Water treatment for power plant in Finland
Heat from the UK’s SELCHP waste incineration plant is central to London’s heat network
can incinerate up to 420,000 tonnes per year of municipal solid waste. Lewisham’s mayor and cabinet have agreed to enter into a memorandum of understanding with an energy company to develop a heat network around the incineration facility.
LiqTech International Inc has won a US$1.1 million tender to supply a turnkey water treatment project for a large power plant in Finland. The LiqTech installation will include pretreatment, ceramic ultra- filtration systems membranes and a reverse osmosis system. The water treatment system, which will be delivered later in 2018, will enable the client to reuse a wastewater stream.
Lithium-ion batteries could carry triple their
conventional charge A collaboration led by scientists at the University of Maryland (UMD), the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the U.S. Army Research Lab have developed and studied a new cathode material that could triple the energy density of lithium-ion battery electrodes. Their research was published on June 13th in Nature Communications. Scientists at UMD synthesized a
new cathode material, a modified and engineered form of iron trifluo- ride (FeF3), which is composed of cost-effective and environmentally benign elements–iron and fluorine. Researchers have been interested in using chemical compounds like FeF3 in lithium-ion batteries because they offer inherently higher capacities than traditional cathode materials.
London’s Lewisham Council has appointed WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff to undertake a feasibility study for a heat network supplying Goldsmiths, University of London with heat from the SELCHP waste incineration plant. South East London Combined Heat and
Power, another name for SELCHP, is a major energy from waste incineration plant located in South Bermondsey, London. It was designed to generate both heat and electricity. The plant can generate up to 35 MW of power using a steam turbine in electricity only mode. It
Councillor Jonathan Slater, a Cabinet member for the community sector, said: “The heat network will be from the South East London Combined Heat and Power facility, which is an opportunity to supply heat direct from the borough’s waste, for the benefit of residents and businesses in the borough. “Feasibility studies have shown that a
heat network could cover 5km and provide heating for up to 7,500 homes.” He concludes: “The memorandum is also a high level statement of intent that marks an important milestone in a growing partnership with Veolia on this project. “There is still much work to be done to take this forward.”
Fire-damaged seawater flue gas desulphurization plant in Cyprus - Andritz has
been chosen to rebuild the facility The Electricity Authority of Cyprus has selected Andritz to reconstruct the damaged seawater flue gas desulphurisation (SWFGD) plant at the Vasilikos power station in Cyprus. The SWFGD plant for the existing heavy fuel oil boiler Number 3 in Vasilikos was damaged in 2016 in a fire that completely destroyed the flue gas treatment equipment. The scope of Andritz’s work includes design, supply, erection, reconstruction, testing,
commissioning and performance testing of the SWFGD plant supplied. The main Andritz deliveries are a packed absorber tower made of concrete, a gas-gas
heater (GGH) on top of the absorber, upgrade of the existing aeration system, as well as connection to all other existing systems. Upgrade of the existing electrostatic precipitator (ESP) will also enable the plant to comply with the new and stricter emission regulations. The new system is scheduled to start up in May 2019.
