Company Tapped to Apply Award-Winning Forward Osmosis Technology toTreat Wastewater from Coal-Fired Plant
Oasys Water, a world leader in innovative solutions for water treatment and desalination,today announced its first international commercial application underscoring successful partnership development efforts in the Chinese market. The Changxing Power Plant, located in China's northern Zhejiang province, will useOasys Water's patented technology to treat the coal-fired power plant's wastewater from flue gas desulfurization (FGD). This project marks China's first commercial application of Forward Osmosis based Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), an innovative desalination method that Oasys Water has pioneered.
The planned wastewater treatment system will desalinate up to 650 m3/day of the FGD wastewater for reuse. Changxing is one of the Huaneng Group's 85 thermal and hydropower plants, making it a promising model to showcase Oasys Water's unparalleled water reuse solutions for China's growing power market. The technology will be deployed to Zhejiang province in early 2015.
According to the latest report from GlobalData, the global FGD market is anticipated to grow by nearly 30% in the coming years as regulations around sulphur emissions are tightened due to increasing air quality concerns, especially in developing nations. The market experiencing the fastest growth in FGD is China, which currently has more coal-fired power plants than the United States, Europe, and India combined, as well as newly implemented nationwide restrictions on sulphur emissions.
