OriginClear Inc. Total Outsourced Water™, has announced that a large US power utility has signed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with its subsidiary, Progressive Water Treatment (PWT), for water filtration systems that will provide process water at three power plants.
OriginClear COO Tom Marchesello said: “We believe this contract reflects the excellent reputation enjoyed by PWT over 25 years for versatility in water engineering, and the extremely hard work by President of Sales, Mike Jenkins. While we expect the overall contract to take up to two years to deliver, it is a major leap forward.”
The new water treatment systems will be responsible for providing process water for the power plants. All new equipment will be placed in the current water treatment facilities. PWT will be responsible for providing new equipment that meets each location’s water flow rate and quality requirements as well as providing installation services of new equipment. The primary processes used will be Ultrafiltration, Reverse Osmosis and Electro Deionization (UF/RO/EDI). Electro Deionization is a chemical-free way to achieve ultrapure water in a number of markets including electronics, pharmaceuticals and power generation.
For PWT, this contract represents a return to large power plant contracts. In 2015, before it was acquired by OriginClear, PWT reports that it supplied a water treatment system for the same power company. In 2016, Minnesota-based public utility Xcel Energy awarded PWT a contract for a boiler feedwater treatment system; a power plant in the Northeast awarded PWT a contract; and in the same year, PWT completed the installation and successful launch of a twin 300 gallon per minute ultra-filtration membrane system for Otter Tail Power Company at its Coyote Station in Beulah, North Dakota.
PWT President, Marc Stevens said: “We’re very happy with this new contract with a power utility. We expect that this will build on already strong business in the company.”
