Process Water Treatment - Cooling Tower Water Treatment

The largest volume of water required by an electric generator typically will be used in the cooling tower. Air cooled condensers are being applied in the industry, however their use reduces the efficiency of the power plant. Hybrid (both wet and air cooled) are also being applied and will also require water treatment in most cases. A side stream may also be treated in order to conserve water by increasing the cycles of concentration in the cooling tower through the reduction of suspended and dissolved solids, silica and other constituents based upon the needs of our customer.

Cooling water cycles may be enhanced, even to the point of achieving near zero liquid discharge status using several technologies, including side stream softening, pretreatment, and membrane technologies.

Siemens Water Technologies offers a diverse array of solutions to help optimize the operation of your cooling tower:

Conventional and high rate clarification
Membrane filtration
Other pretreatment technologies, such as media filtration and specialty products for treating secondary sewage for reuse
Cooling tower side stream treatment for waste minimization
Intake systems, including fish-friendly traveling water screens
Chemical feed systems
Outsourced operations
Mobile treatment, including clarification, filtration and reverse osmosis

PSEG Power Leads the Way in Water Reclamation

In March 2002, a statewide drought prompted the NJDEP commissioner to announce mandatory water use restrictions. This meant that all New Jersey companies using more than 100,000 gallons of water per day had to submit a water conservation contingency plan to the NJDEP.

PSEG Power of Newark, N.J. responded by forming a drought emergency response team that developed water conservation plans for each of its generating plants. They wanted to increase the water reuse capacity of the Bergen Station plant and also design a system that would treat reclaimed water and make it pure enough to feed the station's boilers.
