PetroSorb Activated Carbons For Oil And Gas Processing

As refinery operations are forced to generate more product output from marginal raw material sources with aging equipment, the requirement to maintain an acceptable quality of processing chemicals becomes more difficult. Activated carbon used in a fixed bed can continuously treat process chemicals, either in full or in a partial treatment stream to restore their properties in line with virgin product. This greatly enhances the economy of the production process and permits the conversion of more heavily contaminated resources that were previously difficult to exploit.

Who Should Own Your Water? The Public vs. Private Utility Debate

For decades, policymakers, industry experts, and communities have debated whether water utilities should be publicly or privately owned. Proponents of private water management argue that market-driven efficiencies can lead to better service and infrastructure investment, while advocates for public utilities emphasize the need for affordability, transparency, and public accountability.

From Source To Tap: Promoting Home Water Testing Year-Round

Water specialists do their best to ensure safe drinking water for people nationwide. Despite their diligence in monitoring and treating wastewater at municipal facilities, some households are still susceptible to contamination. Encouraging homeowners to regularly test their own water during the year will help pinpoint missed hazards and provide an additional safeguard.
