White Papers and Case Studies For The Power Generation Industry

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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. 

  4. KETOS Provides Real-Time Lab Accurate Results For Effluent Water 3/18/2021

    A leading provider of water and wastewater treatment solution for industrial, municipal, and recreational customers faced a number of issues with the safe treatment and disposal of coal ash and residual ash in ponds. Frequent testing at multiple locations was needed to ensure water safety and compliance. 

  5. 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.

  6. CleanFlo™ Monoscreen® Case Study 12/22/2014

    When the polar bears at the Brookfield Zoo were introduced to their new habitats at the Great Bear Wilderness, they had no idea how much more fulfilling their life would become.

  7. Innovative Utilities Reducing Water-Energy Nexus Pressures 9/14/2016

    With large parts of the country facing drought conditions, including California, Massachusetts, and Alabama, small communities and cities alike are facing increased water-energy nexus pressures.

  8. Membrane Technologies In Containerized Units Allow For Installation In A Small Footprint 4/23/2018

    After an international tender process, the Israel Electric Company (IEC) chose Fluence to design, manufacture, and supply containerized ultrapure water production systems for use as makeup water for heat-recovery steam generators (HRSG) and for NOx emission reduction at recently upgraded power plants across Israel. More than 15 units of 20 m3/h production modules, each fitted in two 40-foot shipping containers, were provided to seven power plants. Their compact design allowed for ease of installation, operation, and maintenance while meeting the customer’s demanding engineering standards.

  9. Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 3: Operation And Monitoring 2/5/2019

    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. The final article of this three-part series will address RO system operation and maintenance best practices.

  10. Holistic Energy-Water Planning: Hedging Your Bets In A Water-Stressed World 4/22/2016

    You probably have some sort of insurance – for your healthcare, car, house, or apartment. Acting on climate change is also like insurance. It is all about managing the risks.
