Methods To Control Odors From Anaerobic Digester Plants And Prevent Nuisance To Nearby Communities

Anaerobic digestion is a practical and efficient technology to utilize considerable amounts of organic waste from intensive animal production and food processing and wastage during distribution/consumption, municipal waste, etc. to produce methane gas for electricity generation, local/process heating, and direct injection into the gas supply network.

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.

Pumps Improve Wastewater Treatment In A Sugar And Bioethanol Plant

In the sugar and bioethanol industries, robustness and reliability of the equipment are of paramount importance. The XFP pumps were taken into operation in 2013 and have been running continuously since then, without any interruption or specific maintenance.

Fresh Air, Fresh Fish

Farming operations to plan and control fish reproduction have been around since the 15th century and are a sophisticated, mechanized arm in the food production industry today. In Poland, traditionally, trout farms are relatively small family businesses where product quality remains high during every stage of the process. Learn how Kaeser’s rotary blowers turned a rural fishpond into an automated aqua farm by delivering air to ensure the fish are raised in the best possible environment.

OPUS Achieves Zero Wastewater Discharge

The client revived, expanded and modernized its operations in order to produce rare earth materials in high volumes and in an environmentally responsible manner. As part of the expansion, the client contracted Veolia to design and build a new water treatment plant for their state-of-the-art rare earth facility.

Filtration System For Thermoelectric Plant

AES Gener is the second generating company in Chile and the main thermoelectric generator, and provides 4.068 MW (including Guacolda S.A.), equivalent to a share of 22%, whereas 3.797 MW of thermoelectric capacity and 271 MW of hydroelectric capacity.

The Basics Of Anti-Friction Pump Bearings

When we think of pumps, we seem to focus on what material is being pumped, how fast, how efficient and overall reliability. However, what we tend to not think about as much are the little heroes inside the pump that are making it all go around, no pun intended.

Water Runs Through The Circular Economy

Circular economy approaches can add value to a vast range of processes and product sectors, but water is the ‘blue thread’ that flows through it all, Nick Jeffries tells Paul O’Callaghan, chief executive, BlueTech Research.

New Research Shows That Exposure To Chemicals Like BPA Disrupts Microbial Communities In Zebrafish

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. In recent years, science has shown that exposure to BPA and its alternatives can result in possible human health effects. Adverse effects on neurodevelopment, behavior, metabolism, and the immune and cardiovascular systems have been found in human and animal models. As a result, regulators and researchers are interested in learning more about bisphenol chemicals.

Harnessing 20 Years Of Evolution In Wastewater Bioprocess Aeration

Cost-efficient aeration still remains an underlying challenge. This Q&A article provides a look at how the industry arrived at today’s opportunities and where it’s headed for the future.

Pulp & Paper Wastewater Treatment - Innovative Treatment For Efficient Water Management

The paper and pulp industry is among the largest industrial users of water resources operating across the world. Typically, pulp and paper industry operations require on average about 54-70 m3 (18,000 gallons) of water per metric ton (2200 pounds) of processed paper goods. This water usage is staggering, and water is used in almost every single part of the pulp and paper manufacturing process. These paper mills produce significant quantities of both waste water and residual sludge waste from initial pulp digestion to pulp slurries, and washing the paper making machinery.

Spectral Sensitivity And Water Biosecurity In RAS

Medium-pressure lamps, emitting a broader spectrum of UV light, are far more effective at inactivating viruses and bacteria compared to traditional low-pressure lamps. Explore this and its implications for water biosecurity in aquaculture.

Farmers Can Save Water With Wireless Technologies, But There Are Challenges — Like Transmitting Data Through Mud

The Internet of Things is a network of objects equipped with sensors so they can receive and transmit data via the internet. In agriculture, it involves technologies such as wireless underground communications, subsurface sensing, and antennas in soil. These systems help farmers track conditions on their land in real time, and apply water and other inputs such as fertilizer exactly when and where they are needed.
