Natural-Gas Power Plant in Pennsylvania Efficiently Turns Contaminated Well Water into High-Purity Boiler Makeup Water
Natural-Gas Power Plant in Pennsylvania Efficiently Turns Contaminated Well Water into High-Purity Boiler Makeup Water
Help assist the client in meeting stringent industrial boiler makeup water quality requirements: 10 megohm & < 2 ppb sodium & < 10 ppb silica - When a natural-gas power plant in Pennsylvania required high-quality water appropriate for feeding its boiler circuit despite having to draw from local well water—a contaminated source high in TDS—SAMCO helped design, manufacture, and initiate a double-pass membrane reverse osmosis system capable of generating extremely pure boiler feed water at 85 gallons per minute. Working with the project’s EPC firm on behalf of the client, SAMCO helped ensure the system consistently produced feed water that met all water-quality specifications for the facility’s high-pressure boiler.
