Home » Corrosion Inhibitor Helps Russian Power Plant Save $120,000 in Cooling Water Costs
A gas-fired power plant in the Samara area of the Volga region of Russia saved 1.3 million gallons of water annually and reduced water consumption enough to save $120,000 annually by using GE’s AZ8101 corrosion-inhibitor technology. TEC VAZ VoTGK also decreased the rate of copper corrosion by 20 times and reduced the amount of copper being discharged into the Volga River by four times, says GE.
In recognition of its reductions in water usage and decreased corrosion, GE awarded TEC VAZ VoTGK an Ecomaginaton award, which recognizes the achievements of industrial users for striking a balance among environmental, industrial and sustainability challenges. It is given to the top GE customers in environmental and economic performance.
