SNOKE SPECIAL PRODUCTS Cooling Tower in Jacksonville, Texas

SNOKE SPECIAL PRODUCTS is a cooling tower facility located at 2050 N JACKSON ST in Jacksonville, Cherokee County, Texas, United States. The plant is operational and classified under NAICS code 333415, which covers air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing. As a cooling tower, it provides essential heat rejection for industrial processes, likely serving the manufacturing operations on site. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks, including the Clean Air Act and EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, which governs refrigerant use. Cooling towers in the U.S. are subject to ASHRAE 15 safety standards for refrigeration systems. Typical cooling towers in industrial settings range from small packaged units to large field-erected systems with capacities up to thousands of tons. Cooling towers play a critical role in industrial heat management, improving operational efficiency and reducing thermal pollution. In Texas, where high ambient temperatures can challenge cooling systems, efficient tower operation is vital. The facility's location in Jacksonville supports the local industrial base, contributing to the region's manufacturing and economic activity.

Cooling towers can have environmental impacts related to water consumption and chemical treatment. Evaporative cooling towers consume significant water, which is a concern in water-scarce regions like Texas. Additionally, the use of biocides and corrosion inhibitors requires careful management to prevent water pollution. The facility's refrigerant use, if any, would be subject to GWP regulations under the Kigali Amendment and EPA SNAP rules.
