White Papers and Case Studies For The Power Generation Industry

  1. 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.
  2. SuperDisc™ Filtration System Case Study 12/28/2014

    Glendale Heights Wastewater Treatment Plant discharges treated water to the East Branch of the DuPage River in Illinois.

  3. A Promise To Our Children To Save Water In Texas 5/4/2015

    It’s no secret that Texas is currently in the midst of a multi-year drought – yet the vast majority of our electricity comes from sources that contribute to this prolonged drought, namely coal, nuclear, and natural gas. All of these energy sources require copious amounts of water to produce electricity.

  4. If Israel Can Find Common Ground Around The Environment, Why Can't Texas? 1/12/2017

    Deep in the Israeli desert is an academic institute that is building peace in the region by putting nature at its center. The Arava Institute, in partnership with Ben Gurion University, brings students from Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and around the world to find common ground around environmental problems and build trust — and peace — from there.

  5. Fractional Electrodeionization (FEDI) Technology For RO Permeate Polishing And Demineralization 5/5/2016

    Sabine Pass, a large LNG refinery in the U.S., required a membrane desalination solution to cater to its extensive process water needs in order to produce a large amount of liquefied natural gas for export.

  6. Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 2: Upstream Equipment 1/14/2019

    The success of a new reverse osmosis (RO) membrane system is often directly related to its pretreatment. The previous section of this article discussed RO design issues and introduced how a pilot study should include a study of its probable pretreatment equipment since the pretreatment performance will directly affect the performance of the RO system. However, piloting the upstream processes can be challenging in sizing these components for the pilot RO unit’s low flow rate.

  7. Benefits Of Clean Power Plan Are Measureable – Drop For Drop 10/17/2014

    Since EPA released its proposed Clean Power Plan (CPP) in June of this year, the plan has been a hot topic in every state.

  8. Platte River Power Authority Restores Cooling Reservoir, Reducing Maintenance Costs And Improving Wildlife Habitat 3/28/2014

    Top-performing coal-fired power plant finds that SolarBee® solar-powered mixers combat blue-green algae in 500-acre reservoir without the need for chemicals or mechanical aeration.

  9. 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.

  10. From Waste To Power: How Floating Solar Panels On Wastewater Ponds Can Secure Electricity 9/25/2024

    Wastewater ponds may seem an unlikely place to look for solutions an electricity security crisis. But their underutilized surfaces could help tackle two problems at once — high power prices and algal growth.
