Wastewater management and air pollution control in energy sector

Our solutions for waste management in electricity generation plants

Condorchem Enviro Solutions designs and commissions plants for the treatment and reuse of wastewater, as well as systems for air pollution control in all types of energy generation plants. Our plants are designed to offer maximum efficiency, reliability, and durability, ensuring maximum productivity and compliance with environmental regulations. Additionally, we guarantee the recovery and reuse of valuable materials present in the waste, optimizing resources and contributing to more sustainable operations.

The main sources of pollution that can be found in power plants are:

Effluents from cooling tower blowdowns
Desulfurization plant blowdowns
Borated water blowdowns
Turbine blowdowns
Laundry and sanitary water
Tritiated water
VOC emissions in ullage process
NOx emissions in solar thermal power plants

At Condorchem Envitech, we have extensive experience in implementing the available processes and technologies for the treatment of effluents and emissions generated by any electric power generation plant.

Treatment of desulfurization purge in thermal power plantsTo comply with environmental regulations regarding the sulfur level in emissions to the atmosphere, thermal power plants implement desulfurization technology.

Cogeneration from wasteCogeneration allows for the generation of electrical and thermal energy in a very economical way, while also reducing the amount of waste to be treated.

Conditioning of low- and intermediate-level radioactive wasteWe review the current situation, conditioning and typology of low and medium activity nuclear waste generated in nuclear power plants.

Treatment of wastewater with tritium generated in nuclear power plant reactorsWastewater generated in nuclear power plants reactors contains a high amount of tritium. We analyze the different technologies for its treatment, such as cryogenic distillation and electrolysis.

Plants for nuclear fuel reprocessing and management: PUREX processSpent nuclear fuel gets removed at the end of its burnup cycle. The PUREX process treats the spent nuclear fuel in order to reuse uranium and plutonium.

Levels and legal aspects in the decommissioning of a nuclear power plantWe analyse the levels of the process of decomissioning a nuclear power plant, as well as its legal aspects and the treatment of the waste generated.

Treatment of effluents in the decommissioning of a nuclear power plantTreatment of effluents in the dismantling of a nuclear power plant, technologies to be used and example of a plant in dismantling process.

Low and intermediate level radioactive waste treatmentSolutions for the treatment of low and intermediate level radioactive waste treatment generated in the nuclear sector. Check out these innovative solutions for liquid waste and solid waste treatment.

Ash and activated carbon for wastewater treatmentWe analyze the use of ashes and activated carbon for wastewater treatment and the comparative advantages of this method.
