Water and Wastewater Solutions For Industry

1. Reducing Water-Food Nexus Pressures In America 1/17/2017

   Agricultural production is one of the most important sectors of the U.S. economy, contributing more than $300 billion to the country each year. When food service and other agriculture-related industries are included, this figure rises to over $750 billion.

2. Sackett v. EPA: A Collection Of Commentary 5/31/2023
   The Supreme Court recently passed down its latest verdict regarding what constitutes "waters of the United States" (WOTUS) and therefore what waterbodies the U.S. EPA has — or, more to the point, does not have — the authority to regulate. Here, I've collected various sets of commentary and reaction about Sackett v. EPA and the impact of the court's decision.
3. Rescuing Failed Aeration Systems 1/18/2017

   In wastewater treatment, aeration systems are more than just critical. They can be seen as the central nerve of the whole operation, the part of the process that usually costs the most to run and can cause the most havoc when it malfunctions.

4. Michigan Pipeline Standoff Could Affect Water Protection And Indigenous Rights Across The U.S. 8/17/2023

   Should states and Indigenous nations be able to influence energy projects they view as harmful or contrary to their laws and values? This question lies at the center of a heated debate over Enbridge Energy’s Line 5 pipeline, which carries oil and natural gas across Wisconsin and Michigan.

5. The Payoff From Improved Chemical Dilution 7/1/2021

   Chemical dilution systems play a critical role in many municipal and industrial water treatment systems. However, older technology tends to be less reliable and accurate while being a drain on resources, whereas a more advanced solution can significantly improve performance and generate labor savings.

6. CFD: Computational Fluid Dynamics Or Colorful Fluid Dynamics? 3/2/2018

   Queen’s immortal Bohemian Rhapsody asks a question that can directly apply to mathematical models: How do we know that numerical models are true? How do we know that they are defensible? More importantly, how can a modeler convey to customers the care he or she put into the model itself? Those questions are important to the water industry, where leading companies are making better use of sophisticated models every day.

7. Integrated Treatment System For Drinking Water 12/6/2020

   Amiad designed and supplied an integrated water filtration system for Dominica Island which combines three main stages of filtration and treatment, solving a problem: lack of quality drinking water.

8. Magnetic Flow Meter Measures Manure For Agricultural Spraying 11/26/2019

   Commercial livestock operations generate a significant amount of manure byproduct. The manure is sometimes sprayed in a liquefied form over agricultural fields as a fertilizer in between planting seasons.

9. The Reasons Behind The Wide Array Of Liner And Electrode Choices In Magnetic Flow Meters 4/14/2020

   Electromagnetic flow meters offer significant benefits in water, wastewater, and industrial applications because they can be reliably used to measure liquid with many different characteristics. Since these devices contain no moving parts, making them virtually maintenance-free, they are becoming the workhorse for a growing number of utilities and industrial operations. Despite the advantages, however, electromagnetic flow meters are often avoided based on the misconception that there are limitations on what they can measure.

10. OPUS Achieves Zero Wastewater Discharge 10/26/2016

    The client revived, expanded and modernized its operations in order to produce rare earth materials in high volumes and in an environmentally responsible manner. As part of the expansion, the client contracted Veolia to design and build a new water treatment plant for their state-of-the-art rare earth facility.
