White Papers and Case Studies For The Power Generation Industry

  1. Cryptocurrency And Water 11/18/2022

    With the meltdown of FTX and the price of Bitcoin sinking to a quarter of its high water mark of over $64,000 in value (now maybe two bit Bitcoin?), I decided to resurrect my 2018 post Is Cryptocurrency Going Down the Drain?...

  2. Hydro-Electric Power Station Benefits From The Use Of Siemens Flow Meters 3/30/2020

    A power plant plant experienced an accident when a pipe broke after it was sand-dusted during maintenance. The pump location, including the turbines and control room, was completely flooded. Read about the customer's search for a cost-effective flow measurement solution to drive a safety shut-down valve in case the pipe should break again.

  3. How Energy Choices Influence Water Quality 3/18/2024

    Using earth-friendly energy and conserving water supports the fight against climate change and preserves our freshwater reserves.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. FGD Purge Treatment In Coal-Fired Power Generation 3/6/2015

    Stricter environmental policies and regulations worldwide are changing how industry approaches all aspects of business. Likewise, EU (European Union) environmental policies governing air, soil, and water quality have become progressively stringent.

    These policy changes affect the power industry’s balance of meeting growing European energy demands with compliance to environmental standards. In order to conform with EU standards specific for flue gas, a coalfired generation plant (at the time owned by Endesa, Italia, S.p.A.) in Monfalcone, Italy, undertook the measure of installing a state-of-the-art FGD (flue gas desulfurization) system at their facility. This system would remove SO2 (sulfur dioxide) from the emissions for the 336 MW coal-fired power station.

  7. Desalination And Power Plants—An Ideal Partnership? 1/14/2014

    A partnership between power and desalination plants may be the solution to drinking water scarcity. Researchers are working on a new system that can create potable water using a low-temperature desalination process powered by waste heat from a waterless power plant cooling system. 

  8. EPA Providing Guidance For Drinking Water After Radiological Emergency 1/17/2017

    What would happen if there was an emergency in the U.S. that caused radioactive material to contaminate drinking water supplies? What steps could your utilities and government take?

  9. A Cool Method For Industrial Water Reuse 4/3/2017

    By harvesting heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) condensate, industrial operations can take advantage of a cool, convenient source of clean water.

  10. 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.
