Theme: Save Energy While You Save Water – Better Equipment and Better Strategies

The Annual Texas Water Forum is one of the highlights of TIEEP’s program. Due to the current restrictions on in-person meetings, the forum will be held as a webinar, 2:00 to 4:00 pm, May 7, 2020. Our theme this year is Save Energy While You Save Water – Better Equipment and Better Strategies. Water and energy are both essential in the process industries, and in all aspects of modern life. They require diligent management, and they are closely interconnected. Technology advances in water management have created opportunities to reduce the consumption of both of these resources simultaneously. Our Forum will explore new equipment and engineering approaches to accomplish this double objective.

Guest Speakers: Somnath Basu & Paul Sun, Headworks

Treatment of refinery wastewater streams can be challenging, due to the variability of their characteristics. This presentation will explain refinery wastewater treatment principles with the help of three case studies.

Energy Recovery Segment Assets

Guest Speaker: Juan Miguel Pinto, Energy Recovery

Desalination has become an important water source not only for several countries, but also for some private companies However, the cost of energy use in desalination can be prohibitive (> 50–60% of water total cost). The presentation will discuss a range of approaches to reducing energy consumption. in desalination systems.
