Water is used extensively during the process of producing electricity. Burning coal, oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and other fuels produces steam that is used to turn turbines, and produce electricity in the thermal power production process.
This type of generating is essential to supplying electricity because it can adapt quickly, to the various ways in which power is utilized.
Use of water in Thermal Power Plants
In a thermal power plant (TPP), water is utilized for a number of purposes, including the boiler, cooling system, and systems for managing coal and ash. The cooling system consumes the most water overall. Systems for treating water are essential for ensuring plant stability.
Thermal power plant facilities use water treatment equipment’s like saltwater desalination systems, and condensate demineralizers when a significant amount of steam is needed. The industrial sector also needs water, particularly when producing commodities.
