Client: Ministry of Energy
Location: Middle East
Year of Commissioning: 2010
Application: Demineralized water for steam turbines
Capacity: 2 × 80 m³/h parallel lines
Project Background
To support a 2000 MW thermal power plant, a high-capacity demineralized water system was required. The feed water came from surface and river sources, but due to underground water fluctuations, part of the return flow from turbines and the CPP unit was reintroduced, creating challenges in water quality consistency.
Engineering Solution
The system was designed to produce ultrapure water with conductivity below 0.1 µS/cm. The process train included:
Multimedia filtration (sand and activated carbon)
Cartridge filtration
Reverse osmosis (RO)
Ion exchange (cation, anion, mixed-bed)
Chemical dosing
Neutralization and polishing (NP)
Design was executed in collaboration with Filmtec and R&H, ensuring optimal membrane and resin selection. The modular setup allowed scalability and operational flexibility.
Operational Results
The plant has operated continuously for over 20 years without downtime, consistently meeting the strict water quality standards for steam turbines.
Regional Impact
The project stabilized electricity supply across the region, supporting industrial growth and improving quality of life. Its compact footprint and rapid deployment made it a benchmark for similar installations.
