Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

1. Maximum Water Reuse, Zero Liquid Discharge — A Power Plant Case Study 3/1/2015

   ELCOGAS, established in 1992 with the aim of building and operating a 335 MW Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant as well as the commercialization of its technology.

2. 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.

3. Eliminate CIP And Cut Wastewater Disposal In Half With CCD 7/31/2014

   A high water recovery rate is essential for this well-known soy protein manufacturer.

4. Pile Cloth Media Filtration For Clean Utilities 4/15/2019

   Cooling towers and boilers consume the most fresh water in the industry, with industrial process waters carrying the balance. Power plants and refineries use more water volume for the cooling process than any other area of the facility. Mining and food and beverage industries consume higher volumes for their processes. Clean water may come from a range of sources, including clarified surface waters, groundwater or properly treated wastewater (reuse) sources.

5. Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 1: Design 12/20/2018

   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. Part one of this series will review the importance of water samples and pilot studies as plant engineers begin to design an RO system to match their needs.

6. How Water Utilities Can Support The Electric Grid While Reducing Costs 5/2/2025
   Orange County Water District is combining operational flexibility with environmental stewardship by participating in demand response, earning millions in payments while maintaining their commitment to delivering clean, reliable water.
7. SuperDisc™ Filtration System Case Study 12/28/2014

   Glendale Heights Wastewater Treatment Plant discharges treated water to the East Branch of the DuPage River in Illinois.

8. 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.

9. If We Don't Talk About Water, Are We Really Talking About Resiliency? 11/3/2017

   Energy Secretary Rick Perry is trying to prop up coal and nuclear companies under the guise of enhanced “resiliency.” The Department of Energy’s (DOE) proposal does not define resiliency, nor does it even make clear what resiliency means in the context of the electric grid.

10. Offshore Platform Fire Safety Sprinkler System Depends On Liquid Flow Assurance Switch 1/12/2021

    Offshore platforms around the globe are essential to the production of oil/gas and the global energy supply chain, but they represent a daily hazardous operating environment to the employees that work there 24-x-7. The potential dangers range from a mix of toxic and combustible gases, including, but not limited to, deadly hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to explosive methane (CH4), and other mixed hydrocarbon gases that are easily flammable.
