TREVOSE, Pa. — Tenaska Gateway Generating Station, a combined-cycle power plant in Texas, has reaped the benefits of GE’s water treatment technology, saving the plant over $3.2 million in operational expenses and significantly reducing its use of water treatment agents in the past three years, according to a press release.
The Tenaska Gateway Generating Station, located near Mt. Enterprise in Rusk County, Texas, recently incorporated facility enhancements that earned the facility a GE Return on Environment Award, stated the release.
This award recognizes the achievements of industrial users that significantly surpass environmental and industrial operational goals while balancing industrial demands.
Tenaska was recognized for its noteworthy reductions in rinse water and water treatment agents, noted the release.
