Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

61. Applications Where Variable Area Flow Meters Deliver Value And Performance 3/4/2025

    Learn why Variable Area flow meters are the technology of choice where simple, dependable performance and cost advantages are important.

62. Cryptocurrency And Water 11/18/2022

    With the meltdown of FTX and the price of Bitcoin sinking to a quarter of its high water mark of over $64,000 in value (now maybe two bit Bitcoin?), I decided to resurrect my 2018 post Is Cryptocurrency Going Down the Drain?...

63. Waste Heat Recovery For Desalination From Steam Power Plants 4/17/2014

    Currently, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia about 1.5 million barrels of oil are consumed daily to generate electricity to drive reverse osmosis desalination plants.  This represents about 15 percent of KSA’s daily oil production. 

64. Will Water Scarcity Be The Death Of Fossil Fuels? 2/20/2024

    Water stress, whether caused by drought, access limitation, or contamination, has been increasingly detrimental for an ever-growing range of industries. Recently, a report by CDP, in collaboration with Planet Tracker, shed light on the significant impact of water insecurity on the financial performance of more than 4,000 companies. Of particular note are those companies in energy or energy-adjacent sectors.

65. 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.

66. The Key To Accurate Waste Gas Flow Measurement 4/20/2020

    Wastewater treatment facilities have a tremendous opportunity to utilize the biogas they generate to lower energy costs and minimize odors. However, the practice isn’t as widespread as it could be, as the precision gas flow and methane content readings required to optimize the process often clash with the misconception that biogas is messy and difficult to measure reliably. With the proper equipment, it is possible to accurately measure biogas to cut emissions and reduce or eliminate the energy bill.

67. From Drought To Deluge: Gauging The Impact Of Western Rains 4/10/2023
    For a number of years now, we have heard of dwindling water supplies in the western part of the U.S., but 2023 brought "atmospheric rivers" that (literally) flooded the Golden State and filled 12 of its 17 major reservoirs above their historical averages for the start of spring. It's a double-edged sword when such extreme weather arises, and obviously important to learn from the experience to better prepare for future events and plan for both resiliency and sustainability.
68. Are Biden's COP27 Goals Enough To Curb The Water-Food-Energy Nexus? 5/23/2023

    At the 27th UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in November 2022, world leaders gathered in Egypt to announce climate action initiatives and the steps each one planned to take to reduce the impacts of climate change in their respective countries. Among the leaders in attendance was U.S. President Biden, who outlined his goals and desires to double down on climate commitments relating to the water, food, energy nexus.

69. Filtration System For Thermoelectric Plant 11/29/2020

    AES Gener is the second generating company in Chile and the main thermoelectric generator, and provides 4.068 MW (including Guacolda S.A.), equivalent to a share of 22%, whereas 3.797 MW of thermoelectric capacity and 271 MW of hydroelectric capacity.

70. A Roundup Of Energy, Water, And Climate Bills In The 84th Texas Legislative Session 4/2/2015

    We’ve almost made it to the midway point of the 84^th Session of the Texas Legislature. As many already know, the Texas Legislature only meets from January to May every other year, so a lot has to get done in these few months.
