In the world of power generation, an often-overlooked fact is the massive amount of wastewater produced by the industry. For every barrel of oil produced, an astonishing five barrels of wastewater are generated. This staggering statistic sheds light on the immense water usage and waste production that accompanies power generation, making it one of the largest consumers of water and producers of industrial wastewater worldwide.
The Challenge of Wastewater in Power Generation
Wastewater from power plants is not just plain water. It contains a variety of contaminants, including chemicals and heavy metals, that are harmful to the environment and human health. The treatment of this wastewater is thus not just a matter of disposing of it but involves complex processes to remove these harmful substances. The traditional methods of treating and disposing of this wastewater are not only costly but also environmentally unsustainable.
