Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

1. 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.

2. Droughts And Blackouts: How Water Shortages Cost India Enough Energy To Power Sri Lanka 7/28/2017

   India is making great strides to aggressively expand its renewable energy capacity. But the country's power sector remains highly reliant on thermoelectric plants, with high demand for water for cooling. That means that droughts, like the one caused last year by weak monsoons, can shut off the power, hampering the economy and potentially endangering lives.

3. U.S. Power Profile Shift Sparks Water Opportunity 9/12/2016

   The power sector looks to zero liquid discharge and taps municipal reclaimed water as a water reuse strategy.

4. Methods For Making Ultrapure Water 4/19/2016

   To break down the treatment options here are three popular ultrapure treatment processes from leading technology suppliers.

5. Stormwater: A Valuable Resource For Power Plants? 3/28/2014

   Stormwater is often thought of as a burden. Too much of it can overwhelm wastewater treatment facilities, flood communities, and lead to the pollution of lakes and rivers. There is debate on who’s in charge of it and how it should be managed. Several communities have invested millions, and some even billions, trying to control stormwater. Even chicken farmers have issues with stormwater.

6. 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. 

7. Water And Power Generation Remain A Balancing Act Amid Tightening Regulations 11/1/2019

   A recent survey digs into the treatment aspects of water in the power industry, revealing how electric utilities are responding to concerns over regulations and volumes of use.

8. In-Line Ultrasonic Meters Provide Continuous Measurement For Sample Stations 5/14/2020

   Boilers, cooling towers, and reverse osmosis (RO) systems are some of the most common systems that require monitoring and chemical treatment.  Chemical treatment of boiler systems reduces scale, corrosion, and other mineral deposits. This enables the system to run more efficiently, keep heat transfer rates high and fuel costs down. To determine the proper amount of chemical to be injected into the water stream, samples of key parameters need to be taken. Instrumentation to measure ORP, pH, conductivity, temperature, pressure and flow are deployed to take these measurements.

9. Energy-Water Nexus Lessons Learned From The State Of Texas 3/27/2017

   By making strategic choices to maximize energy-water efficiencies, we can help protect our supplies in advance of our next drought. Here are three ways that work.

10. How Energy Choices Influence Water Quality 3/18/2024

    Using earth-friendly energy and conserving water supports the fight against climate change and preserves our freshwater reserves.
