Nuclear Plant Retrofit Comparison for Powers Engineering 9-June-2009 Case 1A Case 2A Case 1B Case 2B Water Salt Salt Fresh Fresh Type ClearSky BTB Wet BTB ClearSky BTB Wet BTB Cells 3x22=66 3x18=54 3x20=60 3x18=54 Footprint 3@529x109 3@433x109 3@481x109 3@433x109 Rough Budget $115.6 million $38.6 $109.1 $36.4 Basis: 830,000 gpm at 108-88-76. Plume point is assumed at 50 DB/90% RH.
Low clog film type fill is used for all of the selections, assuming any fresh water used would likely be reclaimed water of some sort. Low clog fill has been used successfully in various sea water applications. Intake screens would be required for the make-up sea water to limit shells, etc. Make-up for the ClearSky tower would be approximately 80-85% of the wet tower make-up on an annual ba sis. Budget is tower only, not including basins. Infrastructure cost is estimated by some at 3 times the cost of the wet tower, including such things as site prep, basins, piping, electrical wiring and controls, etc. Sub-surface foundations such as piling can add significantly, and may be necessary for a seacoast location. The estimates above are adjusted for premium hardware and California seismic requirements, which are a factor in the taller back-to-back (BTB) designs both for wet and ClearSky. These are approximate comparisons. Both the wet towers and ClearSky towers could likely be optimized more than what has been estimated here, and may have to be tailored to actual site space in any event. ClearSky has pump head like a wet tower, is piped like a wet tower, and has higher fan power than a wet tower to accommodate the increased air flow and pressure drop.
Coil type wet dry towers woul d cost significantly more, with premium tube (titanium for sea water, and possibly for reclaimed water) and header materials. An appropriate plenum mixing design has yet to be devel oped, but would also re quire non-corrosive materials and high pressure drop on the air si de. No coil type BTB wet dry towers are likely to be proposed.

ClearSky fan motor horsepower is 250 hp?
Hello Paul
, I need to confirm that 250 hp is the standard fan motor horsepower for the ClearSky back-to-back or inline tower. I am running some calculations on total parasitic load and am using 250 hp as the ClearSky fan motor horsepower assumption.

Nuclear Plant Water Use 24 Primary Loop Secondary Loop Tertiary Cooling Loop
Water in the Desert Because of its desert location, Palo Verde is the only nuclear power facility that uses 100 percent reclaimed water for cooling. Unlike other nuclear plants, Palo Verde maintains "Zero Discharge," meaning no water is discharged to rivers, streams or oceans.
Water Reclamation Facility The Palo Verde Water Reclamation Facility (WRF), is a 90 MGD tertiary treatment plant that reclaims treated secondary effluent from the cities of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale and Tolleson.

This process involves treated effluent trickling down over a biological growth maintained on plastic media.

This sludge is raked to the middle of the Clarifier and pumped from the system for recycle and disposal.
13 2nd Stage Solids Contact Clarifiers In the Second Stage Clarifiers, the pH is lowered to 10.2 by the addition of Carbon Dioxide Gas.
This pH drop and the addition of Soda Ash solution causes the precipitation of additional Calcium and further reduces hardness.
14 Gravity Filters The effluent from the 2nd Stage SCC flows to a common header where the pH is adjusted to 9.2 and goes to the 24 Mixed Media Gravity Filters.
These Mixed Media Filters contain a layer of Anthracite Coal over a layer of Sand.
They serve as a final polishing process to remove particulate Calcium.

WATER TECHNOLOGIES Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) System Power Industry l Case Study Project DescriptionThe Client's NeedsArizona Public Service Redhawk Power Station Arlington, AZ USA The Redhawk Power Station is comprised of two 2x1
combined cycle natural gas-
1,060 MW of electrical power.
Critical to the planning and
permitting of this facility was the source and utilization of
water and the environmental impact of the station with
respect to liquid emissions.
Based upon these issues, Redhawk was designed to
use reclaimed municipal
Verde Nuclear Generating Station for its process water requirements.
What is unique about this source of water is that it's supplied by several neighboring City of Phoenix municipal treatment facilities with their associated seasonable variability. The plant would also be designed to utilize well water as a contingency and achieve in either case, high-quality
water for continuous reuse throughout the plant.The second critical aspect is the permitted requirement as a Zero Liquid Discharge facility. As regulated, no aqueous waste can be discharged from site operations into the environment. The wastewater treatment system must be designed to remove contaminants and recycle high-
quality water back into the process. This closed loop integration of the overall water cycle must be achieved over the complete range of feed water conditions as well as support plant operations. The treatment system must produce of high-purity water, maintain cooling tower conditions for high availability, and comply with the
Zero Liquid Discharge mandate.APS (Arizona Public Service) has been a leading provider of electricity and energy products and services to the Western United States for over a century.With power plants located throughout the Southwestern United States, APS provides natural-gas, coal and nuclear generated electrical power
to the region.
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) SystemProject & Technology SolutionsVeolia Water Technologies tel +1 815 609-2000 tel +34 94 491 40 92www hpd.info@veolia.comTurnkey Scope of SupplyVeolia was the sole point of responsibility in providing a design-build solution for the complete
wastewater portion of the plant which included: All major process equipment Mechanical erection Buildings Utility piping and valves Electrical hardware and cabling Overall control system Insulation and painting Structural support and access steel Training of staff, commissioning and start-up support The Results treatment plant commissioned by Veolia Water Technologies in
the promised time frame. Since the commissioning of the integrated ZLD system in 2002, the Redhawk Power Station has successfully accomplished the goal of effectively recycling the waste created by cooling tower blowdown and producing high-quality water while adhering to
the Zero Liquid Discharge mandate.The Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) System had to reclaim water resources and reject waste properly as an integrated component of the power station. APS selected Veolia Water Technologies to design and build a process system utilizing HPD evaporation and crystallization technologies, which were the key elements in
the overall design.The evaporator was designed to receive 450 gpm of high-salinity blowdown from the cooling towers. The compressor-driven HPD evaporator pre-concentrates the brine and produces high-purity distillate for recycling to the cooling tower and service water
system. Concentrate from the evaporator is advanced to a forced circulation crystallizer where the salts that form the impurities are crystallized and sent to a centrifuge for dewatering. The HPD crystallizer is also compressor driven and produces distillate that
is combined with that of the evaporator for recycle.
