Chinese power plant overcomes challenges of seawater for use as process water
Water is a notoriously scarce resource in northern China, a situation that has forced many industries in the region to turn to desalination for process water. Located in HeBei province close to the Bohai Sea, the WangTan Power Plant has a 2x600MW capacity. The Bohai Sea has high turbidity that fluctuates greatly with wind and tides, which makes the waters extremely challenging to purify.
