Power Plant ZLD

Cooling Tower Blowdown

Flue Gas Desulfurization

After extensive pilot testing with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Vacom has proven to be a technology of choice for managing Power Plant effluents. By removing Selenium, Mercury and Misc. Heavy Metals, the distillate is capable of reuse or discharge. At a large installation for a coal-fired power plant in China, the crystallized salts are recovered.

The Vacom Cooling Tower Blowdown Zero Liquid Discharge system is a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution. The system works by removing the accumulated contaminants in the cooling tower and returning clean water keeping the cooling tower clean, efficient and functional.

Our system concentrates water past the precipitation point of many salts, there is no need to perform any crystal seeding techniques. The savings and conservation of water often brings benefits to a region not just to a single plant. Vacom Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) accepts high suspended solids with no pre-treatment, and no complicated chemical precipitations to remove scaling salts. One system does it all.

Vacom’s is the final step in water management system focusing on Zero Liquid Discharge where reuse is both a cost savings and a water conservation solution. If appropriate Vacom can partner with Reverse Osmosis (RO) if front end concentration is used to design a smaller Vacom system for ZLD benefits.

The benefits of the Vacom Zero Liquid Discharge system include:

Conservation and reuse of water. This one benefit alone is worth the time and cost of converting to the system.

The system is low maintenance with little to no scaling or fouling.The heat exchange design enables “One-Step” creation of salt crystals and safe disposal of solids with no liquid discharge (ZLD).Vacom can partner with Reverse Osmosis (RO) if front end concentration is used to design a smaller Vacom system for ZLD benefits. Elimination of the need for expensive and complicated chemical precipitations to remove scaling salts. The system requires no pretreatment, and no complicated chemical precipitations to remove scaling salts. One system does it all.

Reduced operating costs.

Increased efficiency.

Environmentally friendly and safe: the system is safe for use in power plants, with no risk of explosions or fires.
