Yulin/China – Under China’s new regulations, including the Water Pollution Action Plan, the New Environmental Protection Law and China’s 13th Five-Year Plan, coal, and coal-fired power plants must eliminate the liquid discharge of wastewater into the environment and a ZLD system must be installed to obtain a permit for these plants.

GE’s ZLD evaporator and crystallizer system will eliminate liquid discharge of waste and enable water reuse at the Shaanxi Future Energy Chemical coal-to-chemical plant in Shaanxi Province, China. The facility is a coal-to-liquid project where Shaanxi Future Energy Chemical converts coal into a variety of oil products.

GE’s wastewater treatment system includes a vapor recompression brine concentrator followed by a crystallizer, providing a proven and cost-effective ZLD solution. The equipment is expected to be delivered in mid-2016, with commissioning in March 2017. Once operational, the Hong Dun Wastewater Treatment Facility will treat wastewater feed at a rate of 40 m³/hr.

“This project is the sixth of this kind in China for GE in recent years and builds on our reputation as a premier ZLD solution provider worldwide. It is indicative of China’s desire to use innovative methods, such as zero liquid discharge wastewater treatment technology, to expand the coal-to-chemical industry while minimizing environmental impact” said Kevin Cassidy, global leader, engineered systems – water and process technologies for GE Power.
