Coal Fired Power Plant Achieves ZLD for FGD Wastewater
Project Overview A sharp increase in boron concentration in the FGD waste- water required that The City of Springfield Office of Public Utilities and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency develop a boron mitigation strategy to remove the bo- ron from the waste streams at the power generation facili- ty.
