Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

  1. Inside The Technology: 3M Liqui-Cel Membrane Contactors 4/19/2021

    While dissolved gas can give beverages distinctive flavors and fizz, it can also corrode boiler equipment and cause problems in microelectronics. With 3M’s advanced gas transfer membrane technology, you have the power to control dissolved gases with precision. Dive in to learn the ins and outs of 3M Liqui-Cel technology.

  2. Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 2: Upstream Equipment 1/14/2019

    The success of a new reverse osmosis (RO) membrane system is often directly related to its pretreatment. The previous section of this article discussed RO design issues and introduced how a pilot study should include a study of its probable pretreatment equipment since the pretreatment performance will directly affect the performance of the RO system. However, piloting the upstream processes can be challenging in sizing these components for the pilot RO unit’s low flow rate.

  3. 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.

  4. CleanFlo™ Monoscreen® Case Study 12/22/2014

    When the polar bears at the Brookfield Zoo were introduced to their new habitats at the Great Bear Wilderness, they had no idea how much more fulfilling their life would become.

  5. Keeping A Lid On It: Identifying And Intercepting Potential Cooling Water System Upsets 3/10/2019

    A wide range of industrial operations rely on cooling systems to function. And, in turn, these systems require cooling water to function. So, it stands to reason that a wide range of water treatment issues need to be considered and addressed so that cooling water system upsets are avoided and everything continues to run as it should. Oftentimes, an efficient industrial operation depends on efficient monitoring and treatment of cooling water.

  6. City Of St. Cloud Relies On Thermal Flow Meters For Digester Biofuel Co-Gen Power Process 8/13/2018

    The City of St. Cloud, Minnesota, straddles the Mississippi River near the center of the state a little more than 65 miles north of the twin cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul. The city’s forward thinking staff began looking for sustainable green energy solutions in 2003. After planning and initiating a series of projects over several years, the site is today producing renewable energy with a 20 kW rooftop solar array, a 220 kW solar array and biofuels electricity generation.

  7. 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?

  8. 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.

  9. Natural Gas-Fired Combined Cycle Power Plant Improves The Performance Of Water Treatment System 7/19/2016

    A natural gas-fired combined cycle power generation facility located in Idaho contacted QUA to find a solution to improve the performance of a water treatment system used to recycle the plant’s cooling tower blow down water.

  10. Power To The Women: For Women's History Month, NREL Celebrates The Powerful Women Of Water Power 3/17/2022

    This article is the first of two in a Women’s History Month series that showcases a handful of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL's) outstanding women researchers in water power.
