2 Applications That Triggered The Rise Of Coriolis Flow Measurement

Coriolis measurement has been adopted as a default technology in many application scenarios due to its high accuracy and immunity to process variables (temperature, pressure and flow profile). However, Coriolis wasn't always widely accepted. Two applications, in particular, helped what was once a nascent flow measurement technology gain a foothold in the marketplace.

AnoxKaldnes MBBR Reduced Wastewater OPEX At Meat Processing Facility

Valley Pride Pack wanted to reduce the operational costs associated with their wastewater treatment system.

PepsiCo's Vision: Improving Water Wherever It Operates As Senior Director of Global Climate and Water Solutions for PepsiCo, Grant oversees a program that actually improves water conditions, rather than simply mitigating PepsiCo's own impact or embracing sustainability merely for efficiency/business benefits. In this Q&A, Grant details PepsiCo's philosophy on water stewardship, the elements of their ambitious water strategy, and the outcomes they hope to achieve.

How To Maximize Microbrewery Production Lines

A microbrewer’s expertise is in brewing, not engineering. Discover how you can get the most out of production lines without the costs associated with hiring outside engineers or experts.

CleanFlo™ Monoscreen® Case Study

When the polar bears at the Brookfield Zoo were introduced to their new habitats at the Great Bear Wilderness, they had no idea how much more fulfilling their life would become.

Dechlorination Of RO Feed Water In Power Station

Plant Bowen, a coal-fired power station in Georgia, successfully implemented Atlantium's HOD UV technology to eliminate microbial growth and improve the performance of their reverse osmosis system. The HOD UV system removed chlorine, reduced maintenance costs, and extended the lifespan of membranes.

Radioactive Waste: Can Membranes Reduce The Fear Factor?

It’s no wonder that the word "radioactive" scares people. I remember Chernobyl. I was raised on The Simpsons, with its bumbling plant operators and three-eyed fish. I've followed the Fukushima tragedy closely. But, scary or not, nuclear power isn't going anywhere soon.

Maximum Water Reuse, Zero Liquid Discharge — A Power Plant Case Study

ELCOGAS, established in 1992 with the aim of building and operating a 335 MW Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant as well as the commercialization of its technology.

Desalination And Power Plants—An Ideal Partnership?

A partnership between power and desalination plants may be the solution to drinking water scarcity. Researchers are working on a new system that can create potable water using a low-temperature desalination process powered by waste heat from a waterless power plant cooling system.

Ensuring Optimal Water Sanitation In Swimming Pools And Water Attractions

Clear water isn’t always clean. Proper pool sanitation requires balanced chemistry, accurate chemical dosing, and correctly sized equipment to ensure safety, comfort, and compliance.

Laundry Water Recovery System Reduces Freshwater Use By Over 50 Percent

In Mexico City, few residents have tap water or washing machines and most visit laundromats to clean their clothes. To keep up with demand, most of the city’s laundromats take delivery of fresh water three or four times per day at great expense to facility owners. Virtually none of this water is reused or recycled. 

New Methods Extend Options For NPDES Compliance Testing

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), introduced as part of the 1972 Clean Water Act, has continued to evolve as new challenges and new technologies emerge. Its latest update, due to go into effect on July 19, 2021, expands the analytical test methods available to governing bodies, industries, and municipalities for compliance reporting under the NPDES permit program. Here is what that entails.

High-Frequency Water Quality Monitoring To Ensure Compliance

A leading American supplier of carbon and alloy steel bar, rod, and wire faced a number of issues including effluent discharge containing heavy metals. They had a need for frequent testing to ensure compliance. Sampling and testing was time consuming, expensive, and very labor intensive. 

When It Comes To Water, California Is The Canary In The Gold Mine

Talking to a friend a couple of weeks ago, the malaprop "canary in the gold mine" popped into the conversation. That was worth a chuckle, but then a moment of reflection. What a perfect way to describe California, nicknamed The Golden State by eager miners during the Gold Rush of the 1840s and '50s, that has been yielding a steady stream of riches from its farms, forests, mines, and minds ever since.
