Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

1. In Times of Drought: 9 Economic Facts About Water In The United States 4/2/2015

   This Hamilton Project memo presents nine economic facts that provide relevant background context to the water crisis in the United States.

2. Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 3: Operation And Monitoring 2/5/2019

   Reverse osmosis (RO) systems offer power plant owners and operators a reliable and well-proven water treatment solution. However, designing and caring for an RO system requires a thorough understanding of a plant’s water supply and the technology’s capabilities. The final article of this three-part series will address RO system operation and maintenance best practices.

3. 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.

4. OPUS Achieves Zero Wastewater Discharge 10/26/2016

   The client revived, expanded and modernized its operations in order to produce rare earth materials in high volumes and in an environmentally responsible manner. As part of the expansion, the client contracted Veolia to design and build a new water treatment plant for their state-of-the-art rare earth facility.

5. 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors Can Help Meet Pure Steam Requirements In Pharmaceutical Industry 8/10/2017

   Pure steam is used in sterilization chambers as a common method to sterilize pharmaceutical products, such as equipment parts, instruments, containers and materials for sterile environments.

6. Rounding Up The Water, Clean Energy, And Climate Bills In The 85th Texas Legislative Session 4/18/2017

   We’re entering the home stretch of the 85th Session of the Texas Legislature.

7. 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors Improve Water Quality and EDI Performance 6/27/2017

   Electrodeionization (EDI) is a widely used water treatment process. EDI technology is an electrochemical process that uses ion selective membranes and an electrical current to continuously remove ions from water. The process uses ion exchange resin to remove the ions from the feed stream, producing pure water.

8. Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 2: Upstream Equipment 1/14/2019

   The success of a new reverse osmosis (RO) membrane system is often directly related to its pretreatment. The previous section of this article discussed RO design issues and introduced how a pilot study should include a study of its probable pretreatment equipment since the pretreatment performance will directly affect the performance of the RO system. However, piloting the upstream processes can be challenging in sizing these components for the pilot RO unit’s low flow rate.

9. The Energy Reality Behind Cape Town's Water Crisis — And Why The U.S. Should Care 2/28/2018

   In Cape Town, South Africa, the countdown is on for Day Zero when water taps in the city of 4 million people are expected to run dry.

10. Bubble Removal From Aqueous Streams Using 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ SP Series Membrane Contactors 7/18/2017

    Many manufacturing processes, analytical measurements, and other industrial processes that involve aqueous solutions are adversely affected by bubbles in the fluid stream. 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ SP Series Membrane Contactors provide a very simple, cost effective solution to help eliminate bubbles from such processes.
