Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Power Generation Industry

81. 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.

82. 3M™ High Flow HFR Series Filter Cartridge Customer Success Stories 12/1/2020

    Reverse osmosis (RO) pre-treatment is used in industrial water filtration to protect the RO membranes, high pressure pumps and other hardware. The performance of pre-filters matters and can impact your operation, in terms of efficiency and water quality.

83. 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.

84. Why Strategic Choices — And Water — Could Make People More Energy-Efficient 1/9/2017

    At my household, a new year means a new energy and water-use baseline. By that I mean, every month, I look at how much electricity and water I used in comparison to the same month the previous year — so I can try to be as efficient as possible. But I work in the energy field, and I know that’s not a typical New Year’s tradition. Most people don’t examine the trends of their energy-use or spend much time thinking about how to reduce it.

85. The Future Of Hydroelectric Power: Balancing Generation With Environmental Impact 7/18/2025
    As global climate goals and the environmental impact of hydroelectric systems draw increased attention, the conversation for energy leaders and water resource professionals has shifted from expansion to optimization, where smarter infrastructure and adaptive strategies must work together to reduce harm without compromising output.
86. 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.

87. Cooling Tower Crisis: How Hydrogen Peroxide Scrubbed Away The Bacteria Buildup 7/9/2024

    A West coast power plant needed an immediate solution to clean its cooling tower that was fast, cost effective, and did not require removal and manual cleaning of the tower's fill material. 

88. 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.

89. 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.

90. 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.
