  • The Big Fracking Question: Is Drinking Water At Risk?

    Understanding the impacts of hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) on source water, in both quantity and quality, is of vital importance to industry, the economy, and society. The latest research on the subject is presented, along with possible solutions to help overcome known and potential problems.

  • Valve Health Diagnostics

    Valves are one of the most common assets in the process industry, spanning all verticals. Chemicals, refineries, and petrochemicals, however, will find improved valve health diagnostics useful for critical valves and controllers in their plants, while upstream and midstream oil and gas companies may be focused on much larger, critical valves like pipeline or subsea valves. Using Seeq, process manufacturers are able to implement a condition-based monitoring analysis to monitor valve health across an entire fleet. Engineers can utilize the historical data to accurately create a predictive maintenance forecast and preemptively detect valve failures before they occur.

  • Blowback From Flowback: Push For Groundwater Alternatives

    About 50 percent of the nation’s residents source their fresh water supply from groundwater wells, which have deteriorated throughout the U.S. over the past decade. For shallow wells, severe drought conditions have gradually depleted groundwater levels.

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

  • Environmentally Sustainable Waste/Wastewater Treatment System For Leading Snack Manufacturer

    Jack Link’s, a leading protein snack producer, was in need of a water treatment solution at its facility in Alpena, South Dakota.

  • Optimal Ultrafiltration Uses For Beverage Dairy Companies

    When you’re sipping on a cold soda or snacking on a creamy piece of cheese, you probably don’t really think about what went into making your food or beverage. Maybe, you already know because you saw a random episode of ‘How its Made’ on TV discussing ultrafiltration uses in the beverage industry while your were channel surfing on a lazy afternoon. Either way, aside from the automated production line machines, one of the most important things that goes into the making of any soda, juice, wheel of cheese, or gallon of milk is water. Producing beverages and dairy products use substantial amounts of water in their production processes.

  • Springdale, Arkansas, Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators Call Headworks Screens 'Bulletproof'

    The Poultry Capital of the World is a city in northwest Arkansas in the heart of the Ozark Mountain range. Springdale, Arkansas, the fourth largest city in the state, is the headquarters for Tyson Food Corporation, the world's largest meat-producing company. The city was founded in the mid-1800s and has been a hub for agriculture and industry in the region since then. In addition, the region is home to outdoors activities like fishing, hunting, camping, boating, etc., and the natural, outdoors life is enjoyed by many residents as well as visitors to the area.

  • 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.
  • Tap Vs. Bottled Taste Test: Consumers Weigh In

    DC Water’s taste test shines the spotlight on municipal water quality, public perception, and consumer relations.

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE POWER GENERATION INDUSTRY

  • If We Don't Talk About Water, Are We Really Talking About Resiliency?

    Energy Secretary Rick Perry is trying to prop up coal and nuclear companies under the guise of enhanced “resiliency.” The Department of Energy’s (DOE) proposal does not define resiliency, nor does it even make clear what resiliency means in the context of the electric grid.

  • Automatic Self-Cleaning Scraper Strainers Filter Smallest Particles To Largest Debris

    Unlike backwash systems, scraper strainers reliably resist clogging and fouling when faced with micron-sized particles, oversized solids, and high solids concentration.

  • Desalination And Power Plants—An Ideal Partnership?

    A partnership between power and desalination plants may be the solution to drinking water scarcity. Researchers are working on a new system that can create potable water using a low-temperature desalination process powered by waste heat from a waterless power plant cooling system. 

  • Applications Of Calcium Hypochlorite In Cooling Towers

    Calcium hypochlorite is a low-cost, solid biocide option for treating cooling towers. This white paper reviews points of consideration when making a selection for a cooling tower water treatment program and highlights advantages to utilizing calcium hypochlorite as a biocide. 

  • 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?...

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR INDUSTRY

INDUSTRIAL WATER AND WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

Veolia Water Technologies has developed QuenchFlow™, a unique, effective and economical integrated treatment system to clean the contaminated quench water generated from ethylene production operations.

The non-intrusive element of the EL System allows product to flow through the meter without concern of clogging. This rugged electromagnetic flowmeter is designed specifically for conductive fluids, including slurries. This system combines the MC608 transmitter with Flow Technology’s EL Series of electromagnetic flowmeters that represent the state-of-the-art for accurate measurement in water cycle and process applications.

We continuously strive to make the safest and most effective cleaners on the market. Our Mighty Mike® cleaners were originally designed to comply with required strict effluent standards of the marine marketplace and textile industries. Cleaners must comply to biodegradable standards for use with biological wastewater/sewage treatment systems to not cause upset conditions for treatment water quality.

Veolia Water Technologies provides clients with mobile water solutions utilizing High Recovery Reverse Osmosis technology. With applications in water scarce areas, or where wastewater regulations restrict discharge, Veolia’s Closed Circuit Desalination (CCD™)* RO technology allows customers to recover up to 96% of the influent flow.

The compact QCT Series has no moving parts and there is nothing in the flow stream that will cause an increase in pressure drop; this results in a very rugged, reliable and accurate flow meter. High accuracy & repeatability is achieved through the unique measurement section within the flow meter where the flow is conditioned and delta T is measured along the axis of the flow meter. The small footprint, lightweight device is ideal for low viscosity liquid applications including water, water-based products, oils, and its all plastic construction makes it the meter of choice for many corrosive fluids.

ADVANCE™ Series 200 gas feeders are designed for or automatic gas regulation. Automatic operation requires a simple addition of a motorized control valve.

Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus series for challenging process applications.
