Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Compliance Tips For EPA's New Power Plant Regulations 11/10/2015

    Now that the final rule has been published in the Federal Register, the stage is set for official implementation of the U.S. EPA’s Steam Electric Power Generating Effluent Guidelines on Jan. 4, 2016.

  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. 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.

  7. U.S. Power Profile Shift Sparks Water Opportunity 9/12/2016

    The power sector looks to zero liquid discharge and taps municipal reclaimed water as a water reuse strategy.

  8. Selenium Removal Technologies: A Review 1/15/2016

    Selenium, a contaminant of concern in industries such as mining, oil refining, and power generation, is removed from wastewater principally through either biological or chemical/physical processes. This article will describe those technologies, several technology providers, and other sources of information.

  9. Cooling Tower Crisis: How Hydrogen Peroxide Scrubbed Away The Bacteria Buildup 7/9/2024

    A West coast power plant needed an immediate solution to clean its cooling tower that was fast, cost effective, and did not require removal and manual cleaning of the tower's fill material. 

  10. Desalination And Power Plants—An Ideal Partnership? 1/14/2014

    A partnership between power and desalination plants may be the solution to drinking water scarcity. Researchers are working on a new system that can create potable water using a low-temperature desalination process powered by waste heat from a waterless power plant cooling system.
