A range of devices are required to cost-effectively manage the lifecycle of produced water. Operators often face the question of which process instrumentation is the right fit given the unique requirements of their application.

A new generation of electrocoagulation-based water treatment has successfully treated wastewater and effluent from a remote onshore natural gas exploration and production project with over three years of continuous operation. To compound the challenges of treating this wastewater and effluent, the unit was required to operate in an extremely environmentally sensitive environment — a pristine tropical rainforest.

Offshore platforms around the globe are essential to the production of oil/gas and the global energy supply chain, but they represent a daily hazardous operating environment to the employees that work there 24-x-7. The potential dangers range from a mix of toxic and combustible gases, including, but not limited to, deadly hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to explosive methane (CH4), and other mixed hydrocarbon gases that are easily flammable.

In the oil and gas industry, regulations and requirements to measure, monitor and report flared gases continue to expand and extend. The U.S. EPA continues to focus on enhancing regulations aimed at reducing emissions of methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment.

The client is one of the largest combined electric and gas companies in the United States, servicing 1.8 million gas customers and 2.2 million electric customers in more than 300 urban, suburban and rural communities. Following a successful site visit, the Client contracted Veolia for the treatment of up to 2725m³/h (12,000 gpm) of sewage plant effluent for cooling tower make-up.

By harvesting heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) condensate, industrial operations can take advantage of a cool, convenient source of clean water.

BlueInGreen replaced two failed blowers with two SDOX units for Tyson Food's regional wastewater treatment plant without disrupting operations. 

Arsenic in water is one thing, but arsenic in beer? This is getting out of hand. While the drinking water supply is clearly much more of a concern than the beer supply, the sobering fact is that arsenic, a known carcinogen, is far too prevalent in the environment.

Select Harvest was in need of a filtration solution to remove high levels of arsenic from their well water supply. Learn how Applied Process Equipment helped them remove arsenic to non-detectable levels.

A quality outcome is only as reliable as the components and processes used to create and test it. When it comes to municipal drinking water, food, beverages, wastewater effluent, and other industrial applications, having reliable microbiological testing reference materials to benchmark quality control (QC) processes is essential. Here are some important points to consider when establishing or managing QC programs.

By harvesting heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) condensate, industrial operations can take advantage of a cool, convenient source of clean water.

Boilers, cooling towers, and reverse osmosis (RO) systems are some of the most common systems that require monitoring and chemical treatment.  Chemical treatment of boiler systems reduces scale, corrosion, and other mineral deposits. This enables the system to run more efficiently, keep heat transfer rates high and fuel costs down. To determine the proper amount of chemical to be injected into the water stream, samples of key parameters need to be taken. Instrumentation to measure ORP, pH, conductivity, temperature, pressure and flow are deployed to take these measurements.

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

Offshore platforms around the globe are essential to the production of oil/gas and the global energy supply chain, but they represent a daily hazardous operating environment to the employees that work there 24-x-7. The potential dangers range from a mix of toxic and combustible gases, including, but not limited to, deadly hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to explosive methane (CH4), and other mixed hydrocarbon gases that are easily flammable.

Top-performing coal-fired power plant finds that SolarBee^® solar-powered mixers combat blue-green algae in 500-acre reservoir without the need for chemicals or mechanical aeration.

By harvesting heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) condensate, industrial operations can take advantage of a cool, convenient source of clean water.

The Blast Furnace (BF) is a critical process unit in the iron and steel industry, which converts iron ore into molten iron and is the beginning of the process in the manufacturing of steel. The Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) is a vessel that is used to reduce carbon in liquid iron from ~4%, down to 0.04%. The combustion of carbon in the BOF is enabled by blowing pure O₂ into the melt.

BlueInGreen replaced two failed blowers with two SDOX units for Tyson Food's regional wastewater treatment plant without disrupting operations. 

In the world of Salt Water Disposal Wells, protecting the well from intrusion by solids is a key need. Filtering the high solids present in produced and flowback water to <20 micron prior to injection in a high Total Suspended Solids water condition has proven to reduce the time between acid cleanings and flowback cleanings.

Water is considered the “life blood” of any facility for the simple reason that it transfers heat from one location to another.  A complete water treatment program has one goal in mind, to manage the efficiency of that heat transfer.

The Prince William County Service Authority carefully considers its impact to the environment when conducting wastewater treatment.

In this discussion, I am going to discuss general issues in wastewater treatment and specifically the collection phase of waste treatment. We all realize the effort and expense that goes into treatment-plant technology, but many don’t seem to realize that the collection phase is where we get “more bang for the buck.”

With the dearth of quality source water a major and worsening issue for utilities and industry, water-level monitoring is paramount for successful operations — as is stepping up to IoT technology.

Peracetic acid (PAA) is one of the most versatile and widely used disinfectants on the market. PAA has proven to be an excellent sanitizer and disinfectant in the food, beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and agriculture industries for industrial water treatment, as well as an excellent disinfectant for use in the wastewater treatment industry.

Farmers in Uganda and in developing countries around the world are facing major energy and waste management issues. There are anaerobic digestions systems to help farmers manage agricultural waste from plants and animals, but there’s a problem.
