Calpine
Operating Services Company

Schreuder,
Inc. was hired by Calpine Operating Services Company to develop a
Water
Management Plan for the Auburndale Power Plant in Polk
County, FL. Within this Plan
was a request for a renewal of an annual average of 1,326,300 gallons per day (gpd)
with a peak month of
1,894,700
gpd.
The
renewal of the WUP utilized two 16-inch Floridan wells and maintained one 6-inch
Floridan well as a standby monitor well. The
water is to be utilized as makeup water for the cooling tower, evaporative
cooling and wet compression, emission control, steam sales, fire protection,
irrigation, and other miscellaneous water uses.
The
APP is a zero-discharge plant.
This means that all water that is used in the plant is cleaned and reused
by the plant.
Well water is not pumped into percolation ponds, injected into the
ground, or dispersed into any body of water.
The only means for water to leave the plant is by evaporation (cooling
towers and evaporative cooler), steam sales, and steam injected into the
combustion turbine to control emissions, which goes into the atmosphere.
