CHALLENGE
Heartland was asked to provide a wastewater treatment system to evaporate Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) purge water at a US Steam Electric Power Plant using Coal as the fuel source. The primary project goal was to demonstrate reliable operation and achieve Zero Liquid Discharge.
SOLUTION
The Heartland Concentrator proved to be a strong option to treat FGD wastewater for ZLD.
-
System availability was greater than 90%.
-
The concentrator could process this water, as well as highly variable water occurring during startup, outage, flushing and other routine operations.
-
The effluent total solids concentration averaged more than 60% which was an impressive 10% above the initial target.
Simply stated, Heartland played a crucial role in supporting the plant’s ZLD compliance.
