You want to maintain system reliability while protecting your equipment and reducing your operating costs. When you call on GE Water & Process Technologies, you get effective boiler chemical treatments along with access to other solutions tailored for your entire operation:
Drawing on 30 years of experience in the industry, GE works closely with you to provide solutions to your most pressing process needs:
GE's Boiler Solutions bundles boiler chemicals, water treatment equipment, and services into one package to meet your specific feedwater requirements.
Feedwater treatment chemicals scavenge oxygen and reduce corrosion in the feedwater circuit - protecting the equipment against damage and reducing the potential for unscheduled downtime. These treatments also reduce the amount of metal oxides entering the boiler to maintain clean boiler tube surfaces and improve fuel efficiency.
Boiler internal treatment chemicals maintain clean boiler tube surfaces and minimize corrosion - reducing the chance of overheating or failure. Control of corrosion and deposition helps increase plant reliability and availability, protects equipment, and reduces maintenance and fuel costs. In addition to controlling deposition and reducing corrosion, some treatment chemicals can reduce the tendency for boiler water to carry over to the steam - protecting superheaters and steam turbines from damage.
Fuel treatment chemicals can reduce deposition or slagging and improve combustion. They help protect equipment from failure due to corrosion, increase fuel efficiency, and minimize maintenance costs. Fuel treatment chemicals may also help you meet important environmental regulations. The choice of which chemical to use depends on the type of fuel and the goals of the treatment.

Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane performance can be negatively impacted by impurities that build up on the membrane surface during operations. Suspended solids, microorganisms and mineral scale can foul membrane elements. These deposits can cause loss in output and/or rejection levels and reduce total system performance.
GE Water & Process Technologies offers a wide array of products to help you improve the performance of your membranes:
Coagulants and flocculants from GE can increase prefiltration efficiency and help improve productivity in membrane systems for worry-free RO feedwater.
The Hypersperse™ pretreatment program from GE is designed to eliminate scale and reduce fouling in membrane systems, regardless of the feedwater source.
GE Water Technologies' line of dechlorination products include a convenient, ready to use formulation which is NSF approved for potable applications and an economical dry formulation for on-site preparation.
Successful membrane cleaning relies on both the effectiveness of the cleaning compounds and the design and operation of the cleaning equipment. GE can offer suggestions on cleaning system design and cleaning procedures to ensure the most effective results.
Effective control of bacterial growth and slime.
Water Treatment Equipment
Equipment from GE Water & Process Technologies ensures top performance from your treatment and production processes. GE systems perform reliably and cost-effectively to achieve your critical goals.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is used to reduce dissolved solids from feed waters with salinities up to 45,000 ppm TDS (total dissolved solids). Municipalities and industrial facilities are able to use RO permeate as a consistently pure drinking water supply and to transform drinking water to high purity water for industrial use at microelectronics, food and beverage, power, and pharmaceutical facilities. The technology is also very effective at removing bacteria, pyrogens, and organic contaminants.
Electrodialysis (ED), is an electrochemical separation process in which ions are transferred through ion exchange membranes by means of direct current (DC) voltage. In the ED process, ions are removed from the feed water as the current drives the ions through the membranes to desalinate the process stream.
Electrodeionization (EDI) is a mature electrically driven membrane demineralization process used to refine industrial process water to ultra-high purity for use in the power, microelectronics, food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and other industries. GE's EDI systems utilize high-capacity ion exchange membranes to remove not only residual salts but also ionizable aqueous species such as carbon dioxide, silica, ammonia and boron.
Many filtration technologies are both sustainable and energy efficient in removing suspended solids, turbidity, viruses, and pathogens from water. GE Water & Process Technologies understands your needs because we build, own, and operate our own treatment plants, including the largest ultrafiltration plants in the world.
GE Water & Process Technologies helps you save money, reduce your environmental footprint, and even achieve zero liquid discharge, with thermal/evaporative treatments for industrial wastewaters.
These technologies can help you recover high-purity water from a wide variety of waste streams for numerous in-plant uses. In some cases you can also capture valuable by-products and sell them to offset your costs - instead of sending them to the drain.
To keep your treatment system operating at peak efficiency, call the GE Water Parts Pipeline (GEWPP) for all of your replacement parts and supplies. From proprietary electrodialysis reversal (EDR) membranes to simple filter replacements, GEWPP has the technical expertise and distribution experience to get you the right part, with the urgency and knowledge you expect.

Water Scarcity Relief and Water Recovery
WATER SCARCITY RELIEF (DESALINATION AND WATER REUSE)
Abundant Fresh Water for a Thirsty World
Scarcity of fresh water has serious implications. It can slow or stop economic expansion, reduce agricultural output, hamper food independence, and degrade public health and quality of life. Water scarcity relief programs from GE Water & Process Technologies help businesses, communities and nations ensure abundant water supplies at reasonable cost. Our programs include:
Conservation and Reuse
GE built the Sulaibiya Project in Kuwait, the world's largest membrane-based wastewater reclaim facility. We also work with industry and public policy leaders to raise awareness of the need to protect water sources.
Sustainable Supply
We have the world's largest installed base of desalination systems for seawater and brackish waters. GE equipped and operates the largest seawater desalting facility in the Western Hemisphere in Trinidad. In 2007, we will commission the Hamma Project in Algeria, the largest desalination project in Africa.
Urgent Capacity
We operate the world's largest mobile desalination fleet for critical peak demands and emergencies. Our mobile water units aided victims of the 2004 Asian tsunami. We also helped a Thailand chemical plant avoid a production shutdown despite a chronic fresh water shortage.
Reclaiming, Recycling and Purifying Industrial Water
It's like finding a new source of affordable water for your processes: reclaiming water from condensate, rinsing operations, and low-solid effluents. The innovative combination of membrane, chemical and physical purification methods from GE Water & Process Technologies can extract the hidden value from your process and waste streams - generating savings while helping the environment.
Our unique technologies can help you economically recycle water and even achieve zero liquid discharge. Offerings include:
GE can help you recover up to 90 percent of the volume of wastewaters that would otherwise be lost through discharge. While conventional membranes operate at up to 110°F, our advanced membranes can perform at up to 170°F (77°C), enabling you to purify hot condensate and conserve up to 75 percent of its energy. Our advanced dual membrane technology combines multiple barrier membrane engineering and chemistry to achieve a robust economical solution to reclaiming clarified effluents.
With GE's advanced water recovery technologies, you can gain value from your process, reduce wastewater discharges, and improve your operations.
