Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

31. Coal Ash Pond Polishing Filter System 12/9/2020

    A power plant's wastewater was being contaminated by coal ash generated from power plant operations. The plant was searching for a treatment/polishing system to maintain a TSS of less than 25 PPM. 

32. 8 Reasons To Revisit Quats For Cooling-Water Algae Control 7/29/2021

    The need for cooling-water systems is common among industrial applications, but the treatments needed to keep them operating at peak efficiency can change from location to location and season to season. Here is why a different type of quaternary ammonium compound (quat) algaecide has an important role to play in balancing performance, efficiency, and total lifecycle costs across many cooling-water-treatment regimens.

33. 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

34. Water And Power Generation Remain A Balancing Act Amid Tightening Regulations 11/1/2019

    A recent survey digs into the treatment aspects of water in the power industry, revealing how electric utilities are responding to concerns over regulations and volumes of use.

35. 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

36. If We Don't Talk About Water, Are We Really Talking About Resiliency? 11/3/2017

    Energy Secretary Rick Perry is trying to prop up coal and nuclear companies under the guise of enhanced “resiliency.” The Department of Energy’s (DOE) proposal does not define resiliency, nor does it even make clear what resiliency means in the context of the electric grid.

37. 3M Purification Filtration In Process Cooling Water 12/1/2020

    The water used in cooling water systems must be filtered to reduce particulates and help protect downstream process equipment from various sources of contamination at numerous entry points.

38. Predicting The Worldwide Impact Of Water Scarcity On The Energy Sector 9/26/2014

    As water is stretched and regulations around it tightened, the energy industry feels the burden. This can result in everything from reduced operations and higher costs for consumers to,in extreme cases, blackouts and gas and electricity shortages.

39. Pinpointing Accurate Steam Use In Dynamic Industrial Processes 6/1/2021

    In commercial brewing — as with other food, chemical, or industrial processes — control over steam heating can have significant influence on process costs and consistent quality in the final product. But its measurement and control can also be impacted by unique circumstances of those applications. Here is how changing just one aspect of steam measurement brought economy and consistency to multiple aspects of a brewer’s overall process.

40. Boiler Feed Water Pump Local Instrumentation — Necessity Or Nuisance? 2/28/2017

    Anyone remember the old cars of the 1950s and 1960s? They all pretty much came equipped with an ammeter, an oil pressure gauge, a water temperature gauge, as well as a speedometer and a fuel level gauge.
