Combined Heat and Power (CHP) What is CHP? Efficient way to generate heat and power together What does CHP provide to the rest of the project? Electricity Cooling water Why is CHP needed? Improves fuel efficiency Cuts down energy cost Reduces investment Our Goal “To optimize energy production and consumption of the whole plant .“ - Prof. Perl

Boiler Feed Pretreatment What is boiler feed pretreatment? A series of separation processes to provide pure water for boiler Why do we need boiler feed pretreatment? Maximizes lifetime Maximizes performance Reduces costs
Boiler Feed Pretreatment Design Basis Production scale – Required amount of water for boiler Feedstock – Reclaimed water Blow down – Hazards for environment Main Pretreatment Processes Clarification Filtration Reverse Osmosis Ion Exchange Available Suppliers GE; Nalco; Siemens; Veolia
