Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

1. FGD Purge Treatment In Coal-Fired Power Generation 3/6/2015

   Stricter environmental policies and regulations worldwide are changing how industry approaches all aspects of business. Likewise, EU (European Union) environmental policies governing air, soil, and water quality have become progressively stringent.

   These policy changes affect the power industry’s balance of meeting growing European energy demands with compliance to environmental standards. In order to conform with EU standards specific for flue gas, a coalfired generation plant (at the time owned by Endesa, Italia, S.p.A.) in Monfalcone, Italy, undertook the measure of installing a state-of-the-art FGD (flue gas desulfurization) system at their facility. This system would remove SO2 (sulfur dioxide) from the emissions for the 336 MW coal-fired power station.

2. Creating Stability For The Energy Revolution Takes Ability 8/6/2018

   ABB provides an extensive selection of proven measurement and analytical products and solutions for power generation industry applications.

3. Cryptocurrency And Water 11/18/2022

   With the meltdown of FTX and the price of Bitcoin sinking to a quarter of its high water mark of over $64,000 in value (now maybe two bit Bitcoin?), I decided to resurrect my 2018 post Is Cryptocurrency Going Down the Drain?...

4. SIPART PS2 Digital Positioner Used On Feedwater Valve 6/2/2016

   A large power producer in the Northeast U.S. has a four unit power generation plant that operates on demand, based upon bid price to the area ISO. Plant efficiency and speed of response is crucial.

5. Filter Installations Remove Solids From FGD Scrubber Effluent 4/9/2019

   Power plants and refineries around the world must manage and treat complex effluent waste streams from the Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) process. Flue gas is generated by the combustion process of fossil and fossil-derived fuels, such as coal, oils, and natural gas in power plants. Petrochemical refineries may generate flue gas from a number of different processes, including Catalytic Cracking, Steam Methane Reforming, and Heaters or Furnaces.

6. First-Of-Its-Kind Zero Liquid Discharge Plant Installed In Egypt 12/30/2015

   The Egyptian Ethylene and Derivatives Company (ETHYDCO) is a joint venture company established with the purpose to produce Ethylene, Butadiene and their derivatives (Polyethylene, Poly Butadiene).

7. Design-Build Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) System — New Harquahala Generating Project 3/3/2015

   The New Harquahala Generating Project serves as a power and electrical wholesaler in the Southwestern United States. To fill the need for growing energy consumption in the region, this facility was built to provide power to the area.

8. 8 Reasons To Revisit Quats For Cooling-Water Algae Control 7/29/2021

   The need for cooling-water systems is common among industrial applications, but the treatments needed to keep them operating at peak efficiency can change from location to location and season to season. Here is why a different type of quaternary ammonium compound (quat) algaecide has an important role to play in balancing performance, efficiency, and total lifecycle costs across many cooling-water-treatment regimens.

9. 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.
