Description
Coal combustion residuals (CCRs) are the second-largest waste material in the U.S., behind household garbage. As such, it is vital that CCRs are correctly managed to prevent environmental damage and safeguard human and animal health. With almost 5 billion tons of coal ash stored by utilities at more than 1,000 sites across the U.S. – whether in ponds as a wet slurry or in landfills as dry powder – preventing leaks into waterways or the air is an industry priority. Every day, Xylem’s experts help power plant operators safely manage CCRs by combining decades of on-the-ground expertise with cutting-edge technology including automation; remote monitoring and controls; and contact and non-contact water pre-treatment and treatment, to deliver reliable, efficient, and sustainable solutions. Ultimately, these customized, holistic solutions help power plants achieve compliance and advance sustainability goals while reducing costs and freeing up labor.
