CONT

Conventional thermal power stations discharge small quantities of various liquid effluents which require purification; these include eluates from the regeneration of ion exchangers, alkaline effluents from the washing of air heaters, water from the chemical cleaning of steam generators and accidental leaks of oil fuel ...

CONT

Water. Primary issues of concern are biochemical oxygen demand (BOD); chlorinated organic compounds (particularly dioxin), which are often collectively measured as adsorbable organic halides (AOX); chemical oxygen demand (COD); total suspended solids (TSS); and aquatic toxicity. Reduction of water use in the industry is also a concern, although progress has been made in this area in the past several decades. Elimination of aqueous effluent from the manufacturing process is a goal of the industry worldwide.

CONT

Water effluent discharge: total suspended solids (TSS) and temperature difference.
