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. 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.

  3. A Roundup Of Energy, Water, And Climate Bills In The 84th Texas Legislative Session 4/2/2015

    We’ve almost made it to the midway point of the 84th Session of the Texas Legislature. As many already know, the Texas Legislature only meets from January to May every other year, so a lot has to get done in these few months.

  4. 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. 

  5. 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.

  6. How Water Utilities Can Support The Electric Grid While Reducing Costs 5/2/2025
    Orange County Water District is combining operational flexibility with environmental stewardship by participating in demand response, earning millions in payments while maintaining their commitment to delivering clean, reliable water.
  7. The Long Journey Of An Energy-Water Bill In Texas 7/6/2015

    Being an environmental advocate in Texas may seem like an uphill battle, and I make no bones about the fact it most certainly is.

  8. Droughts And Blackouts: How Water Shortages Cost India Enough Energy To Power Sri Lanka 7/28/2017

    India is making great strides to aggressively expand its renewable energy capacity. But the country's power sector remains highly reliant on thermoelectric plants, with high demand for water for cooling. That means that droughts, like the one caused last year by weak monsoons, can shut off the power, hampering the economy and potentially endangering lives.

  9. Small Changes, Big Impact: How A U.S. Utility Fleet Reclaimed Demineralizer Efficiency Across 12 Plants 7/23/2026

    Operational drift in demineralizer systems often leads to hidden chemical and water waste. By re-establishing precise performance baselines and refining operational practices, facilities can significantly lower annual chemical spend, reduce water consumption, and recover valuable operating time.

  10. Combined-Cycle Water Treatment System 7/17/2017

    The client was in need of both a raw water and wastewater treatment system for its new 1,100-megawatt (MW) natural gasfired combined cycle power station that was being built to replace an existing 400-MW coal-fired plant that had been decommissioned previously. Veolia Water Technologies was contacted to engineer, procure and supply a 6,000 gallons per minute (GPM) raw water treatment system and a 1,200-GPM wastewater treatment system.
