Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

  1. Design-Build Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) System — New Harquahala Generating Project 3/3/2015

    The New Harquahala Generating Project serves as a power and electrical wholesaler in the Southwestern United States. To fill the need for growing energy consumption in the region, this facility was built to provide power to the area.

  2. In-Line Ultrasonic Meters Provide Continuous Measurement For Sample Stations 5/14/2020

    Boilers, cooling towers, and reverse osmosis (RO) systems are some of the most common systems that require monitoring and chemical treatment.  Chemical treatment of boiler systems reduces scale, corrosion, and other mineral deposits. This enables the system to run more efficiently, keep heat transfer rates high and fuel costs down. To determine the proper amount of chemical to be injected into the water stream, samples of key parameters need to be taken. Instrumentation to measure ORP, pH, conductivity, temperature, pressure and flow are deployed to take these measurements.

  3. Can Co-Locating Utilities Solve The Water-Energy Nexus? 4/21/2014

    Resources being a scarce commodity, it’s incumbent upon us to optimize the use of water and energy as best we can. While conservation is the prime course of action for the public, the best solution for utilities may be to work smarter — by having the water-energy nexus work for us instead of against us.

  4. Maximum Water Reuse, Zero Liquid Discharge — A Power Plant Case Study 3/1/2015

    ELCOGAS, established in 1992 with the aim of building and operating a 335 MW Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant as well as the commercialization of its technology.

  5. Eliminate CIP And Cut Wastewater Disposal In Half With CCD 7/31/2014

    A high water recovery rate is essential for this well-known soy protein manufacturer.

  6. HOD™ UV Delivering Pure Performance In Power, Energy & Heavy Industry 3/27/2025

    Chemical-Free Water Treatment Solutions, particularly the HOD™ UV system, represent a significant advancement in water purification technologies for power, energy, and heavy industries. This system eliminates the need for chemical agents, ensuring a cleaner and safer water treatment process.

  7. 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. 

  8. 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. 

  9. Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 1: Design 12/20/2018

    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. Part one of this series will review the importance of water samples and pilot studies as plant engineers begin to design an RO system to match their needs.

  10. 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.
