Description
Raw water is required for supply to water treatment equipment for boiler-turbine cycle water fill and makeup, water treatment equipment backwash, plant service water, domestic (potable) water, ash conditioning, cooling tower system fill and makeup, and fire protection. Consider the use of a raw water storage tank if necessary to back up any uncertainties in water supply or for firefighting. Provide in-plant overhead tank or outdoor elevated tank for pressurization of distribution system, or consider the use of a pneumatic ground floor level pressurized system.
