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.

Global Crisis And Modern Solutions At The Water-Energy Nexus

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.”

Flare Gas Flow Measurement And Control

In oil/gas production, refining and storage operations around the globe, flare gas systems are used to burn-off and dispose of waste, excess or off-gases, and as a safety system. The accurate, responsive and reliable measurement of flare gas is essential in order to assure proper operation of the flare gas system, which protects people and equipment from potentially hazardous combustible gas to maintain a safe working environment and to avoid environmental contamination.

Forward Osmosis: How It Works, And Why It's Important

Is this innovative desalination technique ready to topple incumbent technologies? An industry expert explains the benefits and potential of forward osmosis.

Recycling Wastewater from Oil And Gas Wells Poses Challenges

Each year, the oil and gas industry produces more than 800 billion gallons of wastewater. Coupling the massive volumes of wastewater generated over the life of the well and the millions of gallons of water needed to hydraulically fracture each well, it’s easy to see that oil and gas exploration and production is just as much a water issue as it is an energy issue.

Distillery Wastewater Byproducts Fuel Sustainability

For distilleries, high levels of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nitrogen, total dissolved solids (TDS), and total suspended solids (TSS) put extra pressure on optimal biological treatment requirements. Here are some techniques that can help distillers put a little extra money in the bank while meeting the challenges of environmental discharge requirements.

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.

Winery Becomes California's Most Eco-Friendly With Advanced Biological Treatment And Nutrient Removal

The TITAN MBR helped a winery become the first ever to earn a LEED Platinum Certification for new construction in 2018 (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

Coriolis Installation At Brewery Indicates Bright Future For SITRANS FC330

A global beverage company produces, markets, sells and distributes a variety of beverages including beer, malt, soft drinks, fruit juices and mineral water. The brewery has utilized several types of SITRANS F flowmeters from Siemens to regulate all aspects of the brewing process for more than a decade, including SITRANS F C Coriolis meters to monitor the sugar concentration in wort prior to fermentation.

Food Processor Monitors Water Usage And Verifies Meter Calibration

A food processing company in northern California has a small wastewater treatment plant to treat its wastewater before releasing it back to the local municipality.

4 Safety Considerations For Anyone Storing, Handling, or Transporting Substances

Substances regulated or substances unregulated may ultimately impact the environment, health, and water supply of others. The following safety considerations are advised for those who store, handle, or transport potentially dangerous substances.

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.

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.

Plastic Micro- And Nanoparticles In Drinking Water And Foods

The prospect of plastics working their way into humans is a rising concern for the public, with information presented to them from various, and sometimes suspect, sources. To cut through the noise, findings from the top available sources — detailed international reviews — are presented here with commentary.

New And Innovative Rare Earth Technology For Low-Level Phosphorus Removal

With environmental regulations continuing to restrict the discharge of phosphorus from wastewater treatment facilities, traditional methods of phosphorus removal are proving inadequate.

Aeration System Solves Lagoon Odors And High Maintenance Problems

A large vegetable processing facility was experiencing problems with its lagoon surface aerators. The company’s treatment process includes a collection and screening assembly, two anaerobic stabilization ponds and a 40 million gallon aerated lagoon.

SITRANS FC4400 Enhances Purification Process For Leading Global Metal Supplier

During a field test at a metal supplying company,  the new SITRANS FC330 Coriolis flowmeter demonstrated exceptional stability and reliability in measuring the concentration of tungsten metal.
