RESOURCES FOR THE POWER GENERATION INDUSTRY

• Brine Management — A Necessity, Not A Luxury

  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.

• Automatic Self-Cleaning Scraper Strainers Filter Smallest Particles To Largest Debris

  Unlike backwash systems, scraper strainers reliably resist clogging and fouling when faced with micron-sized particles, oversized solids, and high solids concentration.

• KETOS Provides Real-Time Lab Accurate Results For Effluent Water

  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. 

• Applications Of Calcium Hypochlorite In Cooling Towers

  Calcium hypochlorite is a low-cost, solid biocide option for treating cooling towers. This white paper reviews points of consideration when making a selection for a cooling tower water treatment program and highlights advantages to utilizing calcium hypochlorite as a biocide. 

• Coal Ash Pond Polishing Filter System

  The power plant’s wastewater is contaminated by coal ash generated from power plant operations and removed in the scrubber system. The wastewater is sent to a settling pond after polymer injection to allow for sedimentation. The wastewater then travels to a second, third and fourth pond for additional settling. The water is pumped at a maximum flow rate of 10,000 GPM.

• 3M™ High Flow HFR Series Filter Cartridge Customer Success Stories

  Reverse osmosis (RO) pre-treatment is used in industrial water filtration to protect the RO membranes, high pressure pumps and other hardware. The performance of pre-filters matters and can impact your operation, in terms of efficiency and water quality.

• Filtration System For Thermoelectric Plant

  AES Gener is the second generating company in Chile and the main thermoelectric generator, and provides 4.068 MW (including Guacolda S.A.), equivalent to a share of 22%, whereas 3.797 MW of thermoelectric capacity and 271 MW of hydroelectric capacity.

• Ultrapure Water Treatment: A Market With Energy

  A look at the market dynamics and drivers for ultrapure water treatment reveals multiple industries with growing demand, including one that stands above the rest.

• Hydro-Electric Power Station Benefits From The Use Of Siemens Flow Meters

  Pumped storage hydro-electric power is a method of producing electricity to supply high peak power demands by moving water between water reservoirs at different elevations. At times of low electrical demand, excess generation capacity is used to pump water back into the higher reservoir. When there is higher demand, water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine. Pumped-storage schemes currently provide the most commercially important means of large-scale grid energy storage. Such systems greatly improve the daily capacity factor of power generating systems though out the world.

• Power-Gen Efficiency Boosted By Clamp-On Flow Meters

  When an energy storage facility in New York, USA was looking for a way to improve the efficiency of their power generating turbines they did not have many options to choose from. Because of the sheer size, the space limitations and performance requirements of the application, the only option was to install a SITRANS FS230 clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter from Siemens.
