Efficient and Effective Management of Power Plant Wastewater Streams

In previous blogs, we've looked at general issues faced by industries with regard to their water and effluent treatment needs. In this blog, we will take a closer look at the power industry in particular, as thermal power generation is one of the largest "guzzlers" of water in the U.S., responsible for some 41% of daily water withdrawals. This makes limited water resources and drought more challenging for this industry – a challenge that is compounded by increasingly strict effluent discharge regulations.

The Future of Brine Management

Industrial advancements and population growth increase the need to generate water from available sources such as sea and brackish water.

Current technologies available today for water production / desalination can be divided into two major categories - membrane technology, primarily reverse osmosis (RO), and thermal technologies such as multiple effect distillation and mechanical vapor compression.
