement can be offered with mechanical draft cooling tower (cells) as well as with fan assisted natural draft (circular hybrid).
