A TRUSTED PARTNER TO THE POWER INDUSTRY
IDE provides high-quality water treatment solutions for power plants, helping increase their productivity and meet tightening environmental standards

As the world’s desire to preserve the environment has escalated, power plants are now being hounded with increasingly strict regulations to govern their wastewater discharge. On top of this, the costs of fresh water – which is growing scarcer by the minute – and the costs of wastewater discharge, are rising.
Power plants are now scrambling to find innovative technology and methods to help treat their wastewater discharge. The problem is that many power plants, especially older ones, need to carry out expensive refurbishments and retrofits – and in some cases, both – so they can adopt newer methods and processes.
IDE provides advanced and complete solutions based on robust and proven technologies; SWRO, and thermal desalination solutions. These end-to-end solutions meet the high availability requirements for mission-critical systems, delivering high-quality water at reduced operational costs, while adhering to the stringent environmental regulations, including waste discharge, CO2, and clean air.
IDE’s Solutions for Cooling Tower Blowdown Treatment
IDE’s end-to-end, integrated cooling tower blowdown water treatment solutions include high-recovery Reverse Osmosis solutions that reduce reject volumes, and complete thermal ZLD solutions. These maximize the overall recovery and minimize the volume for disposal. Learn how IDE’s CTBD water treatment technology can help your plant maximize recovery, minimize operational costs and comply with the strictest regulatory requirements.

In the power industry, there are three main streams that require treatment:
Boiler feed/makeup, cooling tower makeup, and cooling tower blowdown.
Learn how to manage them effectively and efficiently > Read the Blog
IDE enables power plants to effectively reuse their blowdown stream using two types of technology:
MAXH2O Desalter a state-of-the-art RO solution that uses an integrated salt precipitation cycle for high-recovery applications. Learn more
Pulse Flow RO Technology which revolutionizes the conventional RO desalination process by moving from a continuous flow to a pulse flow. Learn more
Together, these technologies have enabled multiple power stations around the world to reduce their ongoing wastewater costs while further reducing their impact on the environment.
Case Study: The Tutuka power station
