The flare gas discussion is heating up again. According to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. oil production is at an all-time high, and so are the harmful methane emissions from leaks, flaring and venting.

Water is one of the world's most critical natural resources, but too many people take it for granted, raising awareness of its importance — and complexities — is too often left out of public discourse. My recent visit to a few engineering colleges as a STEM ambassador made me realize that many engineering programs are offered today than when I went to school.

GE Water & Process Technologies and the World Resources Institute (WRI), an independent research organization studying sustainability, jointly produced a white paper called “Water-Energy Nexus: Business Risks and Rewards.” The paper hones in on the shared interest of the two groups, namely the supply of freshwater counted on by the energy industry, which in turn fuels water treatment operations, a relationship that’s known as the “water-energy nexus.”

In process industries such as oil and gas, pharmaceutical and chemical, it is essential to maintain and prolong the lifetime of critical assets including pumps, valves, heat exchangers and compressors.

A non-toxic, advanced oxidation (AOP) formula of minerals chelated with oxygen and stabilized in an aqueous water solution. It is a viable option in industries and applications requiring a solution to challenging situations where high level effective sanitization and oxidation is required. Read more to learn how the Genclean advanced oxidation treatment solutions can be used in different applications.

Major multinational food and drink processing company requested support to validate the performance of existing electromagnetic flow meters, that were failure-prone, in their water treatment plants. 

A milk producer operates an evaporated milk production facility that generates an average of 58,000 gpd of contaminated water with spikes of 1,200 gallons up to 12 times per day. Two 2,000 gallon batch tanks are used for pH adjustment before discharge. Most of the flow goes through the tanks.

High-quality water is critical to food and beverage production — both as an ingredient and a process enabler — so the sourcing challenges faced by municipal water systems pose an ongoing threat to the health of the industry. Fortunately, there are a variety of technology options now available to improve water security.

To help you select the best wastewater treatment strategy for your dairy processing application, this white paper provides a helpful overview of some of the challenges you will encounter including biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), nitrogen and phosphorus removal.

Water companies are prioritizing engagement with the hospitality sector in their drive to keep sewers free of fats, oils and grease (FOG). Network protection managers at Southern Water and United Utilities, Stephen Williams and Andrew Peet, tell Laura Su, managing director of the European FOG Summit, why cross-sector partnerships must be forged.

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.

There's a hidden threat to Indian energy companies' revenues — water.

GE Water & Process Technologies and the World Resources Institute (WRI), an independent research organization studying sustainability, jointly produced a white paper called “Water-Energy Nexus: Business Risks and Rewards.” The paper hones in on the shared interest of the two groups, namely the supply of freshwater counted on by the energy industry, which in turn fuels water treatment operations, a relationship that’s known as the “water-energy nexus.”

At my household, a new year means a new energy and water-use baseline. By that I mean, every month, I look at how much electricity and water I used in comparison to the same month the previous year — so I can try to be as efficient as possible. But I work in the energy field, and I know that’s not a typical New Year’s tradition. Most people don’t examine the trends of their energy-use or spend much time thinking about how to reduce it.

This paper shows how the four pillars of operator effectiveness lead operators to greater awareness, faster response and better decisions.

An increasing number of technology industries are turning to cooling towers to remove excess heat from buildings or processes. Server farms or server clusters are typically located between the system switches and routers, the removal of heat from these facilities is critical to their optimal performance.

Discover how integrated membrane system designs can maximize the operating stability of EDI systems and reduce mixed bed regeneration frequency.

A bridge in Laurel, Montana needed repairs as the concrete showed signs of distress due to climate and environmental conditions. Read the case study to learn how Geoploymer mortar saved the day.

Circular economy approaches can add value to a vast range of processes and product sectors, but water is the ‘blue thread’ that flows through it all, Nick Jeffries tells Paul O’Callaghan, chief executive, BlueTech Research.

The flare gas discussion is heating up again. According to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. oil production is at an all-time high, and so are the harmful methane emissions from leaks, flaring and venting.

The City of Bielefeld, Germany provides municipal utilities including electricity, natural gas, district heating, and water needs for a population of approximately 330,000. The municipality operates three gas-fired boilers with tapping turbines to feed into the district heating system that has a thermal peak load of 300 MW.

The WaterReuse Association and Water Environment & Reuse Foundation have teamed with Pentair to highlight new ways that water recycling can be utilized to improve agricultural practices.

With infrastructure being such a hot topic these days, it is only fitting that industrial water treatment professionals take a second look at their own infrastructure. Here are some areas where new pressures from the impacts of climate change, population growth, or government regulations can benefit from improved filtration membrane technology approaches.

As industrial facilities continually look for ways to reduce capital costs and decrease installation timelines associated with water treatment and other systems, the practice of containerizing equipment has become more prevalent. A containerized system offers many benefits of lower costs than comparable field erected buildings, faster timelines, and lower field installation requirements. 

The Church Road Transfer Station (CRTS) is located southwest of downtown Parksville, British Columbia in the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN). The facility receives organic waste, solid waste, recyclables, and construction/demolition waste from the general public and commercial haulers. Its expansion under the RDN’s Green Building Policy transformed it into a zero-waste facility.
