12-02: A Synergistic Combination of Advanced Separation and Chemical ScaleWater is essential to thermoelectric power plants, used primarily for cooling. Using impaired water in place of freshwater is a potentially attractive solution to the problems of water scarcity and competing demands. Nalco was awarded DOE grant to develop a cost effective integrated solution (chemical and physical) for the use of impaired water and maximize the cycles of concentration. Argon National Laboratories under CRADA demonstrated the use of ED
