NIPSCO chooses a greener path to comply with NDPES regulations
Published on by Tristen Gunther, Marketing Manager at LG Sonic in Case Studies
Complying with NPDES regulations
In the search of an eco-friendly and effective solution to comply with NDPES discharge regulations, NIPSCO installed 5 MPC-Buoy systems at R. M. Schahfer Generating Station in Indiana, USA. High TSS and pH are mainly caused by algal blooms which are now treated with the ultrasound technology of LG Sonic.
NIPSCO uses a large reservoir for settling out suspended solids prior to discharging the water back to the Kankakee River. This water is rich in nutrients, causing algae to grow at an undesired rate. Algae has a direct effect on pH and TSS levels in water.
