Power Plants
Gypsum & Fly Ash Dewatering for Power Plants
Coal-fired, natural gas and nuclear power plants manage some of the largest and most heavily regulated water and solids streams in industry. These include FGD scrubber wastewater and gypsum, fly ash and bottom ash, and the ponds and channels where sediment builds up over time. With CCR and effluent guideline rules driving pond closures, tighter discharge limits and the push toward zero liquid discharge (ZLD), plants need reliable partners who can keep operations running while they manage these materials. ECOR provides on-site gypsum and ash dewatering, hydraulic dredging, wastewater treatment and remediation services for power generation facilities.
Our team brings company-owned mobile equipment and 24/7 staffing to every project, from routine pond maintenance to large-scale ash pond closures.
