Wastewater Application Notes

1. Magnetic Flow Meters Improve Recycling Of Gas Well-Produced Water 11/26/2019

   As old gas & oil fields play out, newer methods must be used to extract resources from areas where they are locked in layers of shale. One current technique is known as “fraccing,” in which high pressure water is pumped into the well shaft to “fracture” the rock layers, allowing more natural gas to escape and be collected. However, this technique poses a number of environmental problems, including contamination of water with hydrocarbons, solid particulates, and scale producing ions — making it unsuitable for reuse.

2. Textile Wastewater Treatment — An Application To Sustainably Reuse Water In The Textile Industry 1/30/2019

   The textile industry is a water consumption intensive industry. Water is utilized for cleaning the raw material, and for the different steps in the textile dyeing process. Due to the effects of water scarcity and stricter environmental regulations, the cost of fresh water utilization has increased worldwide.

3. Simultaneous Measurement Of Flow And Electrical Conductivity 9/19/2022

   Explore how additional costs for analytical conductivity measurement can be eliminated. 

4. Determination Of EN15662:2008 - Determination Of Pesticide Residue In Food Of Plant Origin, By An Automated QuEChERS Solution 9/24/2014

   Pesticide residue laboratories are required to undertake analyses of an ever increasing number of samples. The analyses typically involve use of multi-residue methods (both GC-MS and LC-MS) to test for over 500 pesticide residues.

5. A Non-Intrusive Solution For Measuring Wastewater Flow In A WWTP's Iron Pipes 12/13/2021

   A municipal association needed to understand if wastewater was being equally distributed across two cast iron pipes within its wastewater treatment plant. Learn how clamp-on ultrasonic measurement helped successfully measure the flow.  

6. Bridge Crossings And The Proper Use Of EX-TEND®, FLEX-TEND®, And Force Balanced FLEX-TEND Products 11/1/2020

   Of particular interest when it comes to bridges is the locating of pressurized water lines on and under bridge structures. Pressurized pipelines can present a number of unique challenges to the design engineer and utility owner.

7. Microbial Control In Cheese Making 12/5/2014

   Microbial contamination of food and beverage products is a potentially catastrophic occurrence resulting in foodborne illness or food spoilage. The same nutritive properties that render cheese and dairy products such a valuable food also provide an ideal growth medium for microbes if contamination occurs.

8. Municipal Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring 9/24/2020

   We arm municipalities with actionable data necessary to make informed decisions about water quality in their communities

9. Application Note: Environmental Applications Of The Agilent 1290 Infinity UHPLC: The Evolution Of Chromatography 2/6/2011
   This application note presents examples of the use of UHPLC (ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography) for environmental applications using the new Agilent 1290 Infinity LC. By E. Michael Thurman and Imma Ferrer Center for Environmental Mass Spectrometry Department of Environmental Engineering University of Colorado Boulder, CO, USA
10. Textile Manufacturing 10/29/2021

    The textile manufacturing industry encompasses many and diverse processes that rely heavily on the use of water, energy, chemicals, and other resources. Wet spinning, sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerization, dyeing and printing are just a few. Monitoring and controlling the pH, TDS/Conductivity/Salt Concentration, ORP (REDOX), and Temperature of the aqueous solutions used in these processes conserves costly resources, controls quality, and reduces the amount of pollution that must be treated before discharge of effluent wastes. This can be done manually with handheld instruments or automatically with in-line monitor/controllers.
