  • Capacitance Level Switches Provide Reliable Water/Oil Interface Detection

    There are a number of point level approaches to measuring the interface between water and oil for water dump control in the oil and gas industry. However, each has disadvantages — manual methods introduce human error, conductivity switches are rendered inaccurate by buildup, and float switches are susceptible to wear and tear. This white paper introduces capacitance level switches as an accurate and reliable alternative for water/oil interface detection.

  • EPA-New Mexico Wastewater Report Is A Conversation Starter, Not The Final Word

    When it comes to answering questions about whether the oil and gas industry’s wastewater can be safely reused for other purposes, like food crops, livestock, or even drinking water, there are a number of other serious factors to be considered.

  • Milk Waste - BOD, FOG, PO4

    A milk producer operates an evaporated milk production facility that generates an average of 58,000 gpd of contaminated water with spikes of 1,200 gallons up to 12 times per day. Two 2,000 gallon batch tanks are used for pH adjustment before discharge. Most of the flow goes through the tanks.

  • Salmon Hatchery Upgrades Its UV Disinfection System

    While the facility was receiving awards and accolades for their aquaculture production, they were having challenges keeping their former UV system operating consistently and reliably. Spare parts were expensive and they often experienced periods of down-time, negatively affecting operations.

  • 3 Innovative Ways PepsiCo Is Implementing Circular Water Systems The pervasive and increasing incidence of water stress could perhaps be the most clear-cut consequence of climate change. As weather patterns become increasingly erratic and destructive, floods and drought are continuing to deplete water resources. We're no longer seeing predictable rainy and dry seasons to balance water tables. Couple this with growing and migrating populations that create an ever-increasing water demand, and the result is the undeniable water stress we're seeing globally.

  • Why Strategic Choices — And Water — Could Make People More Energy-Efficient

    At my household, a new year means a new energy and water-use baseline. By that I mean, every month, I look at how much electricity and water I used in comparison to the same month the previous year — so I can try to be as efficient as possible. But I work in the energy field, and I know that’s not a typical New Year’s tradition. Most people don’t examine the trends of their energy-use or spend much time thinking about how to reduce it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • What Is The Importance Of Pretreatment For Industrial Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment?

    Your body is a machine. Like most machines, you have to properly maintain your body in order for it to function properly. Along with regular cleaning and checkups, you also have to be cognizant of what food you put into your body or else it won’t work at its maximum potential. An industrial reverse osmosis water treatment system actually works in quite a similar way.
