Xcel Energy has awarded Progressive Water Treatment Inc., a subsidiary of OriginClear Inc., a large-scale contract for a boiler feedwater treatment system. The contract totals nearly two million dollars and uniquely utilizes all Dow Chemical products, including ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO) and electrodeionization (EDI) processes.

“We’ve found that our happy customers are also repeat customers. Xcel Energy is a longtime client of Progressive Water Treatment. This new contract is for one of Xcel’s power plants in Texas. The nearly $2 million project involves treating a site groundwater source for high pressure boiler feed make-up. The primary processes that will be used to treat the ground water are UF, RO and EDI, all sourced from Dow Chemical,” said Marc Stevens, president of Progressive Water Treatment.

“Dow and Progressive Water Treatment have partnered to develop several treatment systems over the past 12 years. PWT was the first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in North America to design and build a system using 100 percent Dow UF, RO and EDI products. We’re addressing industry standards for better quality and reliability and we’re looking forward to serve as the supplier on this new contract,” said Tom McCandless, senior account manager at Dow Chemical.

“We believe this contract, and numerous others like it, validates OriginClear’s decision to acquire Progressive Water Treatment. Our strategy, to build a group of water treatment service companies that serve all water-intensive industries and regions, is well underway. We intend to complete our second water services acquisition this year and we are in discussion with several other companies,” said Bill Charneski, president of the OriginClear Group.

“With regulations relating to wastewater treatment and discharge growing ever-more stringent and the cost of sourcing water continually rising, operators of industrial plants are seeking full water management services to provide cost-effective solutions that maximize water and energy efficiency, allowing them to focus on their core production businesses,” said Global Water Intelligence.
