Coriolis Meters For CaCO3 Measurement: The Right Answer To A Tough Challenge

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is used in everything from agriculture to pharmaceuticals, but the most common way of manufacturing this everyday chemical presents a tricky measurement challenge, because it involves precipitation to form a course, abrasive slurry.

Sun-Activated LilyPads Remove Contaminants Without Chemicals

Puralytics LilyPads are hardly noticeable in the ponds, lakes, and catchment areas where they are deployed. Made of mesh and plastic, the flat, 1-meter diameter disks could even be confused for their plant namesake if not for their white color.

Dechlorination For The Food & Beverage Industry

For food & beverage manufacturers, product safety is paramount. Minimizing water consumption and improving product ratio & energy savings, which reduce carbon footprint, are also key goals of sustainable F&B operation.

Milk Waste - BOD, FOG, PO4

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.

DO Or Die — Dealing With Aeration Basin Oxygen Deficiencies

Managing the treatment of wastewater — especially industry-generated wastewater that can elevate dissolved oxygen (DO) demands far beyond those of municipal/residential applications — is hard enough. Trying to do so during upset conditions is enough to put any water treatment professional on edge. Here are several preventive and remedial options to keep in mind before or after DO readings go haywire.

Are You On The Hook For U.S. EPA Effluent Limitations Guidelines?

While wastewater effluent standards mandated by the U.S. EPA and individual states eventually come down to a number, it pays to understand how those standards are established and the challenges of meeting them in real-world applications. Here is a look at the multiple pieces of that puzzle, including their wastewater treatment implications for industrial-scale meat and poultry processing operations.

Challenges And Solutions To Treating Beverage Wastewater

Discover how one beverage manufacturer was able to balance producing a quality product while also undertaking the challenging of reclaiming and treating its effluent.

The Future Of Hydroelectric Power: Balancing Generation With Environmental Impact As global climate goals and the environmental impact of hydroelectric systems draw increased attention, the conversation for energy leaders and water resource professionals has shifted from expansion to optimization, where smarter infrastructure and adaptive strategies must work together to reduce harm without compromising output.

Stormwater: A Valuable Resource For Power Plants?

Stormwater is often thought of as a burden. Too much of it can overwhelm wastewater treatment facilities, flood communities, and lead to the pollution of lakes and rivers. There is debate on who’s in charge of it and how it should be managed. Several communities have invested millions, and some even billions, trying to control stormwater. Even chicken farmers have issues with stormwater.

SIPART PS2 Digital Positioner Used On Feedwater Valve

A large power producer in the Northeast U.S. has a four unit power generation plant that operates on demand, based upon bid price to the area ISO. Plant efficiency and speed of response is crucial.

Benefits Of Clean Power Plan Are Measureable – Drop For Drop

Since EPA released its proposed Clean Power Plan (CPP) in June of this year, the plan has been a hot topic in every state.

HOD™ UV Delivering Pure Performance In Power, Energy & Heavy Industry

Chemical-Free Water Treatment Solutions, particularly the HOD™ UV system, represent a significant advancement in water purification technologies for power, energy, and heavy industries. This system eliminates the need for chemical agents, ensuring a cleaner and safer water treatment process.

10 Must-See Membrane Technologies

A collection of innovative membrane technologies found at the AWWA/AMTA Membrane Technology Conference & Exposition

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.

3 Methods For Decreasing Mine Site Closure Time

The current methods for processing water used in mining are slow, and require a hefty investment by mining companies. One Utah based company, however, has proven to speed-up the decades long process that is typical, into a brief period of rapid remediation. Testing and trials with some of the world’s largest processors have yielded a list of methods for processing pregnant solutions and mine site tailings, promising increased profits for mining companies and a speedy and efficient cleanup for residents, politicians and interested parties.

Determination Of EN15662:2008 - Determination Of Pesticide Residue In Food Of Plant Origin, By An Automated QuEChERS Solution

Pesticide residue laboratories are required to undertake analyses of an ever increasing number of samples. The analyses typically involve use of multi-residue methods (both GC-MS and LC-MS) to test for over 500 pesticide residues.

Dechlorination For The Food & Beverage Industry

For food & beverage manufacturers, product safety is paramount. Minimizing water consumption and improving product ratio & energy savings, which reduce carbon footprint, are also key goals of sustainable F&B operation.

Zombie Pharm: Bugs Bring PPCPs Back From The Dead

Like a water-industry version of The Walking Dead, trace chemicals and pharmaceuticals are given new life when exposed to microbes in the wastewater treatment process.

How To Save Time, Save Money With Pilot-Plant Testing

When developing water or wastewater treatment processes for entirely new applications or modifying existing processes to accommodate changing water characteristics or regulatory discharge requirements, understanding capital investment, operating cost, and long-term performance is critical. Here are several ways to view pilot-plant or lab-scale testing as viable approaches to better outcomes with lower risks.

Improved Flow Measurement Through Multiple In-Pipe Readings

A combination of water scarcity and the desire to provide exceptional service has driven water utility managers to be focused more than ever on acquiring accurate, real-time insight into their distribution systems. Operators face a natural hurdle, however, when using traditional center-line electromagnetic flow meters, which don’t account for velocities that vary across a pipe. Fortunately, a solution has emerged to address the issue.
