Importance Of Filtration in Water Treatment For Process Water & Wastewater Reuse
2/2/2021
Filtration is very important for many commercial/industrial process water & wastewater reuse applications. In reality, pumping wastewater from somewhere like a refinery, food/beverage, textile or oil produced water application requires pre-filtration due to high amount of suspended solids in these typical applications. In fact, there are typically several filtration and treatment steps in these applications to ensure that the treated water meets the required discharge or reuse standard. In addition, filtration in water treatment ensures reduced operating cost on downstream polishing water treatment systems.

Concrete Manufacturing Operation Meets Permit Requirements With PH Control System
1/30/2014
In order to meet its discharge permit limits, a ready-mix concrete manufacturing operation needed to neutralize its high pH process water. Staff installed a control system that automatically detects a rise in pH and treats the water with a modular in-line carbon dioxide feed system. The operation can now recycle treated water for rinsing trucks, supply recycled water into the concrete batching operation, and safely discharge the water into the environment.

California's Future Quagga-mire
8/5/2015
In the long list of issues that face the state of California, an aquatic species invasion isn’t likely to be a legislative priority. In the water world, an invasion of any kind means trouble for the industry. The problem isn’t so much about water quality; daily operations and important ecosystems will be affected. Clams roughly the size of a dime called quagga mussels have the potential to multiply and clog water intake structures. While they settle in, quagga mussels feed on important planktons that native organisms require to survive.
