INDUSTRIAL WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Henan Beyond Clarification: Optimizing Polyacrylamide Selection For High-Complexity Industrial Wastewater Treatment
Polyacrylamide (PAM) selection in industrial wastewater treatment is frequently reduced to a trial-and-error exercise, resulting in reagent waste, inconsistent effluent quality, and inflated operating costs. This article presents a structured framework for PAM optimization across three critical variables — ionic charge density, molecular weight, and coagulant synergy.

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

  • Reliable Thermal Switch Ensures Safe Operation Of Loading Arms At Marine Terminal To Prevent Spills

    A leading European-based marine terminal operator with locations on every major continent is responsible for the managing, handling, storing and distribution of large quantities of oil and gas, as well as refined petrochemicals, which serve industries and consumers around the globe. The company’s thousands of employees are highly trained and are focused on the safe, reliable and efficient storage of large quantities of bulk products at each of its locations.

  • 3M Purification Filtration In Process Cooling Water

    The water used in cooling water systems must be filtered to reduce particulates and help protect downstream process equipment from various sources of contamination at numerous entry points.

  • AquaDisk® Filters Reduce TSS And NTU For Power Plant Process Water

    Shepard Energy Centre (owned by Enmax and Capital Power Corporation) is located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It began operating in March 2015 and is capable of generating over 800 megawatts of electricity to Alberta residents using natural gas. The facility utilizes (2) combustion turbines featuring a combinedcycle technology to generate electricity, and in addition, processes waste heat through a steam turbine to produce even more electricity. This electricity generation process makes Shepard approximately 30% more efficient than traditional coal-fired plants, and reduces overall fuel costs. Not only is Shepard’s plant more efficient, but better for the environment by emitting less than half of the CO2 emmissions per megawatt hour compared to a coal generated facility. Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide emissions are also reduced.

  • Assessing Key Unconventional Shale Wastewater Trends And Opportunities

    The shale-gas boom could make water the most important commodity product of the 21st century.

  • Refinery Improves Boiler Air-To-Fuel Mixture Performance With Help From Multipoint Thermal Flow Meter

    A major oil refinery’s plant team ran into challenging issues when they attempted to optimize their large primary boiler system, which initially perplexed the plant’s process engineers. After extensive study, it was determined there was a problem controlling the boiler’s burner air-to-fuel mixture ratio.

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

  • Understanding DE Trap Filtration

    Diatomaceous earth (DE) filters, sometimes called Kieselguhr, pressure leaf or primary filters, are one of the most prevalent filters found in modern breweries. Many beers, pasteurized or not, will pass through a DE filter.  

  • Would You Like Some Free Green Energy With That?

    Some of the world’s most environmentally efficient and profitable green energy technologies are being specifically tailored to the needs of the beef, poultry, pork, rendering and stockfeed industries.

  • Alcoholic Beverage Fusel Alcohol Testing With Static Headspace

    A static headspace method was developed using Teledyne Tekmar automated headspace vial samplers to meet the method requirements of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the US Department of the Treasury (TTB) method SSD: TM:2001 for testing fusel alcohols in alcoholic beverages.

  • Location, Location — The Key To Aeration

    As with any industrial process, the right tool for the job depends on the nature of the task at hand. In aerobic wastewater treatment, that optimal choice often comes down to a balance between the biological and financial demands of the application. Either way, here are several performance comparisons of how multiple aeration methods and locations stack up in industrial wastewater treatment applications.

  • AnoxKaldnes MBBR Reduced Wastewater OPEX At Meat Processing Facility

    Valley Pride Pack wanted to reduce the operational costs associated with their wastewater treatment system.

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR INDUSTRY

  • 5 Principles For Improved Water Security

    Are environmental interests and business interests mutually exclusive? Our divisive sociopolitical climate might make you think so — you’re either labeled ‘tree-hugging’ or ‘greedy’ — but it is not an either/or proposition, especially when it comes to water conservation.

  • The Importance Of Industrial Water Monitoring

    Monitoring of water quality in industrial process is essential, and it has been proven that testing industrial waters on a regular basis can mitigate risks and system issues before they become problematic. This includes early detection of corrosion, scale and biofouling.

  • Understanding DE Trap Filtration

    Diatomaceous earth (DE) filters, sometimes called Kieselguhr, pressure leaf or primary filters, are one of the most prevalent filters found in modern breweries. Many beers, pasteurized or not, will pass through a DE filter.  

  • 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.

  • Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Pilot System Achieves Removals In Excess Of 95 Percent

    The aluminum casting facility of a producer of semifabricated aluminum products utilizes a closed-loop contact water system that supplies water to multiple DC casting pits. An existing induced air flotation (IAF) system was used for the reduction of TSS, NTU, oil and grease, followed by a cooling tower. The treated and cooled water was then reused in the caster as contact water. The IAF had a removal efficiency of approximately 40 percent, required regular maintenance attention, operated at 125 HP and used an excessive amount of chemistry, resulting in extraordinarily high operating costs.
