Nationwide Water Shortages Demand New Innovative Solutions In Clean Water

In the spring of 2019, U.S. government-funded research on watersheds revealed a dire outlook for the future of water availability in the United States. Between population growth and climate change, the study reports that “serious water shortages'' are likely to occur within the next 55 years.

New PA Law Puts Mine Water To Work

Mines throughout Pennsylvania contain millions of gallons of contaminated water, putting thousands of stream miles at risk.

Cooling Tower Filtration For Oil And Gas Company

Ambient dust from construction and from the environment was contaminating the campus cooling tower system resulting in contamination buildup in the cooling tower equipment. This required significant labor hours to clean and frequent blowdown, resulting in higher water usage than was desired.

Where Is RF Technology For Oil And Gas Headed?

Read for a quick snapshot of the technology movement we are seeing in the oil and gas industry right now.

The Role Of Aeration In Optimal Yeast And Enzyme Production

Installing the most appropriate blower equipment in the process can enhance yeast and enzyme production, minimize energy costs, guarantee food safety, and avoid costly failures.

Meat Processing Companies: Benefits Of Electrocoagulation

While vegetarianism and veganism have both grown in popularity in the past decade, vegans and vegetarians combined are vastly outnumbered by people who love meat. In the United States, where we have hot-dog-eating contests and food-eating challenges, we consume a lot of meat of all types. Therefore, meat-processing water treatment is required to package and process these foods within the U.S. and across the world.

How To Maximize Microbrewery Production Lines

A microbrewer’s expertise is in brewing, not engineering. Discover how you can get the most out of production lines without the costs associated with hiring outside engineers or experts.

Major Pork Producer Saves Project Money With S&L Pump Station

When a major pork producer sought cost-effective pumping solutions to one of its Kansas facility's wastewater systems, the search led to the installation of a Smith & Loveless above-grade pump station.

Achieving Ultrapure Water

It may sound intimidating, but water that has been treated to “ultrapure” condition is more than necessary in many applications. This highly-cleansed product is a fundamental part of many industrial operations, from the medicine we need to get well to the power we rely on in our daily lives. But, as the name implies, it’s no small task to get average influent to the ultrapure level.

4 Safety Considerations For Anyone Storing, Handling, or Transporting Substances

Substances regulated or substances unregulated may ultimately impact the environment, health, and water supply of others. The following safety considerations are advised for those who store, handle, or transport potentially dangerous substances.

Changxing Power Plant Debuts The World's First Forward Osmosis-Based Zero Liquid Discharge Application

Desalination Technology Transforms 650 m3/day of Abused Industrial Wastewater

Pile Cloth Media Filtration For Clean Utilities

Cooling towers and boilers consume the most fresh water in the industry, with industrial process waters carrying the balance. Power plants and refineries use more water volume for the cooling process than any other area of the facility. Mining and food and beverage industries consume higher volumes for their processes. Clean water may come from a range of sources, including clarified surface waters, groundwater or properly treated wastewater (reuse) sources.
