Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

1. HOD™ UV Delivering Pure Performance In Power, Energy & Heavy Industry 3/27/2025

   Chemical-Free Water Treatment Solutions, particularly the HOD™ UV system, represent a significant advancement in water purification technologies for power, energy, and heavy industries. This system eliminates the need for chemical agents, ensuring a cleaner and safer water treatment process.

2. If Israel Can Find Common Ground Around The Environment, Why Can't Texas? 1/12/2017

   Deep in the Israeli desert is an academic institute that is building peace in the region by putting nature at its center. The Arava Institute, in partnership with Ben Gurion University, brings students from Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and around the world to find common ground around environmental problems and build trust — and peace — from there.

3. Developments In Heat Transfer Technology Can Improve Exchanger Efficiency And Reduce Water Demand 2/28/2014

   Water’s high heat capacity, high thermal conductivity, and historically low cost make it popular for process heat exchange. Power plants, especially those for liquid cooling applications, withdraw a large fraction of the total demand for water necessary for agriculture, industry, recreation, hygiene, drinking, and wildlife.  By Kevin J. Farrell and Vijay Sathyamurthi, Heat Transfer Research, Inc., College Station, Texas USA

4. Why Strategic Choices — And Water — Could Make People More Energy-Efficient 1/9/2017

   At my household, a new year means a new energy and water-use baseline. By that I mean, every month, I look at how much electricity and water I used in comparison to the same month the previous year — so I can try to be as efficient as possible. But I work in the energy field, and I know that’s not a typical New Year’s tradition. Most people don’t examine the trends of their energy-use or spend much time thinking about how to reduce it.

5. Selenium Removal Technologies: A Review 1/15/2016

   Selenium, a contaminant of concern in industries such as mining, oil refining, and power generation, is removed from wastewater principally through either biological or chemical/physical processes. This article will describe those technologies, several technology providers, and other sources of information.

6. A Promise To Our Children To Save Water In Texas 5/4/2015

   It’s no secret that Texas is currently in the midst of a multi-year drought – yet the vast majority of our electricity comes from sources that contribute to this prolonged drought, namely coal, nuclear, and natural gas. All of these energy sources require copious amounts of water to produce electricity.

7. Cloth Media Filtration Removes Coal Ash And Coal Fines At Power Plants 1/15/2019

   Coal-fired power plants generate coal fines and coal ash from a number of sources, including coal combustion residuals (CCR), particularly fly and bottom ash from coal furnaces, and coal pile runoff during rain events. In support of an industry-wide effort to reduce, improve, and remove coal ash ponds, a variety of technologies have been tested and employed. Read the full application note to learn more.

8. A New Approach To Early Biofilm Detection 11/14/2013

   To assist industrial operators in managing and preventing biofilm, Italian start-up ALVIM Srl created a monitoring system that provides early warning detection of bacterial biofilm growing on pipelines, tanks, heat exchangers, RO membranes, and other equipment.

9. Automatic Self-Cleaning Scraper Strainers Filter Smallest Particles To Largest Debris 4/29/2021

   Unlike backwash systems, scraper strainers reliably resist clogging and fouling when faced with micron-sized particles, oversized solids, and high solids concentration.

10. Cooling Tower Crisis: How Hydrogen Peroxide Scrubbed Away The Bacteria Buildup 7/9/2024

    A West coast power plant needed an immediate solution to clean its cooling tower that was fast, cost effective, and did not require removal and manual cleaning of the tower's fill material.
