Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

1. Combined-Cycle Water Treatment System 7/17/2017

   The client was in need of both a raw water and wastewater treatment system for its new 1,100-megawatt (MW) natural gasfired combined cycle power station that was being built to replace an existing 400-MW coal-fired plant that had been decommissioned previously. Veolia Water Technologies was contacted to engineer, procure and supply a 6,000 gallons per minute (GPM) raw water treatment system and a 1,200-GPM wastewater treatment system.

2. A Promise To Our Children To Save Water In Texas 5/4/2015

   It’s no secret that Texas is currently in the midst of a multi-year drought – yet the vast majority of our electricity comes from sources that contribute to this prolonged drought, namely coal, nuclear, and natural gas. All of these energy sources require copious amounts of water to produce electricity.

3. Fractional Electrodeionization (FEDI) Technology For RO Permeate Polishing And Demineralization 5/5/2016

   Sabine Pass, a large LNG refinery in the U.S., required a membrane desalination solution to cater to its extensive process water needs in order to produce a large amount of liquefied natural gas for export.

4. Developments In Heat Transfer Technology Can Improve Exchanger Efficiency And Reduce Water Demand 2/28/2014

   Water’s high heat capacity, high thermal conductivity, and historically low cost make it popular for process heat exchange. Power plants, especially those for liquid cooling applications, withdraw a large fraction of the total demand for water necessary for agriculture, industry, recreation, hygiene, drinking, and wildlife.  By Kevin J. Farrell and Vijay Sathyamurthi, Heat Transfer Research, Inc., College Station, Texas USA

5. How The Middle East Is Transforming Its Power And Water Industry 5/17/2018

   Global demand for power and water is accelerating — and the Middle East is no exception. A burgeoning population combined with multiple industrial diversification programs is fueling a boom in power and water projects. During the first three quarters of 2017, about US$30 billion of major power contracts and US$20 billion of water projects were awarded across the region. In 2018, the figure is looking more like $60 billion with the two sectors combined.

6. Keeping The Operator In Focus: The Four Pillars Of Operator Effectiveness 8/2/2018

   This paper shows how the four pillars of operator effectiveness lead operators to greater awareness, faster response and better decisions.

7. 3M Purification Filtration In Process Cooling Water 12/1/2020

   The water used in cooling water systems must be filtered to reduce particulates and help protect downstream process equipment from various sources of contamination at numerous entry points.

8. 4 Safety Considerations For Anyone Storing, Handling, or Transporting Substances 3/25/2014

   Substances regulated or substances unregulated may ultimately impact the environment, health, and water supply of others. The following safety considerations are advised for those who store, handle, or transport potentially dangerous substances.

9. Water Is Energy 6/21/2022

   More than 2,000 years ago, Greek and Roman engineers harnessed the power of water to drive grain mills, and the technology soon spread as far as China, where it was used to forge iron. By the 4th century, the Romans had scaled up water wheel technology to build a massive flour plant in Arles, France, powered by 16 overshot water wheels. During the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci sketched out visions of water-driven sawmills, forges, factories, and spinning works.

10. Water-As-A-Fuel Market For The Future Of Clean Energy 3/6/2025

    The idea of utilizing water as a fuel source has been speculated by scientists, innovators, and researchers from all over the globe, envisioning a world where renewable, green energy can power the planet.
