Breakthrough Recyclable Polyimide Membranes Transform Wastewater And High-Salinity Water Treatment

Researchers have developed polyimide-based membranes for membrane distillation (MD) that overcome three persistent issues in membranes for water treatment and gas separations: the need for pore-forming chemicals that prevent recycling, performance degradation due to pore wetting and fouling, and the inherent trade-off between high water flux and selectivity.

Water Scarcity In Texas: Rushing Ahead Of Science Could Scuttle Solutions

Water scarcity is a challenge facing many Texas communities, and it’s encouraging to see how many state leaders are proactively exploring solutions to our growing water needs. This has brought the oil and gas industry and the massive volumes of water it uses and produces each year into the conversation.

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.

Enhancing Treatment Capacity For Simmons Foods

Learn how Simmons Foods resolved their wastewater treatment issues by replacing their aeration equipment, resulting in increased treatment capacity, improved removal rates, and reduced operating costs and energy consumption. 

Wastewater Management In The Food Industry Food production not only uses a lot of water in their products, but they also deal with unique wastewater challenges. These challenges are compounded by the varying nature of contaminants present in food & beverage wastewater. Treatment facilities must be designed to handle fluctuating volumes and compositions of wastewater, while maintaining consistent performance.

An Unconventional Approach To Dairy Wastewater Treatment

If you’ve ever looked into the ice cream freezers at your local grocery store you can imagine all the different ingredients you’d find at the ice cream factory: cream, sugar, chocolate, fruit, nuts, milk, syrups, and so on.

Repair Of Major Damage To High Density Polyethylene Wastewater Pipeline

Leprino Foods, the world's largest mozzarella cheese producer, operates two plants that share one wastewater pipeline – a 16” SDR11 High Density Polyethylene Pipeline (operating at approximately 160 PSI). During dirt work an “auger” hit the wastewater pipeline and drilled an 8” diameter hole in the line. Leprino needed immediate access to a repair fitting for this line.

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.

Combined-Cycle Water Treatment System

The client was in need of both a raw water and wastewater treatment system for its new 1,100-megawatt (MW) natural gasfired combined cycle power station that was being built to replace an existing 400-MW coal-fired plant that had been decommissioned previously. Veolia Water Technologies was contacted to engineer, procure and supply a 6,000 gallons per minute (GPM) raw water treatment system and a 1,200-GPM wastewater treatment system.

CleanFlo™ Monoscreen® Case Study

When the polar bears at the Brookfield Zoo were introduced to their new habitats at the Great Bear Wilderness, they had no idea how much more fulfilling their life would become.

El Paso Electric Should Protect The City's Water And Let Solar Power Shine

Resiliency is a hot button word right now. Ten years ago, advocates focused on “adaptation,” or the idea of adapting to the coming effects of climate change. Now the focus is on “resiliency,” the ability to bounce forward — not backward — when something disastrous happens.

U.S. Power Profile Shift Sparks Water Opportunity

The power sector looks to zero liquid discharge and taps municipal reclaimed water as a water reuse strategy.

Nutrient Sensor Action Challenge Winners: Data And Decisions To Manage Excess Nutrients

Nutrients in the environment from excess nitrogen and phosphorous can result in negative impacts on water quality. EPA is improving nutrient management by incentivizing the development of low-cost technology solutions, such as nutrient sensors, in collaboration with USGS, USDA, NIST, NOAA, and the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS).

Pulp & Paper Wastewater Treatment - Innovative Treatment For Efficient Water Management

The paper and pulp industry is among the largest industrial users of water resources operating across the world. Typically, pulp and paper industry operations require on average about 54-70 m3 (18,000 gallons) of water per metric ton (2200 pounds) of processed paper goods. This water usage is staggering, and water is used in almost every single part of the pulp and paper manufacturing process. These paper mills produce significant quantities of both waste water and residual sludge waste from initial pulp digestion to pulp slurries, and washing the paper making machinery.
