Water and Energy Management

Acuren’s industry leading-edge technology and resources allow us to offer expertise with boiler/cooling water treatment systems, water preparation, failure analysis, failure avoidance and energy management.

Boiler Water Audits
We offer complete boiler water auditing capabilities. Every aspect of boiler feedwater preparation, internal treatment program selection, steam and condensate systems control, and energy auditing can be provided, depending on the scope of your project.

Chemistry Programs
We can help evaluate the optimum internal treatment programs for both cooling water and boiler water applications. Acuren maintains expert knowledge in the theory and application of treatment programs for all water chemistry types, as well as recommended monitoring and control strategies.

Energy Audits
Key parameters associated with boiler and cooling system efficiency, cycle efficiency, steam usage and unnecessary energy losses are evaluated. Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG's) and combined cycle expertise is available. We have also developed a complete mass and energy-modeling program for use in studying every aspect of power plant operation.

Process Control
Virtually all new water treatment systems are automated, and there may be significant benefits to automating older existing equipment. We have the experience to assist you in design by observing automation protocols for building the kinds of failsafe protections you need. This often overlooked aspect of equipment design can lead to thousands of dollars in wasted energy and chemicals or worst case, catastrophic failure.

System Designs
Critical factors need to be addressed in order to treat cooling water, boiler water, process water and effluent streams. Our resources have many years’ experience in identifying the critical elements for cost effective and successful programs. We have developed and use comprehensive modeling capabilities to help evaluate predicted performance and operating costs for system design elements such as filtration, clarification, ion exchange, microfiltration and reverse osmosis.

Water Treatment Practices
We can provide an independent evaluation of current versus best operating practices for your plant by incorporating the best available technology to aid in preventing boiler tube failure and to optimize energy usage. Our services are available for all types of water pre-treatment equipment, current and proposed water treatment programs, and monitoring and control practices. Additionally, we can evaluate condensate return treatment and optimization, cycles optimization, and make recommendations for avoiding catastrophic failure.
