Use As A Flue-gas Stack
At some modern power stations equipped with flue gas purification, such as the Power Station Staudinger Grosskrotzenburg and the Power Station Rostock, the cooling tower is also used as a flue-gas stack (industrial chimney), thus saving the cost of a separate chimney structure. At plants without flue gas purification, problems with corrosion may occur, due to reactions of raw flue gas with water to form acids.

““Farewell to barn and stack and tree,
Farewell to Severn shore.
Terence, look your last at me,
For I come home no more.”
