The Changing Role Of Infrastructure Within The Oil And Gas Industry

The drop in price of a barrel of oil has had an understandable impact on major projects in the oil and gas industry. Three years ago, with crude trading above $100 a barrel, schedule was the overriding priority. As time delays were equated to lost revenue opportunity, there was less attention paid to the ultimate cost efficiency of a major project.

Views From The Top: GE Water CEO On The Future Of Reuse

Speaking on the state of the challenging water/wastewater treatment market — hampered in recent years by slow municipal growth — Heiner Markhoff, a leading voice in the water treatment technology market, sees “light at the end of the tunnel.” Find out why in this exclusive Q&A with Water Online.

How Oil & Gas States Did (And Did Not) Protect Land And Water In 2018

Keeping an eye on what happens with domestic oil and gas regulation is a bit like herding cats. We’ve seen encouraging progress on air quality issues related to oil and gas, but an equally critical front that’s seen major action is protection of our land and water resources.

Flow Meter Helps HollyFrontier's Woods Cross Refinery Measure Flare Gas For Safety And Environmental Compliance

When the plant team at HollyFrontier’s Woods Cross Refinery, near Bountiful, Utah, needed mass flow meters to measure flare gas to the main flare header, the team drew on its past metering experiences for this difficult application.

Real-Time Water Quality Data For Industrial Operations

We arm plant operators with actionable data necessary to make informed decisions about water management in industrial facilities.

Water Is Beer My water career started with beer. No, not the amount I drank on my way to my chemical engineering degree at Manhattan College. I mean the 10,000+ hours I spent optimizing filtration systems in breweries throughout the world.

Successful Screening Pilot At A Major Waste-To-Energy Player

Parkson recently had a very successful pilot test at the facility of a bio-feedstock supplier of waste products turned into fuel. The Rotoshear® unit, equipped with a .060” wedgewire screen, successfully removes solids directly from Industrial Waste Hauling trucks to recover grease. Screening this material before it enters the receiving station allows the facility to focus on proper treatment of the industrial wastewater rather than the expensive downtime to drain and clean their receiving pond.

How To Power Your Treatment Plant And Reduce Costs With Waste-To-Energy Technology

Electricity is a major cost for industry operations, and the cost of meeting environmental regulations is right up there as well. At the same time, industries are compelled to improve sustainability and lower their carbon footprints.

Water Recycling Made Easy: A Guide To Water Reuse For Food and Beverage Manufacturers

Available water supply can be compromised by more than just drought — a challenge food and beverage manufacturers know well.

Improving Compliance Through Real-Time Phosphorus Control

Levels of phosphorus, a chemical element that promotes organic growth, must be controlled in wastewater coming from beverage, food and dairy processing plants. Failure to control phosphorus accurately has a negative impact on water quality and can lead to large fines.

Ultrapure Water Treatment: A Market With Energy

A look at the market dynamics and drivers for ultrapure water treatment reveals multiple industries with growing demand, including one that stands above the rest.

In-Line Ultrasonic Meters Provide Continuous Measurement For Sample Stations

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.

SuperDisc™ Filtration System Case Study

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

Is Your Water System Ready For Population Growth?

Utilities are faced with myriad threats looming in the future, but chief among them is increased stress from population growth. In Denver, comprehensive planning for that future is underway.

MBBR/IFAS Upgrade To Dubai Investment Park

Dubai Investments Park is a unique, self-contained mixed use industrial, commercial and residential complex operated by Dubai Investments Park Development Company LLC. Spread across an area of 3200 hectares, it is a city within a city offering world-class infrastructure and outstanding facilities and services.

Monitor Cooling Tower Water Consumption Accurately, Without Disruption

Operations that want to track cooling tower water use accurately in 24/7 applications — without having to disrupt processes to install a new meter — need options that are easy to retrofit into continuous operations. Here’s how they can achieve + 0.5 percent flow meter accuracy without compromising cooling tower availability, by employing full-profile insertion (FPI) electromagnetic flow meters (mag meters) with hot-tap installation capabilities.

Is A Containerized Treatment System Right For You?

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.
