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.

Salmon Hatchery Upgrades Its UV Disinfection System

While the facility was receiving awards and accolades for their aquaculture production, they were having challenges keeping their former UV system operating consistently and reliably. Spare parts were expensive and they often experienced periods of down-time, negatively affecting operations.

Pile Cloth Media Filtration For Food Processing

Read about the cloth media filter installations that have been operating in food and beverage wastewater plants for over 25 years.

Understanding DE Trap Filtration

Diatomaceous earth (DE) filters, sometimes called Kieselguhr, pressure leaf or primary filters, are one of the most prevalent filters found in modern breweries. Many beers, pasteurized or not, will pass through a DE filter.  

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.

Side-Stream SDOX® Systems Enhance Biological Function And Treatment Capacity

Wastewater from the meat processing facility is treated using a sequence batch reactor and an aerobic lagoon that discharges to surface waters following treatment. The facility replaced surface aeration equipment with two, 350-HP the “no-splash,” side-stream SDOX systems retrofitted to the treatment basin. Read the full case study to learn the results.

Methods For Making Ultrapure Water

To break down the treatment options here are three popular ultrapure treatment processes from leading technology suppliers.

Water-As-A-Fuel Market For The Future Of Clean Energy

The idea of utilizing water as a fuel source has been speculated by scientists, innovators, and researchers from all over the globe, envisioning a world where renewable, green energy can power the planet.

Developments In Heat Transfer Technology Can Improve Exchanger Efficiency And Reduce Water Demand

Water’s high heat capacity, high thermal conductivity, and historically low cost make it popular for process heat exchange. Power plants, especially those for liquid cooling applications, withdraw a large fraction of the total demand for water necessary for agriculture, industry, recreation, hygiene, drinking, and wildlife.  By Kevin J. Farrell and Vijay Sathyamurthi, Heat Transfer Research, Inc., College Station, Texas USA

Hydro-Electric Power Station Benefits From The Use Of Siemens Flow Meters

A power plant plant experienced an accident when a pipe broke after it was sand-dusted during maintenance. The pump location, including the turbines and control room, was completely flooded. Read about the customer's search for a cost-effective flow measurement solution to drive a safety shut-down valve in case the pipe should break again.

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.

Filtration System For Fish Hatchery

The newest of five stations operated by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department for the purpose of providing fish to public waters throughout the State. The fish culture station is designed to take advantage of the different water temperatures in Lake Champlain through the use of a pair of intake lines. Water is drawn from shallow and deep levels in the lake, and can be blended to provide the right temperature for rearing trout and salmon.

ED vs. RO: The Benefits Of Electrodialysis For Desalination

There is no doubt that reverse osmosis (RO) currently reigns among desalination techniques, if your metric is total number of installations. But a new competitor has arisen, at least for particular applications. If you have brackish water in the 2,000 to 15,000 ppm range of total dissolved solids (TDS), you may want to consider electrodialysis (ED) over RO.

Reaching Zero Liquid Discharge: A Starter's Guide

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems employ cutting-edge technologies to minimize water use within a given industrial facility and maximize the reuse of its processed wastewater. In the perfect ZLD system, no effluent ever leaves the factory, savings are immense, discharge and reuse requirements are met with ease, and the praise of conservation groups is bestowed fervently.

Aire-O₂ Triton® TR Series Combined With Diffused Aeration Improves Chemical Effluent Quality

Daurala Organics Limited, a chemical producer in Daurala, India, managers 2780m³/d flow in their activated sludge process plant.

DELUMPER® Aids in Polymer Production

Steel Fire Equipment in Ontario, Canada needed help with their polymer production. The plant produces polymer for fire extinguishers. The pneumatic production system processes chemicals that often clump and sometimes even form into stone. They needed a crusher that could break up these chunks or the material would not flow through the system and the entire process would come to a halt. Steel Fire also needed the machine to be able to handle their production rate of 3000 – 4000 pounds of material a day and be powerful enough to break up very hard chunks.
