Offshore Platform Fire Safety Sprinkler System Depends On Liquid Flow Assurance Switch

Offshore platforms around the globe are essential to the production of oil/gas and the global energy supply chain, but they represent a daily hazardous operating environment to the employees that work there 24-x-7. The potential dangers range from a mix of toxic and combustible gases, including, but not limited to, deadly hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to explosive methane (CH4), and other mixed hydrocarbon gases that are easily flammable.

Del Monte Foods Saves Millions With BlueInGreen's SDOX Solution

Plant managers at Del Monte Foods in Siloam Springs, Ark. utilized a 14 million gallon facultative lagoon to provide treatment before applying the effluent on 500 acres of land nearby. However, the facultative lagoon was unable to meet the municipal pretreatment permit requirements, resulting in surcharges of $450,000 per month. Read the full case study to learn more. 

Increasing Water Shortage To Boost Wastewater Recovery Systems Market

With the worsening scenario of water scarcity across major world economies, the need for deploying wastewater recovery systems stands crucial to ensure the availability of fresh water among the masses.

4 Benefits Of Electrocoagulation For Beverage Food 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.

A New Approach To Early Biofilm Detection

To assist industrial operators in managing and preventing biofilm, Italian start-up ALVIM Srl created a monitoring system that provides early warning detection of bacterial biofilm growing on pipelines, tanks, heat exchangers, RO membranes, and other equipment.

Cryptocurrency And Water

With the meltdown of FTX and the price of Bitcoin sinking to a quarter of its high water mark of over $64,000 in value (now maybe two bit Bitcoin?), I decided to resurrect my 2018 post Is Cryptocurrency Going Down the Drain?...

Maximum Water Reuse, Zero Liquid Discharge — A Power Plant Case Study

ELCOGAS, established in 1992 with the aim of building and operating a 335 MW Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant as well as the commercialization of its technology.

Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 3: Operation And Monitoring

Reverse osmosis (RO) systems offer power plant owners and operators a reliable and well-proven water treatment solution. However, designing and caring for an RO system requires a thorough understanding of a plant’s water supply and the technology’s capabilities. The final article of this three-part series will address RO system operation and maintenance best practices.

Secondary Containment Requirements For Aboveground Storage Tanks

Read about aboveground storage tanks, which are a common sight in manufacturing across the United States. 

How To Remove PFOA And PFOS

The Water Research Foundation has released the results of a study testing the most effective method for treating PFOA and PFOS in drinking water.

Which Is The Better Choice For pH Adjustment In Aquatics Facilities, Liquid Acid Or CO2?

Aquatics systems managers are increasingly turning to carbon dioxide (CO2) dosing for pH control. CO2 has a number of benefits that make it an appealing alternative (or addition) for pH balancing.

Spanish Fork City Irrigation Project

The city of Spanish Fork authorized building a water storage reservoir that serves as both a buffer for supplementing peak period water usage and as a recreational facility. Learn how Amiad's filters played a part.

Circuit Board Cleanliness Testing

Contamination of circuit boards can bring about severe degradation of insulation resistance and dielectric strength. Cleanliness of completed circuit boards is, therefore, of vital interest. For those companies who have established circuit board cleaning procedures, the MIL Spec P-28809 has been used as a guideline for control. Now a simple "on line" test for the relative measurement of ionic contamination has been developed.

No Grey Area To This Issue: Slimes Of All Colours Can Cause Costly Problems In Papermaking Processes

Pink, orange, red, brown and grey – paper mill slimes can come in an endless range of colours.  What contributes to these variances in colour? Microorganisms.  Different species – which live within a slime – produce different hues.  Unfortunately, you won’t find gold at the end of that rainbow.  In fact, it’s quite the contrary, as slime can pose costly problems for papermaking facilities.
