1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Hydro Schemes Have An Impact In Scotland 6/17/2016

   At the end of 2011, the total hydroelectric installed capacity in the United Kingdom accounted for approximately 1.67 Gigawatts (GW) of installed electrical generating capacity, being 1.9% of the current total UK generating capacity, and 14% of the UK's renewable energy generating capacity.

4. 3M™ High Flow HFR Series Filter Cartridge Customer Success Stories 12/1/2020

   Reverse osmosis (RO) pre-treatment is used in industrial water filtration to protect the RO membranes, high pressure pumps and other hardware. The performance of pre-filters matters and can impact your operation, in terms of efficiency and water quality.

5. Straight Talk On Radiation 6/22/2015

   From time-to-time I write on topics that are related to water and wastewater as a "backgrounder" so that those involved in the field can gain a wider perspective and have available to them a cogent explanation minus jargon on various topics. By Dr. J.H. Wakefield

6. The Future Of Hydroelectric Power: Balancing Generation With Environmental Impact 7/18/2025
   As global climate goals and the environmental impact of hydroelectric systems draw increased attention, the conversation for energy leaders and water resource professionals has shifted from expansion to optimization, where smarter infrastructure and adaptive strategies must work together to reduce harm without compromising output.
7. 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.

8. Filtration System For Thermoelectric Plant 11/29/2020

   AES Gener is the second generating company in Chile and the main thermoelectric generator, and provides 4.068 MW (including Guacolda S.A.), equivalent to a share of 22%, whereas 3.797 MW of thermoelectric capacity and 271 MW of hydroelectric capacity.

9. 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.

10. Relieving The Pressure Of Monitoring Peak Boiler Water Efficiency 3/9/2019

    Industrial operations across the gamut leverage boiler water, the liquid that passes through a boiler and is converted into steam, thus powering operations around the world. But not all of them do as much as they could to ensure peak boiler water efficiency. Through the proper treatment considerations and quality measurement knowledge, every industrial player can make the most of this central process.
