Power plants typically use evaporative cooling, where a portion of the water is evaporated to cool the remaining water.

Key Points: 
  • Power plants typically use evaporative cooling, where a portion of the water is evaporated to cool the remaining water.
  • The system's remaining water becomes more concentrated in salts and pollutants, which needs to be treated at an additional cost.
  • By recapturing water vapor plumes and making cooling towers more of a closed system, Infinite Cooling's technology could decrease power plant water consumption by as much as 30 percent.
  • Since its debut in 1990 as the MIT $10K Entrepreneurship Competition, it has grown to include three independent contests Pitch, Accelerate, and Launch from September through May.
