GE’s wastewater recycling technology will be installed at the Russell City Energy Center (RCEC), a 600MW power plant being built under a voluntary agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency to meet stricter limits on greenhouse gases and other emissions.
The RCEC project is jointly owned by affiliates of Calpine Corp and GE Energy Financial Services.
GE will provide the lead contractor Bechtel with its ZLD system for onsite wastewater treatment and recycling between the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of next year.
GE’s 400 gallons-per-minute brine concentrator and mixed-salt crystallizer will utilize a skid-mounted design to help Bechtel reduce field construction costs.
The facility is expected to begin commercial service in 2013 and supply energy to the San Francisco Bay region.
