Level Measurement Precision In North American Oil Fracking

A newly discovered oil patch in western North America uses Siemens level technology during oil and natural gas extraction. SITRANS LR250 continuous radar for liquid level measurement plus Pointek CLS200 capacitance point level offer a winning combination in this application.

Produced Water Management: An Overlooked Subject In Academia

Water is one of the world's most critical natural resources, but too many people take it for granted, raising awareness of its importance — and complexities — is too often left out of public discourse. My recent visit to a few engineering colleges as a STEM ambassador made me realize that many engineering programs are offered today than when I went to school.

Super-Charged Wastewater Treatment And Energy Production

“Bioelectrochemistry” is a mouthful, but it’s a word you should get familiar with if your goal is sustainable, energy-efficient industrial wastewater treatment.

PepsiCo's Vision: Improving Water Wherever It Operates As Senior Director of Global Climate and Water Solutions for PepsiCo, Grant oversees a program that actually improves water conditions, rather than simply mitigating PepsiCo's own impact or embracing sustainability merely for efficiency/business benefits. In this Q&A, Grant details PepsiCo's philosophy on water stewardship, the elements of their ambitious water strategy, and the outcomes they hope to achieve.

Advancing Dairy Wastewater Treatment

To help you select the best wastewater treatment strategy for your dairy processing application, this white paper provides a helpful overview of some of the challenges you will encounter including biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), nitrogen and phosphorus removal.

Online Total Nitrogen Analysis Of Reverse Osmosis Reject Water Reduces Permit Compliance Expense By $350,000 Annually At Beverage Bottling Plant

Learn how a beverage plant cut its annual Reverse Osmosis reject water hauling volume by 50%. Real-time Total Nitrogen monitoring reduced compliance costs by $350,000 and eliminated discharge penalty risk.

Crusher Breaks Up Large Cakes Of Enzyme Products

American Laboratories, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of enzyme products for many food, dietary supplements, nutritional and industrial applications. The company has grown steadily, currently operating three facilities in Omaha, Nebraska. To keep pace with this expansion, the company realized, some years ago, that a more efficient way to process the enzyme material was necessary. After examining their options, they made a decision to purchase a Franklin Miller DELUMPER® Crusher 1077 S4.

A Roundup Of Energy, Water, And Climate Bills In The 84th Texas Legislative Session

We’ve almost made it to the midway point of the 84^th Session of the Texas Legislature. As many already know, the Texas Legislature only meets from January to May every other year, so a lot has to get done in these few months.

The Long Journey Of An Energy-Water Bill In Texas

Being an environmental advocate in Texas may seem like an uphill battle, and I make no bones about the fact it most certainly is.

Predicting The Impact Of EPA's Proposed Power Plant Effluent Limits

The EPA has proposed a regulation  that, if passed,  would set the first federal limits on the levels of toxic metals in wastewater discharged from power plants in over three decades.

DELUMPER® Aids in Polymer Production

Steel Fire Equipment in Ontario, Canada needed help with their polymer production. The plant produces polymer for fire extinguishers. The pneumatic production system processes chemicals that often clump and sometimes even form into stone. They needed a crusher that could break up these chunks or the material would not flow through the system and the entire process would come to a halt. Steel Fire also needed the machine to be able to handle their production rate of 3000 – 4000 pounds of material a day and be powerful enough to break up very hard chunks.

EPA And USDA Pledge Actions To Support America's Growing Water Quality Trading Markets

In September of 2015, EPA and USDA sponsored a three-day national workshop at the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute in Lincoln, Nebraska that brought together more than 200 experts and leaders representing the agricultural community, utilities, environmental NGOs, private investors, states, cities, and tribes to discuss how to expand the country’s small but growing water quality trading markets.

DELUMPER® Crusher Plays Important Role In Float Glass Production

Guardian Industries Corp.’s float glass plant in South Carolina was in search of a crusher to aid in their glass production process. They needed a unit that could break up the electrostatic precipitator material and prevent pneumatic transport plugs. Without the efficient breaking of these lumps, the process was interrupted, wasting time and money.

Water Is Food

Celebrating Earth Day always reminds me of the great Arthur C. Clarke's observation that we shouldn't have called our planet "earth," but "ocean" instead — after all, it's mostly water. The same is true of food: most food is literally largely water, and every morsel of our food figuratively floats on a sea of water that was necessary to produce it.

RENEWWRAP® Repairs And Strengthens Busy Bridge

Engineers from the Louisiana Department of Transportation (LADOT) identified a bridge that required flexural strengthening and repair of spalling concrete on the underside. The busy bridge is raised and lowered around 800 times a month so they needed to find a repair solution which would cause the least disruption to the bridge’s operation as possible.
