Overview
Quality Steel Corp of MS operates a cooling tower in West Jordan, Utah, serving industrial metal fabrication and HVAC equipment manufacturing sectors under ASHRAE 15 safety standards.
Quality Steel Corp of MS operates a cooling tower facility located at 5601 Axel Park Road in West Jordan, Salt Lake County, Utah. The facility supports industrial processes for NAICS codes 332313 (plate work manufacturing), 332410 (power boiler and heat exchanger manufacturing), 332420 (metal tank manufacturing), and 333415 (air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment manufacturing). As a cooling tower, it provides heat rejection for these operations, typical of medium-scale industrial facilities in the region. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks including ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and the EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) for refrigerant management. Cooling towers in Utah's arid climate often use air-cooled or hybrid systems to minimize water consumption, though evaporative towers remain common for process cooling. The plant's operational status is active, serving the industrial corridor of West Jordan. Cooling towers play a critical role in maintaining process efficiency and equipment longevity in metal fabrication and HVAC manufacturing. The facility's location in Salt Lake County places it within a region with growing industrial activity, where efficient cooling infrastructure supports local economic output and energy management. Compliance with refrigerant phase-down schedules under the Kigali Amendment further underscores the facility's environmental context.
Environmental context
Cooling towers in Utah's semi-arid climate face water conservation challenges, often balancing evaporative cooling efficiency with water use. Refrigerant management under the Kigali Amendment and EPA SNAP rules drives adoption of lower-GWP alternatives. The facility's industrial processes may involve high heat loads, making operational efficiency (COP) and leak detection critical for reducing environmental impact.
Frequently asked questions
The cooling tower is located at 5601 Axel Park Road, West Jordan, Salt Lake County, Utah, United States.
The cooling tower supports NAICS codes 332313 (plate work), 332410 (power boiler and heat exchanger manufacturing), 332420 (metal tank manufacturing), and 333415 (air-conditioning and heating equipment manufacturing).
Cooling towers in the U.S. must comply with ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety, as well as EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act for refrigerant management.
The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol mandates phasedown of high-GWP HFC refrigerants, encouraging cooling towers to adopt low-GWP alternatives and improve leak detection.
In Utah's arid climate, cooling towers often use air-cooled or hybrid systems, or implement water treatment and recycling to reduce consumption, while evaporative towers optimize cycles of concentration.
