Coriolis Meters For CaCO3 Measurement: The Right Answer To A Tough Challenge

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is used in everything from agriculture to pharmaceuticals, but the most common way of manufacturing this everyday chemical presents a tricky measurement challenge, because it involves precipitation to form a course, abrasive slurry.

City Of St. Cloud Relies On Thermal Flow Meters For Digester Biofuel Co-Gen Power Process

The City of St. Cloud, Minnesota, straddles the Mississippi River near the center of the state a little more than 65 miles north of the twin cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul. The city’s forward thinking staff began looking for sustainable green energy solutions in 2003. After planning and initiating a series of projects over several years, the site is today producing renewable energy with a 20 kW rooftop solar array, a 220 kW solar array and biofuels electricity generation.

How Natural Light Can Separate Oil From Wastewater

Researchers at MIT have developed a system that uses visible light to treat produced water, a potential economic and environmental savior for the oil and gas industry.

4 Benefits Of Electrocoagulation For Food And Beverage Wastewater Treatment

With a global population of over seven billion people, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of companies in the world that produce the food and beverages that are needed to meet this global demand. These companies require massive amounts of water to produce their products, and those products result in equal amounts of wastewater. It’s simple enough to just discharge the wastewater into a nearby stream or surface water source and be finished with it. However, with constantly changing environmental regulations and pressure to be more environmentally conscious, food and beverage companies face increasing requirements of beverage and food wastewater treatment.

Wastewater Management In The Food Industry Food production not only uses a lot of water in their products, but they also deal with unique wastewater challenges. These challenges are compounded by the varying nature of contaminants present in food & beverage wastewater. Treatment facilities must be designed to handle fluctuating volumes and compositions of wastewater, while maintaining consistent performance.

Making The Best Of A Bad O₂ Situation

A balanced wastewater process is a beautiful thing — plenty of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), plenty of O₂, and all those hungry little microbes are fat and happy. But what can be done when dissolved oxygen (DO) takes a nosedive and there’s not enough O₂ to satisfy industrial and food processing BOD? Here are some preparations to consider before wastewater treatment goes completely out of whack.

Milk Waste - BOD, FOG, PO4

A milk producer operates an evaporated milk production facility that generates an average of 58,000 gpd of contaminated water with spikes of 1,200 gallons up to 12 times per day. Two 2,000 gallon batch tanks are used for pH adjustment before discharge. Most of the flow goes through the tanks.

Webinar: Newterra's Dispersed Air Flotation (DAF)

Microfloat Dispersed Air Flotation (DAF) System is an effective, affordable, and reliable physical/chemical pre-treatment technology for removing up to 90% free-floating FOG, 60% TSS, and 30% BOD*– all at a much lower cost than traditional DAF systems.

If Israel Can Find Common Ground Around The Environment, Why Can't Texas?

Deep in the Israeli desert is an academic institute that is building peace in the region by putting nature at its center. The Arava Institute, in partnership with Ben Gurion University, brings students from Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and around the world to find common ground around environmental problems and build trust — and peace — from there.

A Promise To Our Children To Save Water In Texas

It’s no secret that Texas is currently in the midst of a multi-year drought – yet the vast majority of our electricity comes from sources that contribute to this prolonged drought, namely coal, nuclear, and natural gas. All of these energy sources require copious amounts of water to produce electricity.

3M™ High Flow HFR Series Filter Cartridge Customer Success Stories

Reverse osmosis (RO) pre-treatment is used in industrial water filtration to protect the RO membranes, high pressure pumps and other hardware. The performance of pre-filters matters and can impact your operation, in terms of efficiency and water quality.

The Energy Reality Behind Cape Town's Water Crisis — And Why The U.S. Should Care

In Cape Town, South Africa, the countdown is on for Day Zero when water taps in the city of 4 million people are expected to run dry.

Water: The Unsung Hero Of The AI Boom Water, the lifeblood of everything, also powers artificial intelligence. Here's how we can enjoy both in abundance.

Oxygen On Demand: How A Gulf Coast Refinery Overcame High COD Challenges With A Rapid H2O2 Dosing System

The Gulf Coast Refinery approached USP Technologies (USP) to engineer a bulk H2O2 chemical dosing system sized to meet the plant’s D.O. demand

7 Common Pump Failures In Manufacturing Plants, And How To Prevent Them Water pumps are the quiet workhorses of manufacturing plants, as they support everything from cooling and boiler feed systems to handling wastewater and chemical processing. When water pumps run reliably, operations stay on schedule. However, when they fail, disruptions can quickly spread across an entire facility.
