Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

  1. Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 1: Design 12/20/2018

    Reverse osmosis (RO) systems offer power plant owners and operators a reliable and well-proven water treatment solution. However, designing and caring for an RO system requires a thorough understanding of a plant’s water supply and the technology’s capabilities. Part one of this series will review the importance of water samples and pilot studies as plant engineers begin to design an RO system to match their needs.

  2. 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.

  3. Hydro-Electric Power Station Benefits From The Use Of Siemens Flow Meters 3/30/2020

    A power plant plant experienced an accident when a pipe broke after it was sand-dusted during maintenance. The pump location, including the turbines and control room, was completely flooded. Read about the customer's search for a cost-effective flow measurement solution to drive a safety shut-down valve in case the pipe should break again.

  4. OPUS Achieves Zero Wastewater Discharge 10/26/2016

    The client revived, expanded and modernized its operations in order to produce rare earth materials in high volumes and in an environmentally responsible manner. As part of the expansion, the client contracted Veolia to design and build a new water treatment plant for their state-of-the-art rare earth facility.

  5. Power Resiliency Tips For Water And Wastewater Utilities 3/16/2016

    Are you prepared to keep services up and running if the grid goes down?

  6. 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.

  7. 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. 

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Panametrics Water Flow Meters: Boundary Busting Longevity And Quality 10/10/2024

    Late last millennium, Panametrics installed a model 6068 liquid clamp-on flow meter for the measurement of water in Kinlochleven Hydro Power, a hydroelectric power plant in Scotland, to monitor turbine generator performance.
