The 330MW Wyodak Plant near Gillette, Wyo. is the world's largest air-cooled power plant and the largest plant to use secondary sewage treatment effluent as the primary source of water for all uses except domestic supply. These uses include ash sluicing, fire protection, auxiliary cooling, and boiler cycle makeup, with each use requiring different treatments. The water treatments used to reduce organic matter, suspended and dissolved solids included chlorination, filtration, reverse osmosis and demineralization. This system's performance has shown the feasibility of using sewage treatment effluent as a reliable water source for power plants. (LCL)
