Chemical Reductions

Innovative Measures

At our Norwalk Harbor, Dover and El Segundo facilities in Connecticut, Delaware and California, respectively, we pursued an innovative method to reduce the amount of chemicals required to treat discharged water. In these locations, we've implemented the use of an ultrasonic frequency, effectively controlling algae in wastewater and significantly reducing the amount of chemicals needed in the process.

Mosquito Repellent

In Texas, shallow water around the bay that provides cooling water for NRG's SR Bertron station is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Rather than use a chemical control, we researched and implemented a natural garlic product that is sprayed directly on vegetation to repel mosquitoes.
