Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

1. Methods For Making Ultrapure Water 4/19/2016

   To break down the treatment options here are three popular ultrapure treatment processes from leading technology suppliers.

2. Holistic Energy-Water Planning: Hedging Your Bets In A Water-Stressed World 4/22/2016

   You probably have some sort of insurance – for your healthcare, car, house, or apartment. Acting on climate change is also like insurance. It is all about managing the risks.

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. If Israel Can Find Common Ground Around The Environment, Why Can't Texas? 1/12/2017

   Deep in the Israeli desert is an academic institute that is building peace in the region by putting nature at its center. The Arava Institute, in partnership with Ben Gurion University, brings students from Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and around the world to find common ground around environmental problems and build trust — and peace — from there.

5. FEDI System Has Been Running Successfully For Six Years 1/1/2016

   Brazos Electric Cooperative Power Plant in Cleburne, TX is a nominal 258 MW combined cycle gas fired power plant operating on AGC (Automatic Generation Control) load requirements. The plant uses approximately 54 million gallons of water per year for boiler feed water and NOx control of its combustion turbine.

6. Changxing Power Plant Debuts The World's First Forward Osmosis-Based Zero Liquid Discharge Application 8/20/2015

   Desalination Technology Transforms 650 m3/day of Abused Industrial Wastewater

7. 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.

8. 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

9. A New Approach To Early Biofilm Detection 11/14/2013

   To assist industrial operators in managing and preventing biofilm, Italian start-up ALVIM Srl created a monitoring system that provides early warning detection of bacterial biofilm growing on pipelines, tanks, heat exchangers, RO membranes, and other equipment.

10. In-Line Ultrasonic Meters Provide Continuous Measurement For Sample Stations 5/14/2020

    Boilers, cooling towers, and reverse osmosis (RO) systems are some of the most common systems that require monitoring and chemical treatment.  Chemical treatment of boiler systems reduces scale, corrosion, and other mineral deposits. This enables the system to run more efficiently, keep heat transfer rates high and fuel costs down. To determine the proper amount of chemical to be injected into the water stream, samples of key parameters need to be taken. Instrumentation to measure ORP, pH, conductivity, temperature, pressure and flow are deployed to take these measurements.
