AMD can be a valuable resource for the oil and gas industry and result in cleaning up thousands of streams and rivers in the nation.

Selenium Removal Technologies: A Review

Selenium, a contaminant of concern in industries such as mining, oil refining, and power generation, is removed from wastewater principally through either biological or chemical/physical processes. This article will describe those technologies, several technology providers, and other sources of information.

Are You On The Hook For U.S. EPA Effluent Limitations Guidelines?

While wastewater effluent standards mandated by the U.S. EPA and individual states eventually come down to a number, it pays to understand how those standards are established and the challenges of meeting them in real-world applications. Here is a look at the multiple pieces of that puzzle, including their wastewater treatment implications for industrial-scale meat and poultry processing operations.

Electricity-Producing Microbes Treat Wastewater, Provide Power Source

Newly discovered electrogenic organisms could significantly reduce energy costs for the wastewater industry.

Fish Hatchery Chooses UV Treatment

Located on the Klamath River in Hornbrook, California, Iron Gate Hatchery is a salmon and steelhead hatchery that releases fish back to the Klamath River. Due to the presence of fungus and microorganisms, hatchery yield was thwarted due to disease.

Inside The Technology: 3M Liqui-Cel Membrane Contactors

While dissolved gas can give beverages distinctive flavors and fizz, it can also corrode boiler equipment and cause problems in microelectronics. With 3M’s advanced gas transfer membrane technology, you have the power to control dissolved gases with precision. Dive in to learn the ins and outs of 3M Liqui-Cel technology.

The Advantages Of Automating Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater treatment operations are beginning to embrace the power of automation. How can it help? And how is it implemented?

First-Of-Its-Kind Zero Liquid Discharge Plant Installed In Egypt

The Egyptian Ethylene and Derivatives Company (ETHYDCO) is a joint venture company established with the purpose to produce Ethylene, Butadiene and their derivatives (Polyethylene, Poly Butadiene).

The Key To Accurate Waste Gas Flow Measurement

Wastewater treatment facilities have a tremendous opportunity to utilize the biogas they generate to lower energy costs and minimize odors. However, the practice isn’t as widespread as it could be, as the precision gas flow and methane content readings required to optimize the process often clash with the misconception that biogas is messy and difficult to measure reliably. With the proper equipment, it is possible to accurately measure biogas to cut emissions and reduce or eliminate the energy bill.

Coal Ash Pond Polishing Filter System

A power plant's wastewater was being contaminated by coal ash generated from power plant operations. The plant was searching for a treatment/polishing system to maintain a TSS of less than 25 PPM.

Developments In Heat Transfer Technology Can Improve Exchanger Efficiency And Reduce Water Demand

Water’s high heat capacity, high thermal conductivity, and historically low cost make it popular for process heat exchange. Power plants, especially those for liquid cooling applications, withdraw a large fraction of the total demand for water necessary for agriculture, industry, recreation, hygiene, drinking, and wildlife.  By Kevin J. Farrell and Vijay Sathyamurthi, Heat Transfer Research, Inc., College Station, Texas USA

High Density Sludge Process Recovers >95% Of Water

Atlantic Richfield/Montana Resources are responsible for ensuring that the acidic water of the Berkley Pit, the largest landmark and legacy of the Butte, Montana mining days, does not spill over into the nearby Clark Fork River. Veolia Water Technologies worked together with Atlantic Richfield/Montana Resources and the U.S. EPA to develop the treatment system for the mining pit waters.

Ensure Success For Your Rental Pump

Using the wrong rental pump for the application can cause unexpected or unnecessary costs, as well as delays and downtime. Here’s how to determine the right rental pump for a given project.
