From traditional to renewable energy sources, today’s energy and power producers all share a common need: effective water management. Whether operating hydroelectric dams, tapping into geothermal reservoirs, scaling up green hydrogen, or relying on fossil or nuclear generation, every sector faces unique water and wastewater treatment challenges.
Xylem supports the full spectrum of energy operations with solutions for raw water intake; cooling water; condensate, deaerator, and boiler feed systems; auxiliary water; and wastewater applications. Our broad portfolio helps reduce operating expenses, meet sustainability goals, and maintain compliance — ensuring reliable, efficient, and resilient performance across the entire water cycle.
Updated State and Federal environmental regulations led to a shortened project timeline for a facility that needed a Low Volume Wastewater (LVWW) system. Because the regulation prevented the use of the ash impoundment after the deadline, the facility needed to divert all low volume wastewater flows entering the impoundment from the deadline date to the time a permanent LVWW system could be installed and operational.
A West Coast refinery turned to Evoqua for help in providing a more consistent and reliable quality of purified boiler feedwater. The refinery, using up to 1,500 gpm of demineralized boiler makeup water, was experiencing a variety of problems including aging demineralizers, pending environmental legislation, excessive operation costs, wide variations of raw water quality, and limited capital to address these issues.
