Summary:A system is described in which a cooling tower is operated with a solution of a non-volatile organic molecule osmolyte and water. Makeup water for the tower is provided by forward osmosis using the fluid as the draw solution for the extraction of water from feeds which require dewatering or from low value available water. La présente invention concerne un système dans lequel une tour de refroidissement fonctionne avec une solution d'un osmolyte de molécule organique non volatile et de l'eau. De l'eau d'appoint pour la tour est fournie par osmose directe en utilisant le fluide en tant que solution d'extraction pour l'extraction d'eau à partir de sources d'alimentation qui nécessitent une déshumidification ou à partir d'eau de faible valeur disponible.
