White Papers and Case Studies For The Power Generation Industry

  1. OPUS Achieves Zero Wastewater Discharge 10/26/2016

    The client revived, expanded and modernized its operations in order to produce rare earth materials in high volumes and in an environmentally responsible manner. As part of the expansion, the client contracted Veolia to design and build a new water treatment plant for their state-of-the-art rare earth facility.

  2. SIPART PS2 Digital Positioner Used On Feedwater Valve 6/2/2016

    A large power producer in the Northeast U.S. has a four unit power generation plant that operates on demand, based upon bid price to the area ISO. Plant efficiency and speed of response is crucial.

  3. Methods For Making Ultrapure Water 4/19/2016

    To break down the treatment options here are three popular ultrapure treatment processes from leading technology suppliers.

  4. 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.

  5. 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. 

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. It's Time For Industrial Treatment To Find A Phosphorus Alternative 8/7/2017

    Amid growing concerns around algal bloom, industrial operations are under pressure to stop using phosphorus-based water treatment technology. But transition to an alternative can be daunting.

  9. Power Resiliency Tips For Water And Wastewater Utilities 3/16/2016

    Are you prepared to keep services up and running if the grid goes down?

  10. Selenium Removal Technologies: A Review 1/15/2016

    Selenium, a contaminant of concern in industries such as mining, oil refining, and power generation, is removed from wastewater principally through either biological or chemical/physical processes. This article will describe those technologies, several technology providers, and other sources of information.
