Power Industry

Power plants use large volumes of water, and how efficiently this water can be reused is a major factor affecting costs and environmental impact. However, various impurities enter the water during plant operation, hindering its reuse.

Microza® high-performance MF membranes reliably remove impurities from wastewater, enabling water reuse and closed-loop water management within power plants. This significantly reduces the cost and environmental burden associated with the use of large volumes of purified water, contributing to sustainable power generation.

Nuclear power generation is one of the main pillars supporting the growing global demand for electricity. Compared to thermal power generation, CO₂ emissions are lower, making it more environmentally friendly, but it also presents challenges such as the generation of radioactive iron cladding and radioactive wastewater.

Microza® MF membranes safely and efficiently remove radioactive substances such as radioactive iron cladding found in condensate, enabling the reuse of purified water within nuclear power plants. In particular, they play a vital role in water treatment flows at BWR (Boiling Water Reactor) nuclear power plants by removing radioactive materials at each stage of the condensate system, thereby enhancing operational stability and safety.

Microza® is also applicable not only in nuclear power generation, but also in make-up water purification and condensate treatment in thermal power plants.
