  1. Controlling Biofouling In Governador José Richa Power Plant, Brazil 11/26/2024

    Read about an extensive study that was carried out to evaluate the ability of the HOD UV system to control biofouling in the Governador José Richa Power Plant. 

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Stormwater: A Valuable Resource For Power Plants? 3/28/2014

    Stormwater is often thought of as a burden. Too much of it can overwhelm wastewater treatment facilities, flood communities, and lead to the pollution of lakes and rivers. There is debate on who’s in charge of it and how it should be managed. Several communities have invested millions, and some even billions, trying to control stormwater. Even chicken farmers have issues with stormwater.

  6. Radioactive Waste: Can Membranes Reduce The Fear Factor? 10/1/2014

    It’s no wonder that the word "radioactive" scares people. I remember Chernobyl. I was raised on The Simpsons, with its bumbling plant operators and three-eyed fish. I've followed the Fukushima tragedy closely. But, scary or not, nuclear power isn't going anywhere soon.

  7. Rounding Up The Water, Clean Energy, And Climate Bills In The 85th Texas Legislative Session 4/18/2017

    We’re entering the home stretch of the 85th Session of the Texas Legislature.

  8. Demineralize Water Production In A Power Plant 5/22/2023

    A power company was concerned with the in-line ultrasonic flow meter that was showing unstable results. Learn about the solution that they chose to address this issue. 

  9. 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.

  10. How The Middle East Is Transforming Its Power And Water Industry 5/17/2018

    Global demand for power and water is accelerating — and the Middle East is no exception. A burgeoning population combined with multiple industrial diversification programs is fueling a boom in power and water projects. During the first three quarters of 2017, about US$30 billion of major power contracts and US$20 billion of water projects were awarded across the region. In 2018, the figure is looking more like $60 billion with the two sectors combined.
