la tour de refroidissement distillant ainsi une eau rendue propre


Explanation:
"la tour de refroidissement distillant ainsi une eau (rendue) propre"ou don't need "rendue" but it's appropriate if the process is cleansing the condensated water.

or:
"la tour de refroidissement faisant également office de filtrage des eaux et rendant ainsi une eau propre"

it's a bit long a tailor-made sentence seemed necessary, as the cooling tower is not really a water treatment plant-as far as I understand the text- rather it seems the water condensing feature of the cooling tower has a side-advantage.

This process is very close to distilling water (boiling in one pot and leading the steam through tube to condensate on the walls of another pot with a colder temperature).

So I suggest to use the verb "distillant" implying the functionality of the cooling water is separating two types of water (the cooliong water I suppose and the other cleansed water)
