Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  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. How Water Utilities Can Support The Electric Grid While Reducing Costs 5/2/2025
    Orange County Water District is combining operational flexibility with environmental stewardship by participating in demand response, earning millions in payments while maintaining their commitment to delivering clean, reliable water.
  5. Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 3: Operation And Monitoring 2/5/2019

    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. The final article of this three-part series will address RO system operation and maintenance best practices.

  6. It's Time For Industrial Treatment To Find A Phosphorus Alternative 8/7/2017

    Amid growing concerns around algal bloom, industrial operations are under pressure to stop using phosphorus-based water treatment technology. But transition to an alternative can be daunting.

  7. Platte River Power Authority Restores Cooling Reservoir, Reducing Maintenance Costs And Improving Wildlife Habitat 3/28/2014

    Top-performing coal-fired power plant finds that SolarBee® solar-powered mixers combat blue-green algae in 500-acre reservoir without the need for chemicals or mechanical aeration.

  8. RO Membranes' Protection At Pinghu Power Plant, China 8/13/2024

    A power plant in Pinghu, Zhejiang Province in China needed to replace the use of chemical biocides and protect boiler feed make-up water from anaerobic and aerobic bacterial growth and associated biofouling.
