  2. In Storms Like Hurricane Helene, Flooded Industrial Sites And Toxic Chemical Releases Are A Silent And Growing Threat 10/1/2024

    Hundreds of industrial facilities with toxic pollutants were in Hurricane Helene’s path as the powerful storm flooded communities across the Southeast in late September. In disasters like these, the industrial damage can unfold over days, and residents may not hear about releases of toxic chemicals into water or the air until days or weeks later, if they find out at all. Yet pollution releases are common.

  3. From Waste To Power: How Floating Solar Panels On Wastewater Ponds Can Secure Electricity 9/25/2024

    Wastewater ponds may seem an unlikely place to look for solutions an electricity security crisis. But their underutilized surfaces could help tackle two problems at once — high power prices and algal growth.

  4. Innovative Technologies For Water Conservation And Management 9/17/2024
    One of the globe's major problems is the lack of water, but due to the growing demand for water in the fields of agriculture and industry, as well as a population shift to cities, efficient water use is made more urgent. The good news is that there are newly implemented technologies that deal with the issue of water conservation and management.
  5. Technological Services In Wastewater Remote Monitoring And Management 9/4/2024
    Recent improvements in remote monitoring and management technologies, particularly in the wastewater treatment sector, have revolutionized operational efficiency.

  7. What's Next After Supreme Court Curbs Regulatory Power: More Focus On Laws' Wording, Less On Their Goals 7/1/2024

    Federal Chevron deference is dead. SCOTUS overturned a 40-year-old legal tenet that when a federal statute is silent or ambiguous about a particular regulatory issue, courts should defer to the implementing agency’s reasonable interpretation of the law. At question is whether most courts will still listen to expert federal agencies in determining which interpretations make the most sense.

  8. Industrial Water Treatment Solutions In Texas To Combat Water Scarcity 5/23/2024
    Imagine a world where you could optimize a modular treatment system approach. No more one-size-fits-all solutions or sky-high costs. Texas industrial companies are diving into the world of modular water treatment, and they're not looking back.
  9. Reducing Wastewater Hauling Through An Advanced Membrane Treatment Technology 5/3/2024
    Hauling wastewater is one of the most expensive and least sustainable means of managing wastewater, significantly impacting the environment through carbon emissions, and drastically increasing operational costs. As industries strive to meet environmental and economic goals, finding sustainable wastewater treatment methods is needed — now more than ever.
  10. Water Is Beer 3/25/2024
    My water career started with beer. No, not the amount I drank on my way to my chemical engineering degree at Manhattan College. I mean the 10,000+ hours I spent optimizing filtration systems in breweries throughout the world.
