Project Overview
Client: Ministry of Energy
Location: Iraq
Year of Commissioning: 2013
Application: Demineralized water for steam turbines
Capacity: 2 × 25 m³/h parallel lines
Project Background
The IST Power Plant required ultrapure water from well sources with high silica content. Without a buffer tank, the system had to operate continuously through two parallel lines at 50% capacity each.
Engineering Solution
Engineered to achieve conductivity below 0.1 µS/cm, the treatment process included:
Sand filtration
Two-stage RO
Ion exchange (cation, anion, mixed-bed)
Acid and caustic dosing
Neutralization and polishing (NP)
Design was developed with Filmtec and R&H, ensuring high membrane performance and compact layout.
Operational Results
The system has delivered uninterrupted high-quality water, maintaining stability despite feed water challenges
Regional Impact
The project enabled reliable power generation, improving energy access and serving as a model for constrained environments.
