Where Is RF Technology For Oil And Gas Headed?

Read for a quick snapshot of the technology movement we are seeing in the oil and gas industry right now.

Thermal Mass Flow Meters For Greenhouse Gas Emissions Monitoring

The U.S. EPA sets national ambient air quality and greenhouse gas emission standards to ensure public health. Thermal mass flow meters deliver a direct reading of mass flow rate of natural gas and other fuel gases — without temperature and pressure compensation — and provide a simple, reliable and cost-effective method for tracking and reporting fuel consumption.

New Report Offers Long-Awaited Answers About Reusing Oil And Gas Industry's Wastewater

A new report from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board’s Produced Water Working Group indicates that oil and gas companies looking for ways to dispose of large volumes of wastewater should focus on recycling those liquids within the oil and gas fields, and not use it for irrigation or other surface applications where human and environmental exposure is a risk.

A Better Option For Water Transfer In Oil And Gas Applications

Until recently, it was difficult to find an optimal meter for the harsh conditions that can occur during water transfer in oil and gas applications. The good news is that an effective, accurate, and rugged meter is emerging as an alternative.

The Water-Energy Nexus

September 2020, water joined precious metals, oil and other commodity futures traded on Wall Street amid fears of scarcity. In October, Chart Industries, Inc., a global manufacturer of engineered equipment for the industrial gas and energy industries, announced its acquisition of the water cleantech company BlueInGreen, LLC., which Chart’s CEO and President, Jill Evanko, described as a ‘natural fit’.

The Advantages Of Automating Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater treatment operations are beginning to embrace the power of automation. How can it help? And how is it implemented?

Wastewater Treatment Professionals In The Poultry Industry Are Using SDOX® Technology To Overcome Operational Challenges

This is the second in a series of articles and case studies examining the emergence of sustainably-driven innovation within the wastewater treatment functions of the food and beverage industry as sustainability and production issues intersect and influence how companies manage their wastewater.

Location, Location — The Key To Aeration

As with any industrial process, the right tool for the job depends on the nature of the task at hand. In aerobic wastewater treatment, that optimal choice often comes down to a balance between the biological and financial demands of the application. Either way, here are several performance comparisons of how multiple aeration methods and locations stack up in industrial wastewater treatment applications.

HOD™ UV Disinfection Solution For Dairy (PMO)

Atlantium’s HOD™ (Hydro-Optic Disinfection) UV technology is a proven, chemical-free solution for producing pasteurized equivalent water (PEW) in dairy processing.

Water Recycling Made Easy: A Guide To Water Reuse For Food and Beverage Manufacturers

Available water supply can be compromised by more than just drought — a challenge food and beverage manufacturers know well.

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.

Relieving The Pressure Of Monitoring Peak Boiler Water Efficiency

Industrial operations across the gamut leverage boiler water, the liquid that passes through a boiler and is converted into steam, thus powering operations around the world. But not all of them do as much as they could to ensure peak boiler water efficiency. Through the proper treatment considerations and quality measurement knowledge, every industrial player can make the most of this central process.

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.

Rounding Up The Water, Clean Energy, And Climate Bills In The 85th Texas Legislative Session

We’re entering the home stretch of the 85th Session of the Texas Legislature.

Cryptocurrency And Water

With the meltdown of FTX and the price of Bitcoin sinking to a quarter of its high water mark of over $64,000 in value (now maybe two bit Bitcoin?), I decided to resurrect my 2018 post Is Cryptocurrency Going Down the Drain?...

WWEMA Window: The Evolving Industrial Sales Channel

When I went to work for a manufacturer of mixing and aeration systems in the mid-1980s, all municipal sales were channeled through manufacturers’ representatives who covered their territories by networking with municipalities, consulting engineers, and contractors, and that same type of sales channel existed on the industrial side. This remains one of the major pathways for municipal sales today, but the industrial sales channel has changed markedly.

Groundwater Remediation

Good quality groundwater is an important natural resource. It provides drinking water for the public as well as process water for industrial applications. Groundwater can become contaminated through a number of ways including improper handling of process chemicals or disposal of wastes.

Precise Level And Interface Measurement In Wastewater Tanks

Guided wave radar technology provides accurate and reliable level and interface measurement in effluent treatment areas, ensuring regulatory compliance and reducing costs in wastewater applications.

California Dreaming: The Need For Homegrown Agricultural Water Technology

In drought-plagued California, the supply of water falls well short of demand — with food production hanging in the balance. The implications are felt globally, but relief can be found locally.

Ensure Success For Your Rental Pump

Using the wrong rental pump for the application can cause unexpected or unnecessary costs, as well as delays and downtime. Here’s how to determine the right rental pump for a given project.
