3 Solutions To Water-Intensive Fracking

Are you for or against it? It seems everyone has picked a side in the debate over hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”), but most conflict would likely fall away if fracking was performed in a proven safe and sustainable manner, verified by a reliable source.

Utilizing Thermal Mass Flow Meters To Optimize Thermal Oxidizer Performance And Reduce HAP/VOC Emissions

Many processes in the oil/gas refining, specialty chemical production, solvents, paint, coatings and photoelectric industries generate hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), which need to be removed from waste, flue and tail gases before emission into the environment to meet clean air regulations around the world. In addition to removing problematic greenhouse gases, emphasis is placed on eliminating toxins that can be harmful to industrial workers and the environment.

Expanding Industrial Applications For Automation In Pumping

The Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and connectivity in drives is the future, and many market segments must modernize to compete. The world is more connected than ever with new technological advances that produce higher process efficiency and time savings. To stay competitive in this environment, companies must include automated solutions such as remote management, monitoring, and control.

How To Balance Dissolved Oxygen Levels For Maximum Efficiency

While dissolved oxygen (DO) levels are critical considerations in aerobic wastewater treatment processes, not every application maintains a consistent level of demand. How industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) track and fulfill those needs make a big difference in the optimum performance and cost-efficiency of their operations.

Feds Take Steps To Regulate Water For Food

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

Determination Of Pesticide Residues In Tea

In 2012, Americans consumed well over 79 billion servings of tea, which is just over 3.60 billion gallons.

Conducting Accurate Conductivity Measurement In Industrial Applications

While some water quality parameters may get more attention in industrial settings, few are more critical than conductivity. Understanding conductivity monitoring for industrial applications — where it is needed, how it works, and how to leverage the appropriate instruments and standards in order to pinpoint it — will unlock huge gains in efficiency, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance.

Water Disinfection At Feldschlöesschen Brewery In Switzerland

Despite meeting European drinking water standards, contamination levels at a brewery reached as high as 800 CFU/ml, prompting the brewery to seek a reliable disinfection solution to protect the integrity of its production processes.

The Energy Reality Behind Cape Town's Water Crisis — And Why The U.S. Should Care

In Cape Town, South Africa, the countdown is on for Day Zero when water taps in the city of 4 million people are expected to run dry.

SuperDisc™ Filtration System Case Study

Glendale Heights Wastewater Treatment Plant discharges treated water to the East Branch of the DuPage River in Illinois.

Water-As-A-Fuel Market For The Future Of Clean Energy

The idea of utilizing water as a fuel source has been speculated by scientists, innovators, and researchers from all over the globe, envisioning a world where renewable, green energy can power the planet.

Boiler Feed Water Pump Local Instrumentation — Necessity Or Nuisance?

Anyone remember the old cars of the 1950s and 1960s? They all pretty much came equipped with an ammeter, an oil pressure gauge, a water temperature gauge, as well as a speedometer and a fuel level gauge. 

FEDI System Has Been Running Successfully For Six Years

Brazos Electric Cooperative Power Plant in Cleburne, TX is a nominal 258 MW combined cycle gas fired power plant operating on AGC (Automatic Generation Control) load requirements. The plant uses approximately 54 million gallons of water per year for boiler feed water and NOx control of its combustion turbine.

AmSty Boosts Run-Length And Efficiency With GE's Process Inhibitors And Cooling Solutions

AmSty, is a leading integrated producer of styrene monomer throughout the Americas. Styrene is used in the manufacturing of a wide range of products we use every day from rubber, packaging, electronics, housewares and automotive applications.

Laundry Water Recovery System Reduces Freshwater Use By Over 50 Percent

In Mexico City, few residents have tap water or washing machines and most visit laundromats to clean their clothes. To keep up with demand, most of the city’s laundromats take delivery of fresh water three or four times per day at great expense to facility owners. Virtually none of this water is reused or recycled. 

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.

Better Drinking Water Quality Starts Upstream

While every potable water treatment process requires a balance of chemistry and biology to deliver safe, clean drinking water, added concerns from upstream stormwater or agricultural runoff only make the job that much more difficult. How can we do a better job of safeguarding water treatment plant (WTP) operations while protecting the health of water utility customers against threats of upstream nonpoint source (NPS) pollution?

Lime Slaker System Reduces Operating Costs And Increases Sustainability At WTP

The West African City of Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire has historically provided drinking water to its five million residents from water treatment plants that use hydrated lime systems. But because of the high content of carbon dioxide in the local groundwater, up to 160 ppm, setting the water to calcium carbonate equilibrium using hydrated lime was economically, operationally and environmentally challenging for the city of Abidjan.

Industrial Water Treatment For Inorganic Contaminants: Chemical Treatment Processes

Potential water treatment processes for inorganic contaminants can be grouped into three categories: physical, chemical, and biological. This article will describe five chemical treatment technologies that may be considered.

Rapid Industrial Growth To Boost Positive Displacement Pumps Demand

Global manufacturing sector has witnessed a massive boom over recent years, primarily pushed by the robust industrial outlook and fast-paced economic growth.

How To Balance Dissolved Oxygen Levels For Maximum Efficiency

While dissolved oxygen (DO) levels are critical considerations in aerobic wastewater treatment processes, not every application maintains a consistent level of demand. How industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) track and fulfill those needs make a big difference in the optimum performance and cost-efficiency of their operations.
