A TRUSTED PARTNER TO THE POWER INDUSTRY
IDE Delivers Reliable, Economical and Sustainable Solutions to the Power Industry
Thermoelectric power generation involves facilities that produce electricity through the combustion of fossil fuels (such as coal, gas or oil) or nuclear fuels.
Among the various industries, the power sector ranks as one of the largest consumers of water. This is primarily attributed to its extensive use of water for boiler feed and for cooling purposes, particularly for generating demineralized water.
The utilization of high-purity water is essential for maintaining the effective operation of steam generation systems that spin a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity, reducing the frequency of blowdowns, and preventing corrosion and damage to equipment. However, the large volumes of wastewater generated, such as cooling tower blowdown, require careful treatment and management. Within this context, reliability, efficiency, and adherence to environmental regulations stand as critical parameters.
IDE provides specialized expertise and tailored solutions which not only reduce operational costs but also enhance efficiency, safeguard critical assets, enable smooth operation, and promote safety and environmental responsibility.
Our wide range of cutting-edge technologies for water and wastewater reuse include:
DEMIN TREATMENT to enable the generation of high-quality boiler feed water
PFRO / DESALTER which reduces blowdown quantity and increases cooling tower cycles of concentration (CoC), thereby minimizing makeup water requirements.
MVC process that further reduces blowdown quantity, ensuring optimal resource utilization and environmental sustainability.
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
The Tutuka power station is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly solution for cooling water blowdown reduction that achieves 90% water recovery and significantly reduced effluent water disposal and environmental impact. Learn more
