WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

  • Innovation In Applying Existing Technology Solutions

    A long-standing staple — water — is rapidly becoming a major issue for companies, not merely as a risk or line item expense, but for the potential it has to significantly impact shareholder value.  

  • IIoT Top News: Oil And Gas Early Adopters

    In the latest IIoT Top News, we’ll take a look at some trending stories from the oil and gas industry, a quickly growing user of the Industrial Internet of Things.

  • Flow Meter Helps HollyFrontier's Woods Cross Refinery Measure Flare Gas For Safety And Environmental Compliance

    When the plant team at HollyFrontier’s Woods Cross Refinery, near Bountiful, Utah, needed mass flow meters to measure flare gas to the main flare header, the team drew on its past metering experiences for this difficult application.

  • Onshore Crude Oil Decontamination Using A Water Security Test Bed

    Onshore crude oil production has increased in the United States over the past few years. Oil producers, specifically the North Dakota Pipeline Authority and the Bakken Shale field producers are transporting crude oil by rail and train to both the East and West Coast oil refineries. While rail tends to be one of the safer and more efficient ways of transporting crude oil, there is still a risk of a spill. Oil spills are threats to both ground and surface waters, which can ultimately impact drinking water.

  • Importance Of Filtration in Water Treatment For Process Water & Wastewater Reuse

    Filtration is very important for many commercial/industrial process water & wastewater reuse applications. In reality, pumping wastewater from somewhere like a refinery, food/beverage, textile or oil produced water application requires pre-filtration due to high amount of suspended solids in these typical applications. In fact, there are typically several filtration and treatment steps in these applications to ensure that the treated water meets the required discharge or reuse standard. In addition, filtration in water treatment ensures reduced operating cost on downstream polishing water treatment systems.

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

  • Building A Brewing Process Worth Toasting To

    Brewing beer is both an art and a science. Beer needs to taste good, but it also must look good, be protected from spoilage, and come from a brewing process that’s reliable and efficient, minimizing product waste to maximize what gets into the bottle.

    Due to new rules proposed by the FDA, monitoring services and new pumps will likely be shopping-list items for food processors.

  • Autolyzed Excess Yeast: Control Breweries Energy Footprint

    Beer brewing and processing is complex and energy intensive. And despite significant technological improvements, energy consumption remains a major environmental challenge in the brewing industry, together with wastewater and produced byproducts.

  • Arsenic Contamination Of Food And Water Is A Global Public Health Concern — Researchers Are Studying How It Causes Cancer

    Arsenic is a naturally occurring element found in the Earth’s crust. Exposure to arsenic, often through contaminated food and water, is associated with various negative health effects. We study it can lead to cancer through the formation of cancer stem cells.

  • Preventing Waterborne Risks In Times of Crisis — Legionella Special Session Brings Together Experts

    The elevated risk of Legionella contamination in closed facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for water safety plans for buildings of all sizes and functions to prevent further public health hazards.

  • EPA Develops National Picture Of Underground Storage Tank Facilities And Leaking Underground Storage Tank Sites

    More than 500,000 underground storage tanks (USTs) can be found in communities across the country, storing petroleum and other hazardous substances. Leaks or spills of these substances can contaminate the surrounding soil and groundwater, which can compromise public and private drinking water supplies. These toxic chemical releases can pose serious health, economic, and environmental risks to nearby residents.

  • Seawater Desalination Using RO Membranes To Support A Thriving Agricultural Economy

    As the agriculture economy boomed, needs for freshwater demanded by irrigation, tourism and the local community also grew in Campo de Dalías, a coastal region on the Mediterranean Sea. As a result, the region faced overexploitation of groundwater aquifers. Read the full case study to learn how Toray was selected as the sole membrane supplier for a two-pass system for a newly implemented national desalination plan.

  • From Drought To Deluge: Gauging The Impact Of Western Rains For a number of years now, we have heard of dwindling water supplies in the western part of the U.S., but 2023 brought "atmospheric rivers" that (literally) flooded the Golden State and filled 12 of its 17 major reservoirs above their historical averages for the start of spring. It's a double-edged sword when such extreme weather arises, and obviously important to learn from the experience to better prepare for future events and plan for both resiliency and sustainability.
  • Chromium Treatment

    A U.S. light aircraft manufacturing company uses an alkaline cleaner followed by an alkaline de-smutter, rinse, acid de-smutter (possibly using potassium permanganate), rinse, alodine, and a final rinse. The three 1,700 gal rinses are dumped approximately once each week, or more often, based on the pH.
