While The Water Online Show covers everything water and wastewater, the challenges regarding flow measurement are consistent amongst many other industries. Whether it’s Oil & Gas or Green Energy or any other closely related industry, solutions for these measurements and calibrations related to flow are available. Adam Schleyhahn, Director of Sales and Marketing for FCI joins the show to tell us more.

There are a number of point level approaches to measuring the interface between water and oil for water dump control in the oil and gas industry. However, each has disadvantages — manual methods introduce human error, conductivity switches are rendered inaccurate by buildup, and float switches are susceptible to wear and tear. This white paper introduces capacitance level switches as an accurate and reliable alternative for water/oil interface detection.

Oil and natural gas are considered valuable resources all across the globe. The number of products made from these two materials is impressive and our lives would be very different without them. Production of these products begins with locating the underground sources of crude oil. These deep well sources are then mined to extract the oil and gas materials. Afterward, these raw materials are sent to refineries to be converted into the petrochemical and gas products that we use nearly every day. Therefore, produced water treatment & management is an integral part of oil & gas company operations.

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.

Explore the four components that, if put together in the right way, will allow the oil and gas industry to reap the benefits of IoT, the Cloud and Big Data. 

In 2012, Americans consumed well over 79 billion servings of tea, which is just over 3.60 billion gallons.

Three thousand litres of water — that is the amount needed to produce the food each British person eats every day. This is according to a new study into the “water footprint” of diets in Western Europe, conducted by the European Commission and published in Nature Sustainability.

It’s a scenario that is becoming more common at food and beverage facilities. The introduction of a new product to market, or a boom in sales of an existing product, prompts management to increase production capacity. While there is plenty of space for production equipment, the corresponding need for additional wastewater treatment capacity may not be readily accommodated.

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).

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.

Unlike backwash systems, scraper strainers reliably resist clogging and fouling when faced with micron-sized particles, oversized solids, and high solids concentration.

Cooling towers and boilers consume the most fresh water in the industry, with industrial process waters carrying the balance. Power plants and refineries use more water volume for the cooling process than any other area of the facility. Mining and food and beverage industries consume higher volumes for their processes. Clean water may come from a range of sources, including clarified surface waters, groundwater or properly treated wastewater (reuse) sources.

After an international tender process, the Israel Electric Company (IEC) chose Fluence to design, manufacture, and supply containerized ultrapure water production systems for use as makeup water for heat-recovery steam generators (HRSG) and for NOx emission reduction at recently upgraded power plants across Israel. More than 15 units of 20 m3/h production modules, each fitted in two 40-foot shipping containers, were provided to seven power plants. Their compact design allowed for ease of installation, operation, and maintenance while meeting the customer’s demanding engineering standards.

The power sector looks to zero liquid discharge and taps municipal reclaimed water as a water reuse strategy.

For some instruments, downtime is necessary while service operations are undertaken. Swan Analytical Instruments has developed technology for power and industrial water/steam monitoring systems to enable uninterrupted operation.

Automated scraper strainers pre-filter water and wastewater to protect fragile membrane systems from damage caused by large, suspended particles, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

The elevated risk of Legionella contamination in closed facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for water safety plans for buildings of all sizes and functions to prevent further public health hazards.

Advanced oxidation provides an all-in-one solution that supports the complete eradication of Legionella in a water system, while also preventing its regrowth.

We arm farmers with mission-critical water data to help enhance crop yield and taste. KETOS delivers valuable insights for fluctuations in deficiency and toxicity.

The pressures of various risk factors, regulations, and responsibilities require a commitment to improve industrial water management.

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a tool that has revolutionized many fields of study.  It also goes by some other names that you may come across including Second Generation Sequencing (SGS) and massively parallel sequencing (MPS).
