Summary

Cooling towers across power plants, manufacturing facilities, data centers, and campuses are often operating below their true potential. They aren’t broken—but performance degradation, hidden inefficiencies, and missed optimization opportunities quietly lower production and increase energy use, water consumption, operating costs, and emissions.

In this webinar, Bob DeBorde, Technical Manager at LyondellBasell, will explain why in his experience cooling systems underperform, what happens when they do, and where he believes that facilities can unlock measurable gains through better visibility and earlier intervention.

Karim Khalil, Co-Founder & CTO at Infinite Cooling, will then share how data-driven performance analytics can transform cooling towers from background infrastructure into performance-critical assets. He will also explain how Infinite Cooling solutions are reducing energy and water waste while improving operational efficiency and increasing production for industrial organizations.

This session will conclude with a live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to talk directly with the cooling tower experts and explore practical next steps.
