POWER GENERATION

TOTAL WATER MANAGEMENT SOLUTION FOR THE POWER GENERATION INDUSTRY

The power generation industry often uses steam to generate electricity which requires a significant amount of water.  Despite your method of power generation, water management products are required to make this process more efficient and reduce water consumption. As the world shifts away from coal-fired power stations to focus on alternative energy solutions, the requirement to remediate ash pond water storage infrastructure is growing.

The vast majority of power plants have recirculating cooling systems which utilise evaporative cooling to condense steam from the outlet of a turbine. There are power generation facilities that use dry cooling technology, resulting in 95% less water use. Despite your method of power generation, water management products are required to make this process more efficient and reduce water consumption.

As the world shifts away from coal-fired power stations to focus on alternative energy solutions, the requirement to remediate ash pond water storage infrastructure is growing. Led by new guidelines from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), power utility owners are now aiming to remediate coal ash basins with dewatering and stabilisation of wet ash the priority. To achieve specific requirements of the landfill, a solution is needed to quickly dewater & stabilize the ash. At Minetek our water management products can help efficiently dispose of coal ash.

Over three decades we’ve tried and tested out water management products processing any type of water quality including acid water, saline and caustic water, with our evaporation technology. Our engineers have developed the world’s largest and most cost-effective water evaporators with significant CAPEX savings in comparison to traditional water management methods.
