Case Study: Increased Water Treatment Capacity At A Mexican Power Plant
By Michael Sheedy, Rusi Kapadia, Eco-Tec Inc.
Recovery of wastewater for industrial use presents many challenges for the design and operation of water treatment equipment. Wastewater has high levels of dissolved solids, higher metals content than in natural water sources and potentially high levels of organic matter, both natural and man-made. The water treatment system discussed was fed with secondary water used in the production of boiler water makeup water. This is a gas-fired combined cycle plant with a generating capacity of 600 MW and has been in operation since 2002. The plant obtains its water from municipal primary treatment lagoons/settling ponds. The main source of water entering the lagoons is municipal sewage.
