Increasingly, energy companies are turning to an innovative and natural solution for process water management -- growing useful crops. By land applying wastewater, energy producers can meet environmental requirements, save on treatment energy costs, and, in most instances, produce a revenue stream from the crop. Phosphorus and other nutrient levels in discharged water can also be a factor affecting energy producers. But thanks to CES' natural approach, even phosphorus can be turned into a competitive advantage. By irrigating a crop with process water, the phosphorus can be utilized as a plant-necessary fertilizer. This turns a surface water pollutant into a product. Energy producers, concerned with the temperature of discharged water are also turning to land application, especially during the warmer months of the year when river temperatures are critical for protection of endangered species. While high process water temperatures are viewed as a problem for surface water discharges, the heat in the water may be an asset when used to grow crops. In addition, the warm water helps start crop growth earlier in the spring and extends the active growing season in the fall. CES' energy clients are able to meet heir environmental requirements, save on energy costs, and, in most instances, produce a revenue stream from crops grown with recycled process water.
