71. Here's How Wastewater Facilities Could Tackle Food Waste, Generate Energy, And Slash Emissions 8/3/2023

    Most Australian food waste ends up in landfill. Rotting in the absence of oxygen produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. While some facilities capture this “landfill gas” to produce energy, or burn it off to release carbon dioxide instead, it’s a major contributor to climate change. Valuable resources such as water and nutrients are also wasted.

72. WWEMA Window: The Evolving Industrial Sales Channel 7/19/2023

    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.

73. Video: Getting Off The Water Grid, With Membranes 7/14/2023

    Membranes have long been proven effective for a variety of applications, but certain other applications pose difficulties for the technology, mostly due to O&M concerns. Next-generation membranes, however, have the ability to overcome traditional challenges — just in time to meet requirements for greater contaminant removal and sustainability.

74. ACC: Overly Broad PFAS Restrictions Could Endanger Healthcare Quality And Cost 7/14/2023
    PFAS are under regulatory and legislative assault at the federal and state levels. In the zeal to eliminate some of these chemistries, however, regulators and lawmakers may undermine the ability to provide life-saving healthcare in the U.S.
75. Ukraine Dam Breach Caused Economic, Agricultural, And Ecological Devastation That Will Last For Years 7/7/2023

    When an explosion breached the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine on June 6, 2023, much analysis focused on near-term impacts, including the flooding of the city of Kherson, threats to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and consequences for Ukrainian military forces’ expected spring offensive against Russian troops. But the most severe long-term effects will fall on Southeast Ukraine’s farmers.

76. Mitigating Water Concerns With A Target-Setting Framework 7/7/2023
    The Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) recently launched its new freshwater method, developed in collaboration with sustainability consulting firm Quantis to help companies reduce their impact on water systems and build long-term resilience to climate change.

    Discover the solution that has helped a global miner experience improved reliability and reduced spending on spare parts and maintenance.

78. Why More Enterprises And Communities Should Turn To Decentralized Wastewater Treatment 6/26/2023

    Decentralized wastewater treatment solutions aren’t limited to domestic services. As industrial effluent regulations become more stringent, many enterprises can turn to decentralized, onsite wastewater treatment. There are various advantages to implementing this solution, and specific industries can greatly benefit from doing so. However, before diving into those details, it’s essential to walk through the ins and outs of decentralized wastewater treatment.

79. Arsenic Contamination Of Food And Water Is A Global Public Health Concern — Researchers Are Studying How It Causes Cancer 6/9/2023

    Arsenic is a naturally occurring element found in the Earth’s crust. Exposure to arsenic, often through contaminated food and water, is associated with various negative health effects. We study it can lead to cancer through the formation of cancer stem cells.

80. Managing Industrial Wastewater With The Help Of CMMS 6/5/2023
    Industrial wastewater management plays a vital role in the smooth functioning of industrial and commercial processes. It's crucial to treat wastewater properly before releasing it into the environment. Dealing with wastewater operations and maintenance is no easy task as it involves adhering to multiple federal, state, and local regulations.
