What To Watch As The Texas Legislature Takes Up Climate, Energy, Water, And More

We’re past the midpoint of the Texas legislative session and the bill filing deadline is behind us. Because the legislature only meets for five months every other year, there’s a lot to accomplish in a short span.

Submersible Pumps Sales Soar On Back Of Digitization And New Initiatives On Wastewater Treatment

The global submersible pumps market size will expand 1.5X in the coming decade. Submersible pumps are emerging as the preferred pumping technology across various end-uses, including wastewater management and oil & gas manufacturing. Submersible pumps are considered ideal for applications involving highly viscous fluid that require proper elimination of vapor cavities.

Electrocoagulation Provides Economical Solution To Oil And Gas Waste Problem

A new generation of electrocoagulation-based water treatment has successfully treated wastewater and effluent from a remote onshore natural gas exploration and production project with over three years of continuous operation. To compound the challenges of treating this wastewater and effluent, the unit was required to operate in an extremely environmentally sensitive environment — a pristine tropical rainforest.

Pile Cloth Media Filtration Effectively Removes COD And TSS From Oil Refinery Wastewater

This application profile focuses on two test sites with different treatment requirements and describes how Aqua-Aerobic Systems’ OptiFiber® pile cloth media filtration was used at both sites to address the removal of harmful constituents from refinery wastewater.

Diamond Electrode Wastewater Treatment Shines Bright

No business wants the word "toxic" associated with its operations. The world has grown very weary (and wary) of companies that aren't environmentally responsible. So while toxic wastewater as a byproduct of mining, oil refining, or other industrial processes isn't new, the impetus to treat these streams is steadily rising.

Municipal Water Reuse Done Right: Lessons In Efficiency

California water reuse program provides multiple benefits, serving as a model for other municipalities.

A Cool Method For Industrial Water Reuse

By harvesting heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) condensate, industrial operations can take advantage of a cool, convenient source of clean water.

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.

Replacing Filter Presses With Depth Filter Cartridges For Beer Clarification

Filter presses have long been used by breweries in cellar operations to clarify non-pasteurized or draft beer prior to final membrane filtering and packaging. This clarification process is essential to economical membrane filtration—beer not prepared in this manner will more quickly plug the downstream membrane filters, leading to higher processing costs.

Distillery Wastewater Byproducts Fuel Sustainability

For distilleries, high levels of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nitrogen, total dissolved solids (TDS), and total suspended solids (TSS) put extra pressure on optimal biological treatment requirements. Here are some techniques that can help distillers put a little extra money in the bank while meeting the challenges of environmental discharge requirements.

Demineralize Water Production In A Power Plant

A power company was concerned with the in-line ultrasonic flow meter that was showing unstable results. Learn about the solution that they chose to address this issue. 

A Cool Method For Industrial Water Reuse

By harvesting heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) condensate, industrial operations can take advantage of a cool, convenient source of clean water.

Keeping The Operator In Focus: The Four Pillars Of Operator Effectiveness

This paper shows how the four pillars of operator effectiveness lead operators to greater awareness, faster response and better decisions.

El Paso Electric Should Protect The City's Water And Let Solar Power Shine

Resiliency is a hot button word right now. Ten years ago, advocates focused on “adaptation,” or the idea of adapting to the coming effects of climate change. Now the focus is on “resiliency,” the ability to bounce forward — not backward — when something disastrous happens.

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.

Webinar: Optimize Mixed Bed & EDI Systems With Integrated Membrane System Designs

Discover how integrated membrane system designs can maximize the operating stability of EDI systems and reduce mixed bed regeneration frequency.

5 Ways To Use Flow Meters In Biopharmaceutical Processing

Biopharmaceutical processing is highly precise, and people must rely on various measuring devices to control costs, maintain quality, and avoid accidents. They often use flow meters to accomplish many of those aims. Here are some specific ways professionals working in pharmaceutical processing use these devices, making them so instrumental in successful outcomes.

An 11-Step Plan To Prepare For Upstream Chemical Spills

A catastrophic chemical spill in 2014 inspired a research group to develop a methodology for how such drinking water disasters could be avoided by systems in the future.

How Do We Solve The Problem Of Agricultural Nutrient Runoff?

Agricultural runoff from Midwestern farms is a major contributor to a vast “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico. Nitrogen, phosphorous and other farm nutrients drain into the Mississippi River, which empties into the Gulf, spurring algae to overpopulate and suffocating other aquatic life. Illinois is a main culprit in this ongoing environmental blight.
