Effluent water from gas turbines

Why effluent water treatment matters

Water is the source of all life and protecting it is a shared responsibility. In gas turbine power plants, wastewater generated during operation must be treated before discharge to meet strict national and international environmental regulations. One key requirement: the oil content in effluent water must not exceed 15 ppm. In some regions, even lower thresholds apply. 

Although 15 parts per million may sound minimal, this level of contamination can still harm ecosystems. In practice, many conventional treatment systems struggle to consistently meet this limit under real-world conditions. That’s why GEA believes: 15 ppm is still too much.
