Technical potential appraisal and optimal site screening comparing AHP and fuzzy AHP methods for large-scale #CSP plants: A GIS-MCDM approach in Morocco 🔹 #Concentrated #Solar Power technical potential assessment in Morocco and MCDM-GIS site selection analysis. 🔹 The potential totals 21,100.32 TWh/year, varying from 0.20 to 47.97 GWh/year per cell. 🔹 Screening criteria were related to climate, orography, water and location aspects. 🔹 FAHP method with CoA can help reduce subjectivity more than α-cut defuzzification. 🔹 AHP scoring was slightly higher for the top-ranked areas but more restrictive for the highly suitable and suitable classes. https://lnkd.in/dGNntecP #thermal Ouafae Jbaihi Fatima-zahra O.

The second stakeholder consultation meeting on the "Research Study Report on Ambient Air Quality Data Across India" was held on August 21, 2024, chaired by Dr. V.K. Saraswat of NITI Aayog. Dr. Anshu Bharadwaj outlined the report's background and previous stakeholder meeting. CSIR-NEERI presented findings indicating that SO2 emissions from coal-based thermal power plants (TPPs) are generally within acceptable limits, suggesting no need for additional Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) installations. Instead, the focus should be on controlling particulate matter (PM) emissions, as they exceed regulations. Recommendations included halting new FGD orders, treating existing installations as experimental sites, maintaining stack heights 150 m and optimizing PM control technologies.

The new EPA rules for Effluent Limits from Steam Electric Power plants are going to be hard to satisfy short of a zero liquid discharge solution. Heartland's Concentrator is a proven solution for FGD ZLD (as well as power plant leachate ZLD) and will be a go-to solution for the power industry.

Active remediation sites containing light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) often retain residual hydrocarbons underground, necessitating long-term management. Much of the remedy transition focus in recent years has been on natural source zone depletion (NSZD) or monitoring the gradual disappearance of LNAPL through natural processes. At the Guadalupe Restoration Project, scientists recently demonstrated exciting breakthroughs in NSZD measurements and monitoring technology by incorporating bioventing to expedite the natural breakdown. To quantify sitewide NSZD, scientists used CO2 efflux measurements and subsurface temperature profiling, yielding similar results to those reported in the early 2000s. With the methods validated for the site, the project team tested a solar power system to introduce oxygen (bioventing) into areas with residual oil. This significantly increased the LNAPL biodegradation rate, almost by an order of magnitude compared to the baseline NSZD estimates. These findings are promising for cleaning up petroleum contamination in a sensible and environmentally conscious way. Technical experts at Trihydro and Chevron recently published an article in the National Ground Water Association’s Groundwater Monitoring & Remediation Journal detailing the enhanced SZD by solar-powered bioventing at the Guadalupe Restoration Project.

Faced with stringent effluent limitation guidelines, the Taean Thermal Power Station in South Korea needed a reliable solution for managing its flue gas desulfurization (FGD) wastewater. Our advanced wastewater treatment system provided the answer. Our innovative solutions convert challenging FGD wastewater into high-purity water for reuse and mixed salts, achieving zero liquid discharge (ZLD) and optimizing operational and capital expenditures. As one of the world’s largest coal-fired power plants with a generating capacity of 6.1 GW, this facility supplies electricity to the South Korean capital and surrounding regions.

💡 How to reduce the energy penalty from Amine-based CO2 capture from WtE plants? 📍Our new study presents the integration between a partial oxycombustion waste to gas system (Partial OxyWtG), where the exothermic production of CH4 releases enough thermal energy to the regeneration column within a Lean Vapor Compression simple modification of a Base Case Amine Absorption process, decreasing the energy penalty resulted from the retrofitting, and besides, producing a high valuable CH4 as a product. A detailed modelling of the entire process is presented in order to facilitate the comprehension of the results. https://lnkd.in/dQjH3vCp Carlos Ortiz

Join me at IEAGHG GHGT-17 in Calgary, Canada, where I will present FluxLab’s latest research on surface soil gas MMV at the SaskPower Boundary Dam Power Plant CCS project—Aquistore, overseen by PTRC. Date: Tuesday, October 22 Session: Tue C2 Time: 2:36 - 2:47 PM Location: ePoster Screen What will we discuss? As CCS expands globally, particularly in North America and Europe, its success depends not just on technological advances but also on public trust and collaboration, which effective MMV can help achieve. In my presentation, I’ll cover: • How baseline monitoring combined with near-surface soil gas MMV builds public confidence by identifying deviations from normal conditions. • Advancements in continuous sensor systems and algorithms that provide real-time leak detection, reduce costs, and improve stakeholder trust. 🔗 Feel free to connect or message me if you’d like to discuss the topic further or meet up during the conference. See you there! 👋 #GHGT17 #CarbonCapture #CCS #MMV #PublicTrust #Aquistore #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition
