Combined Heat and Power (CHP) What is CHP? An efficient way to generate heat and power together What does CHP provide to the rest of the project? Electricity Pure 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

Cooling Water System Function: Convert Supply Water to Industrial Cooling Water Types of Cooling Water Systems: Once-Through Open Recirculation Closed Recirculation Design Considerations: Deposition of Solids Corrosion of Equipment Microbial Growth
Hydraulic Fracturing Fluid (Frac Water) Composition: 80-99% water Additives that need to be removed: Proppant (sand, silica) Gel Relevant Separation Processes: Clarification Precipitation Softening
Treatment Processes Clarification Coagulation – precipitation Flocculation – clumping of impurities Sedimentation – settling Filtration Precipitation Softening – for Silica Reduction Addition of Lime – precipitation Sedimentation – settling Filtration
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
