FGD Purge Treatment In Coal-Fired Power Generation
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.

Are Biden's COP27 Goals Enough To Curb The Water-Food-Energy Nexus?
At the 27th UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in November 2022, world leaders gathered in Egypt to announce climate action initiatives and the steps each one planned to take to reduce the impacts of climate change in their respective countries. Among the leaders in attendance was U.S. President Biden, who outlined his goals and desires to double down on climate commitments relating to the water, food, energy nexus.

Keeping A Lid On It: Identifying And Intercepting Potential Cooling Water System Upsets
A wide range of industrial operations rely on cooling systems to function. And, in turn, these systems require cooling water to function. So, it stands to reason that a wide range of water treatment issues need to be considered and addressed so that cooling water system upsets are avoided and everything continues to run as it should. Oftentimes, an efficient industrial operation depends on efficient monitoring and treatment of cooling water.

The Improved Business Case For Membranes In Industrial Water Reuse
Membrane filtration can be a valuable tool in industrial operations by removing oils and solids that are generally not captured with other bulk separation methods. However, membranes have traditionally been limited by low throughputs, poor durability, and the inability to consistently achieve low residual oil levels. The good news is advanced membrane filtration technologies that promote efficient and economical water reuse are now available.
