Treatments and services from GE Water & Process Technologies help fossil-fuel power plants meet tightening air-quality regulations while improving performance. Our coal flow aids and dust-control solutions improve coal-handling efficiency and reduce fugitive emissions and attendant fuel losses.

Our water treatment systems meet your need for high-purity boiler makeup water. We offer a variety of systems for de-oxygenation and removal of other dissolved gases from makeup water for steam generation systems.

To reduce downtime, you can minimize convective fouling with Heat Activated Silica injection into the back end of the boiler firebox. Slagging in the firebox can be reduced using MgO technology. Customers report that reduction in slagging and fouling can improve unit availability by 10 percent in coal- and oil-fired boilers.

For aging water plants, GE can provide alternative Mobile Water solutions, providing the latest technology to meet your specific requirements. We can provide demineralizers, reverse osmosis (RO), electrodeionization (EDI), or any combination of those technologies. We can also provide these services as a long-term service agreement with permanently installed equipment.

GE technologies that convert municipal wastewater to high-purity water help power plant developers eliminate water as a variable in plant siting. Such systems increase community goodwill by conserving local resources and reducing stress on drinking water supplies. For the most challenging water limitations, the RCC® brand of brine concentrators and crystallizers enable power plants to achieve zero liquid discharge (ZLD) on all streams, including cooling tower and boiler blowdown.

Integrated solutions with GE Energy for emissions monitoring and management, boiler improvements, and coal management, provide you a single source solution for your specific needs.
