Project 1: Flue Gas Desulfurized (FGD) Effluent Treatment and Resource Recovery

Funding Agency: Department of Energy, USA

Project PI: Lian-Shin Lin, Ph.D., PE.

Project Description: Treating coal-fired powerplant generated FGD effluent in a novel way water and resource recovery that is both cost-effective and comply with the effluent limitation guidelines.

Project 2: Cooling Blowdown (BD) Water and Produced Water (PW) Co-treatment and Resource Recovery

Funding Agency: Department of Energy, USA

Project PI: Lian-Shin Lin, Ph.D., PE.

Project Description: Treating BD water by introducing Shale Gas PW which are both chemical - and energy-efficient. This project aims to recycle permeate (low-saline) water and extract ten-pound brine (i.e., saturated NaCl).
