Discfilters Treat Up To 12,000 gpm Of Secondary Sewage For Cooling Water

The client is one of the largest combined electric and gas companies in the United States, servicing 1.8 million gas customers and 2.2 million electric customers in more than 300 urban, suburban and rural communities. Following a successful site visit, the Client contracted Veolia for the treatment of up to 2725m³/h (12,000 gpm) of sewage plant effluent for cooling tower make-up.

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.

Refinery Treats Groundwater Contamination While Saving Precious Facility Space

A large, Midwestern oil refinery installed two identical, 110’ diameter S&L Model R OXIGEST® treatment systems to solve a groundwater treatment problem on-site. Each plant incorporates aeration, clarification, and effluent holding, treating peak flows of 7.2 MGD combined; 4.3 MGD in each plant.

Magnetic Flow Meters Improve Recycling Of Gas Well-Produced Water

As old gas & oil fields play out, newer methods must be used to extract resources from areas where they are locked in layers of shale. One current technique is known as “fraccing,” in which high pressure water is pumped into the well shaft to “fracture” the rock layers, allowing more natural gas to escape and be collected. However, this technique poses a number of environmental problems, including contamination of water with hydrocarbons, solid particulates, and scale producing ions — making it unsuitable for reuse.

Refinery Improves Boiler Air-To-Fuel Mixture Performance With Help From Multipoint Thermal Flow Meter

A major oil refinery’s plant team ran into challenging issues when they attempted to optimize their large primary boiler system, which initially perplexed the plant’s process engineers. After extensive study, it was determined there was a problem controlling the boiler’s burner air-to-fuel mixture ratio.

Water And Hospitality Come Together To Tackle FOG

Water companies are prioritizing engagement with the hospitality sector in their drive to keep sewers free of fats, oils and grease (FOG). Network protection managers at Southern Water and United Utilities, Stephen Williams and Andrew Peet, tell Laura Su, managing director of the European FOG Summit, why cross-sector partnerships must be forged.

8 Reasons To Revisit Quats For Cooling-Water Algae Control

The need for cooling-water systems is common among industrial applications, but the treatments needed to keep them operating at peak efficiency can change from location to location and season to season. Here is why a different type of quaternary ammonium compound (quat) algaecide has an important role to play in balancing performance, efficiency, and total lifecycle costs across many cooling-water-treatment regimens.

Tap Vs. Bottled Taste Test: Consumers Weigh In

DC Water’s taste test shines the spotlight on municipal water quality, public perception, and consumer relations.

Autolyzed Excess Yeast: Control Breweries Energy Footprint

Beer brewing and processing is complex and energy intensive. And despite significant technological improvements, energy consumption remains a major environmental challenge in the brewing industry, together with wastewater and produced byproducts.

How To Improve Water Conservation In Food And Beverage Processing

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.

How The Middle East Is Transforming Its Power And Water Industry

Global demand for power and water is accelerating — and the Middle East is no exception. A burgeoning population combined with multiple industrial diversification programs is fueling a boom in power and water projects. During the first three quarters of 2017, about US$30 billion of major power contracts and US$20 billion of water projects were awarded across the region. In 2018, the figure is looking more like $60 billion with the two sectors combined.

The Key To Accurate Waste Gas Flow Measurement

Wastewater treatment facilities have a tremendous opportunity to utilize the biogas they generate to lower energy costs and minimize odors. However, the practice isn’t as widespread as it could be, as the precision gas flow and methane content readings required to optimize the process often clash with the misconception that biogas is messy and difficult to measure reliably. With the proper equipment, it is possible to accurately measure biogas to cut emissions and reduce or eliminate the energy bill.

U.S. Power Profile Shift Sparks Water Opportunity

The power sector looks to zero liquid discharge and taps municipal reclaimed water as a water reuse strategy.

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.

DELUMPER® Crusher Plays Important Role In Float Glass Production

Guardian Industries Corp.’s float glass plant in South Carolina was in search of a crusher to aid in their glass production process. They needed a unit that could break up the electrostatic precipitator material and prevent pneumatic transport plugs. Without the efficient breaking of these lumps, the process was interrupted, wasting time and money.

Legionella Conference 2018: Controlling This Deadly Bacteria Will Take A Village

Controlling Legionnaires’ disease will require a universal, preventive-based approach by a bevy of stakeholders ranging from building owners to hospital administrators, from public health officials to policymakers, and from scientists to water system engineers.

How Industry Is Solving Its Water Supply Crisis The business case for industrial water reuse has fundamentally shifted. Companies once evaluated these systems against environmental goals or regulatory compliance costs. Today, they're measuring them against operational risk and supply security — a calculation that increasingly favors reuse regardless of sustainability credentials.

GeoSpray® CMP Culvert Lining Rehab In Cary, NC

The town of Cary, North Carolina, is an affluent municipality located southwest of Raleigh. The town is near the center of the Triangle region, a commuter area consisting of three major universities: Duke, UNC and NC State as well as the technology hub located in Research Triangle Park. The housing development of Preston is located adjacent to the Prestonwood Country Club, where housing values range between $300,000 and $1M. Bridle Creek Dr. is the main entrance to the community, and the golf course with Bridle Creek crossing though a triplet of 52”-54” CMP culverts. In 2016, a section of one of these culverts collapsed, creating a sinkhole on the side of the road. The collapse was quickly repaired with a new section of CMP, but the community was concerned that the remaining CMP sections were showing corrosion in the invert and it would be only a matter of time before a more serious collapse occurred.
