Electricity Generation

Wastewater. Power plants.

Wastewater power plants. The plants are facilities that generally have a significant consumption of water for the generation of electricity and their plants include systems for its treatment for its final disposal or reuse.
When talking about the sources of wastewater in power plants it can be said that they are numerous, and in general can be cataloged by their variation of composition in 4 types: accidentally contaminated water, continuously polluted water, unpolluted water and sewage.
The wastewater of the plants, among its pollutants, have hydrocarbons used in the operations of the plant, but its concentration is much lower than that presented in the wastewater of a refinery, so the treatment can be simpler.
To minimize treatment costs, adequate treatment management must be guaranteed, in treatment and transport, considering, among other things, an optimal treatment sequence and synchronization.

Wastewater. Power plants.

When designing this type of system, it must be considered that the composition of the wastewater is not known exactly, so you have to work with operating ranges, and that there are continuous and other intermittent flows. Additionally, obtaining a design with zero discharge is welcome.
Among the elements of the system to be considered are drainage networks and/or collection stations, waste water storage tanks or pits, transfer pumps, treatment units, tanks or storage pits for treated water in a tank or pit, treated water pumps, and storage of the contaminant for final disposal.
Once the source, its flow, classification and transport have been defined, the one that best applies to the installation must be selected between conventional or non-conventional treatments for the processing of waste water.
Among residues or wastes obtained can be mentioned: oil and solids, and those obtained from the treatment processes applied.

Our vision
