Abstract
This is a review paper that deals with the sustainability aspects for the future. It is a concern to understand how to improve outdated cooling towers to ensure the best results and competitiveness to the companies. That is an issue based on the current world situation that presses the corporations regarding the environmental conditions. The progress must be keep going without damage the environment as happened on the last industrial revolutions. Using automated control system and experimental results compared to computational aid software, it was demonstrated that great energy savings can be achieved based on the adapt of current operational conditions and schemes or with acquisition of substantial market solutions. Automation is not the only opportunity, but there are mechanical fillings and nozzles designed that can improve cooling tower effectiveness and can be used to replace outdated equipment or be used on new systems development.
