Achieve more with optimal water treatment for power generation
More than ever, power plants — whether powered by nuclear energy or fossil fuels — need purified water to prolong equipment life, prevent corrosion, and enable uninterrupted operation. The communities they power depend on it. High purity water is also able to better protect against erosion and damage to equipment.
DuPont Water Solutions offers world-class innovation and expertise for power generation in fossil and nuclear power plants. We work closely with local utilities, service providers, and equipment manufacturers to provide whole and integrated solutions that make a difference.
Power generation solutions
Ensuring safe, reliable operations
Coal fired and natural gas power plants need water to convert heat energy into electrical energy by driving the turbines that run the electric generators. Water quality affects the smooth operation of this system.
Our specialized water-treatment expertise can reduce costs and downtime — no matter the water source or pressure requirements — enabling a consistent and reliable source of electrical power.
Our solutions address:
- Industrial boiler feedwater.
- Condensate polishing.
- Fuel gas desulfurization (FGD) blowdown.
- Minimal liquid discharge (MLD).
- Stator cooling water.
- Online cleaning of gas turbines.
