Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

41. Monitor Your Pump For Process Efficiency 12/3/2017

    Pumps are all too frequently one of the most overlooked and abused pieces of equipment in process automation, yet nothing moves without them and a process becomes inefficient when they don’t operate properly or completely shutdown. 

42. Offshore Platform Fire Safety Sprinkler System Depends On Liquid Flow Assurance Switch 1/12/2021

    Offshore platforms around the globe are essential to the production of oil/gas and the global energy supply chain, but they represent a daily hazardous operating environment to the employees that work there 24-x-7. The potential dangers range from a mix of toxic and combustible gases, including, but not limited to, deadly hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to explosive methane (CH4), and other mixed hydrocarbon gases that are easily flammable.

43. Creating Stability For The Energy Revolution Takes Ability 8/6/2018

    ABB provides an extensive selection of proven measurement and analytical products and solutions for power generation industry applications.

44. Power Plant Water: Wanted Dead And Alive 7/17/2017

    Water is the lifeblood of electrical power plants, whether they are water-cooled steam plants or turbine-spinning hydroelectric installations. Regardless of how the facility generates electricity, there is a growing awareness that each power plant is part of its own, unique industrial watershed — drawing water from the environment, altering its contents and temperature, releasing some to the atmosphere as steam, and returning the rest to receiving waters.

45. In Times of Drought: 9 Economic Facts About Water In The United States 4/2/2015

    This Hamilton Project memo presents nine economic facts that provide relevant background context to the water crisis in the United States.

46. 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.

47. 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. 

48. Brine Management — A Necessity, Not A Luxury 3/15/2022

    Brine is everywhere: desalination plants, gas and oil drillings, energy generation plants, mines, cooling towers, food manufacturing plants, chip fabrication, and many other industries that require high volumes of water. They all generate brine as a byproduct of their processes.

49. Innovative Utilities Reducing Water-Energy Nexus Pressures 9/14/2016

    With large parts of the country facing drought conditions, including California, Massachusetts, and Alabama, small communities and cities alike are facing increased water-energy nexus pressures.

50. Water Is Energy 6/21/2022

    More than 2,000 years ago, Greek and Roman engineers harnessed the power of water to drive grain mills, and the technology soon spread as far as China, where it was used to forge iron. By the 4th century, the Romans had scaled up water wheel technology to build a massive flour plant in Arles, France, powered by 16 overshot water wheels. During the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci sketched out visions of water-driven sawmills, forges, factories, and spinning works.
