WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

  • 3 Solutions To Water-Intensive Fracking

    Are you for or against it? It seems everyone has picked a side in the debate over hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”), but most conflict would likely fall away if fracking was performed in a proven safe and sustainable manner, verified by a reliable source.

  • Real-Time Heavy Metal Monitoring For Oil & Gas

    Large, distributed water networks are not well-suited for conventional water monitoring processes which rely on manual sampling and lab testing. In particular, this midstream oil and gas company had a need to detect Iron, Selenium, and other heavy metals at a precise level comparable to a lab. In addition, it wasn’t feasible to manually test the entire water system at the requisite frequency. Finally, instrument reliability and unplanned downtime were an issue.

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

  • Maximizing Speed And Accuracy In Microbiological Testing

    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.

  • Using Drop-In Aeration Systems To Address Rising Oxygen Demands

    Keeping pace with changing industrial wastewater treatment demands can raise multiple issues of oxygen demand, capital cost, and operating expense, often without the flexibility of taking basins out of service to upgrade to new levels of performance. Fortunately, there are alternatives for delivering more oxygen to treat more water.

  • 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.

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE POWER GENERATION INDUSTRY

  • FGD Purge Treatment In Coal-Fired Power Generation

    Stricter environmental policies and regulations worldwide are changing how industry approaches all aspects of business. Likewise, EU (European Union) environmental policies governing air, soil, and water quality have become progressively stringent.

    These policy changes affect the power industry’s balance of meeting growing European energy demands with compliance to environmental standards. In order to conform with EU standards specific for flue gas, a coalfired generation plant (at the time owned by Endesa, Italia, S.p.A.) in Monfalcone, Italy, undertook the measure of installing a state-of-the-art FGD (flue gas desulfurization) system at their facility. This system would remove SO2 (sulfur dioxide) from the emissions for the 336 MW coal-fired power station.

  • Ultrasonic Flowmeter And Solar GSM Datalogger Deliver Continuous Monitoring And Compliance For Hydroelectric Plant In Türkiye

    A hydroelectric power plant in Türkiye needed to establish a system for real-time monitoring of water consumption and turbine performance to enhance its operational efficiency. Crucially, the State Water Authority also required continuous, 24/7 remote access to water usage data for supervisory and regulatory compliance.

  • Straight Talk On Radiation

    From time-to-time I write on topics that are related to water and wastewater as a "backgrounder" so that those involved in the field can gain a wider perspective and have available to them a cogent explanation minus jargon on various topics. By Dr. J.H. Wakefield

  • Cloth Media Filtration Removes Coal Ash And Coal Fines At Power Plants

    Coal-fired power plants generate coal fines and coal ash from a number of sources, including coal combustion residuals (CCR), particularly fly and bottom ash from coal furnaces, and coal pile runoff during rain events. In support of an industry-wide effort to reduce, improve, and remove coal ash ponds, a variety of technologies have been tested and employed. Read the full application note to learn more.

  • Remote Monitoring Helps Growers, Water Districts Do Their Jobs

    Propeller flow meters have long been an important tool for agricultural irrigation management. As water scarcity and resource management have become increasingly critical, getting the most timely, accurate readings available from those meters is becoming more important than ever. Here is how growers and water conservation districts (WCDs) are each getting the best of both worlds for their own purposes.

  • Shining A Light On Global Water Stress

    The word “unprecedented” is overused and often abused. Water stress, however — the situation in which the water resources in a region or country are insufficient for its needs — is today a major threat and we are in fact facing “unprecedented” challenges. Climate change is a big factor contributing to it, but it’s not the only factor. Without rapid changes in industrial water usage, it is predicted that within 10 years there will be a 40 percent global water deficit.
