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.

Can SNOWater Fix Fracking Treatment?

As the popularity of hydraulic fracturing continues to strain available water supplies, a new technology may be the key to recycling produced water in an affordable way.

Reliable Thermal Switch Ensures Safe Operation Of Loading Arms At Marine Terminal To Prevent Spills

A leading European-based marine terminal operator with locations on every major continent is responsible for the managing, handling, storing and distribution of large quantities of oil and gas, as well as refined petrochemicals, which serve industries and consumers around the globe. The company’s thousands of employees are highly trained and are focused on the safe, reliable and efficient storage of large quantities of bulk products at each of its locations.

Conducting Accurate Conductivity Measurement In Industrial Applications

While some water quality parameters may get more attention in industrial settings, few are more critical than conductivity. Understanding conductivity monitoring for industrial applications — where it is needed, how it works, and how to leverage the appropriate instruments and standards in order to pinpoint it — will unlock huge gains in efficiency, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance.

How Food And Beverage Companies Can Get Ahead Of The Water Scarcity Curve

High-quality water is critical to food and beverage production — both as an ingredient and a process enabler — so the sourcing challenges faced by municipal water systems pose an ongoing threat to the health of the industry. Fortunately, there are a variety of technology options now available to improve water security.

The Rotostrainer Joins The Craft Beer Revolution

Spent hops and general brewery wastewater are natural by-products of the beer-making process and must be reused or disposed of accordingly. Some brewers are charged substantial fines for dumping high-solids wastewater into the city sewer system. With Parkson Rotostrainers, over 90% of the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of wastewater can be filtered out, greatly reducing the city sewer charges. Many breweries can even sell much of the spent grain and other captured solids to local farms as livestock feed, thereby profiting on an otherwise ‘waste’ product.

Wastewater Management In The Food Industry Food production not only uses a lot of water in their products, but they also deal with unique wastewater challenges. These challenges are compounded by the varying nature of contaminants present in food & beverage wastewater. Treatment facilities must be designed to handle fluctuating volumes and compositions of wastewater, while maintaining consistent performance.

Co-Digesting Food Waste With Wastewater Solids To Produce Energy

Inspired in part by California’s Senate Bill 1383, which was enacted to reduce organic waste and methane emissions, co-digestion is fulfilling those goals while converting wastewater treatment plants into water resource recovery facilities.

QUA UF Membranes Provide Pretreatment for Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) System

Straight Talk On Radiation

From time-to-time I write on topics that are related to water and wastewater as a "backgrounder" so that those involved in the field can gain a wider perspective and have available to them a cogent explanation minus jargon on various topics. By Dr. J.H. Wakefield

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.

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.

Is It Time To Reassess Your Industrial Membrane Filtration Infrastructure?

With infrastructure being such a hot topic these days, it is only fitting that industrial water treatment professionals take a second look at their own infrastructure. Here are some areas where new pressures from the impacts of climate change, population growth, or government regulations can benefit from improved filtration membrane technology approaches.
