Condensate Polishing Systems for Power Plants
Monday, October 25, 8:00-11:00 AM
The ASME Research & Technology Committee on Water and Steam in Thermal Systems sponsored this session, which presents a series of three technical papers on condensate polishing and provides a forum for a panel discussion. The papers discuss a relatively new onsite amine regeneration procedure, offsite regeneration of condensate polisher resin, and leakage from condensate polishers. The ensuing panel discussion is designed to provide an opportunity for more in-depth discussions of questions and concerns regarding condensate polishing and filtration.

Industrial Wastewater Treatment
Monday, October 25, 8:00-11:00 AM
Industrial wastewater dischargers are continually faced with mandates to improve the quality of their effluents, some regulatory in nature and some related to business incentives for effluent reuse and energy recovery. As evidenced by this year’s industrial wastewater session, these mandates arise in Asia as well as North America. Biological treatment is a theme for the three papers on the program, either as the featured treatment process for key wastewater parameters, or as pre-treatment ahead of processes designed to upgrade final effluent quality. The session will include presentations on wastewater treatment in three different industries, including the payoff presentation for a “cliffhanger” paper presented last year on biological nitrogen removal.

Power Plant Water Systems Design
Wednesday, October 27, 8:00-Noon
New regulations and constantly changing technologies are impacting the design of new power plants, as well as upgrades to existing plants, particularly regarding their water and wastewater treatment systems. This gives rise to many and varied questions. "How will carbon capture impact our water needs?" "How can we be sure our wastewater is meeting metals requirements?" "What can we do to build safety into our water treatment plant?" "Should we consider neutralizing amines instead of ammonia for pH control?" This session will address these questions and their impact to the design of the water systems in power plants.
