White Papers and Case Studies For The Power Generation Industry

  1. Changxing Power Plant Debuts The World's First Forward Osmosis-Based Zero Liquid Discharge Application 8/20/2015

    Desalination Technology Transforms 650 m3/day of Abused Industrial Wastewater

  2. 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.

  3. Hydro Schemes Have An Impact In Scotland 6/17/2016

    At the end of 2011, the total hydroelectric installed capacity in the United Kingdom accounted for approximately 1.67 Gigawatts (GW) of installed electrical generating capacity, being 1.9% of the current total UK generating capacity, and 14% of the UK's renewable energy generating capacity.

  4. Saving Texas' Water Through Smart Energy Choices In 2016 1/19/2016

    2015 proved to be another weird weather year around the country, especially for Texas. 80 degrees and dry in Austin on Christmas Day, spring wildflowers in bloom, and kids playing outside in shorts — a surprise ending to a wild ride of drought followed by devastating floods followed by drought and then more floods.

  5. 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.

  6. 4 Safety Considerations For Anyone Storing, Handling, or Transporting Substances 3/25/2014

    Substances regulated or substances unregulated may ultimately impact the environment, health, and water supply of others. The following safety considerations are advised for those who store, handle, or transport potentially dangerous substances.

  7. 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.

  8. Is Your Water System Ready For Population Growth? 8/11/2017

    Utilities are faced with myriad threats looming in the future, but chief among them is increased stress from population growth. In Denver, comprehensive planning for that future is underway.

  9. Straight Talk On Radiation 6/22/2015

    From time-to-time I write on topics that are related to water and wastewater as a "backgrounder" so that those involved in the field can gain a wider perspective and have available to them a cogent explanation minus jargon on various topics. By Dr. J.H. Wakefield

  10. Coal Ash Pond Polishing Filter System 12/9/2020

    A power plant's wastewater was being contaminated by coal ash generated from power plant operations. The plant was searching for a treatment/polishing system to maintain a TSS of less than 25 PPM.
