High-rate Combined Solids Contacting and Thickening Minimize Footprint and Maximize Treatment: Waste production and footprint are important considerations in the design of any industrial water treatment plant. Many industrial water treatment facilities use lime softening to reduce hardness, suspended solids, silica and other potential foulants in their cooling water, boiler feed and other process water systems.

Innovative Water Treatment Design Helps Midwest Power Station "Go Green": The Ameren Coffeen Power Station in Coffeen, IL, draws its water from a man-made 1,100-acre lake that provides recreation for many.  The power station uses the lake for condenser cooling as well as makeup for boiler feed water.  The varying water levels in the lake can be challenging depending on the season, so when plant officials wanted to replace the facility’s aging water treatment system, they specifically chose technology to minimize the amount of regeneration chemicals discharged to the lake.
