- Water treatment plant will support
capacity expansion for the power plant
- System will treat aquifer water and reuse
process effluent to maximize recovery rates
Fluence Corporation Limited (ASX: FLC) is pleased to announce
that it has received a US$3.5 million contract to design and build
a water treatment plant for a prominent power plant in Buenos
Aires, Argentina.
Fluence will design and build a complex system to treat water
from aquifers and process water from the power plant’s operations.
The system includes several stages and uses multi-media filter
(MMF), ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO) and
electrodeionization (EDI) technology. Fluence’s system is expected
to be delivered, installed and operational onsite by June 2019.
Fluence and its local EPC partner were selected by the customer
for this project due to their expertise in treating complicated
water sources to reuse quality, the system’s small footprint, and
the combination of lower capital investment required and
operational efficiencies to be generated. The plant design will
ensure reliability and maximize water recovery rate, allowing the
power plant to implement a cost-effective and environmentally
friendly solution.
In Buenos Aires, the standards for water quality discharged into
the environment are among the strictest in Argentina. Fluence was
able to achieve the client’s desired water quality due to its
extensive experience designing water treatment systems for power
plants, with three other reference projects in the power industry
in South America within the last year alone, and more across the
globe – including the recently announced €3.9 million Belgian
contract for an innovative wastewater-to-energy system for
ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest steel producer.
Fluence’s Managing Director and CEO, Henry Charrabé said: “We’re
delighted that, working with our local EPC partner, we have been
able to secure this contract for a prominent power plant in Buenos
Aires. We continue to strengthen Fluence’s position in South
America as one of the leading water and wastewater treatment
solution experts by developing systems that produce the highest
quality results. Our continued success in South America, especially
for industrial operations, is a testament to the skill and hard
work of our local team.”
