Wastewater treatment is an increasingly complex and resource intensive process. Many operators of wastewater processing plants have been looking for ways to lower their OPEX costs while using less resources and reducing the carbon print to carry out their cleaning process. Three systems have been developed and installed in the last two years to treat …
Delingha: A Leap for Molten Salt Tower Concentrated Solar Power Technology
The 50-MW Delingha concentrated solar power tower plant located on the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau in China was developed, built, and continues to be refined by a company dedicated to solar tower technology research. China, a country that has added more than 200 GW of solar photovoltaic capacity over the last decade, in 2016 pushed developers …

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and Thermal Energy Storage
The solar radiation from sun is the source of all natural forms of energy on earth. However, most of the incoming solar radiation is reflected back into outer space. The radiation reaching the earth’s surface has three components namely, visible light, ultraviolet and infrared radiation. About 40-45% of the received solar radiation lies in the …
