As the oil industry grows, so does the amount of produced water that must be treated. A variety of technologies are available for produced water treatment. Water Online shares a side-by-side comparison. 

The Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and connectivity in drives is the future, and many market segments must modernize to compete. The world is more connected than ever with new technological advances that produce higher process efficiency and time savings. To stay competitive in this environment, companies must include automated solutions such as remote management, monitoring, and control.

A new report from the Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science of Texas (TAMEST) is shedding more light on what we know and don’t know about the potential health and environmental impacts caused by oil and gas development in Texas.

Researchers at MIT have developed a system that uses visible light to treat produced water, a potential economic and environmental savior for the oil and gas industry.

While dissolved gas can give beverages distinctive flavors and fizz, it can also corrode boiler equipment and cause problems in microelectronics. With 3M’s advanced gas transfer membrane technology, you have the power to control dissolved gases with precision. Dive in to learn the ins and outs of 3M Liqui-Cel technology.

Located on the Klamath River in Hornbrook, California, Iron Gate Hatchery is a salmon and steelhead hatchery that releases fish back to the Klamath River. Due to the presence of fungus and microorganisms, hatchery yield was thwarted due to disease.

In this article, read about the emergence of business sustainability and sustainably-driven innovation as a force for change within wastewater treatment and the associated compliance functions of the food and beverage industry.

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.

No one enjoys being compelled to do things, especially when it dips into their wallet. For many in the industrial manufacturing and food processing sectors this is exactly what wastewater management is to them — a compulsory, bottomless money pit dug by regulatory bodies, seemingly just to make things difficult for business owners.

The production of food and beverage products in the U.S. accounts for around one-third of the total freshwater use of the country. While it is unimaginable to consume so much water just for yourself, industrial and agricultural applications are on a scale of their own. At the rate we are going, water demand is not going to slow down anytime soon. Water supply, on the other hand, is going in the other direction. 

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.

Late last millennium, Panametrics installed a model 6068 liquid clamp-on flow meter for the measurement of water in Kinlochleven Hydro Power, a hydroelectric power plant in Scotland, to monitor turbine generator performance.

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.

Stormwater is often thought of as a burden. Too much of it can overwhelm wastewater treatment facilities, flood communities, and lead to the pollution of lakes and rivers. There is debate on who’s in charge of it and how it should be managed. Several communities have invested millions, and some even billions, trying to control stormwater. Even chicken farmers have issues with stormwater.

The City of Bielefeld, Germany provides municipal utilities including electricity, natural gas, district heating, and water needs for a population of approximately 330,000. The municipality operates three gas-fired boilers with tapping turbines to feed into the district heating system that has a thermal peak load of 300 MW.

Commercial crushers and lump breakers use impact and force to reduce solids, lumps and chunks in size.

A market expert shines a light on the bright spots and trouble spots for industrial water reuse, revealing who should consider the practice and why.

As states and the federal government attempt to crack down on the proliferation of PFAS and their health consequences with a spate of new regulations, there is one significant upcoming ruling that will have tremendous impact for compliance and costs: the final rule on PFAS CERCLA designation.

Nutrient pollution is one of the most pressing issues currently facing U.S. waterways. Nutrient pollution primarily refers to when nitrogen and phosphorus, two elements that occur naturally, have adverse effects on water if they are overabundant. Excess nutrients are a result of runoff from fertilizers, detergents, wastewater, automobile emissions, and more. When these nutrients exceed natural amounts, it can lead to harmful algal blooms and hypoxia, which threaten aquatic biodiversity, as well as human health and industries like commercial fishing.

The West African City of Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire has historically provided drinking water to its five million residents from water treatment plants that use hydrated lime systems. But because of the high content of carbon dioxide in the local groundwater, up to 160 ppm, setting the water to calcium carbonate equilibrium using hydrated lime was economically, operationally and environmentally challenging for the city of Abidjan.

According to a new study conducted by the U.S. EPA, “forever chemicals” are far more harmful than previously believed.
