The Water Consumption Diagram

The left side of the diagram contains a single value:

•Water Consumption: This is the total amount of water consumed across the entire plant including associated environmental control technologies.

The right side of the screen shows a breakdown of water lost through evaporation:

•FGD: This is the amount of evaporation water in FGD when it is loaded.

•Wet Tower: This is the amount of evaporation and drift losses in the wet tower when the wet cooling tower system is loaded.

•CCS: This is the amount of evaporation loss in the CO2 capture system.
