Cooling Sprays, Proserpine Sugar Mill

A spray pond is a reservoir in which warmed water (e.g. from a power plant) is cooled before reuse by spraying the warm water with nozzles into the cooler air. (Wikipedia) The Proserpine Mill in the region of Mackay, was established in 1897 and led to the development of the town of Proserpine. The mill was owned by a grower cooperative from 1931 until 2011 when it was purchased by Wilmar Sugar Australia. The mill currently crushes an average of 1.7 million tonnes of sugarcane a year, to manufacture about 240,000 tonnes of sugar. (https://www.wilmarsugar-anz.com/what-we-do/mills)
