Integrating Cooling System with Membrane Distillation to Substantially Reduce Water Requirements
This report evaluates the economic viability of installing heat-driven membrane distillation technology at a thermoelectric power plant to treat brackish groundwater or wastewater for makeup water in cooling towers. Results from a preliminary analysis on three coal plants and one natural-gas combined-cycle plant showed that they produce enough waste heat from the condenser loop and […]
