Power quality and energy consumption are closely linked to overall building performance. Yet, building managers often focus more on mechanical equipment operations. However, power problems are responsible for more than half of equipment downtime in most buildings. This paper reviews how adding power management to BMS capabilities can reduce energy costs and improve building performance while also enhancing occupant comfort.

Power plants generating steam balance cost, efficiency, and reliability with environmental considerations while supplying energy to the world. Degasified water plays a critical role in generating the energy used to heat and cool homes and businesses while protecting vital capital equipment.

One of the most commonly used FGD technologies for scrubbing pollutants from power plant gas emissions is a limestone forced oxidation (LSFO) scrubber system. In this process, many pollutants end up in the circulating water in the scrubber.
