Water and Wastewater Solutions For Industry

1. Diamond Electrode Wastewater Treatment Shines Bright 2/25/2016

   No business wants the word "toxic" associated with its operations. The world has grown very weary (and wary) of companies that aren't environmentally responsible. So while toxic wastewater as a byproduct of mining, oil refining, or other industrial processes isn't new, the impetus to treat these streams is steadily rising.

2. Where's The Fire? Industrial Uses For Fire Hydrant Meters 1/23/2019

   There are many options for ensuring accurate billing of water used at established industrial customer locations. But how do municipalities or businesses keep track of water availability and use for intermittent applications or movable access points? We spoke with McCrometer, Inc.’s Marc Bennett for insight into how water utilities and industries can efficiently track and allocate water use for billing or internal accounting purposes in such ad hoc applications.

3. EPA's ENTACT Study Breaks New Ground With Non-Targeted Research 8/1/2018

   EPA scientists are leading a multi-phase project to evaluate the ability of non-targeted analysis laboratory methods to consistently and correctly identify unknown chemicals in samples. EPA’s Non-Targeted Analysis Collaborative Trial (ENTACT) was formed in late 2015 and includes nearly 30 academic, government, and industry groups. Non-targeted analysis involves analyzing water, soil and other types of samples to identify unknown chemicals that may be present, without having a preconceived idea of what chemicals may be in the samples.

4. Super-Charged Wastewater Treatment And Energy Production 10/28/2015

   “Bioelectrochemistry” is a mouthful, but it’s a word you should get familiar with if your goal is sustainable, energy-efficient industrial wastewater treatment.

5. Black Liquor Evaporation And Chloride Removal System 3/4/2015

   The Smurfit-Stone Hopewell mill needed to replace the existing three evaporator trains that were currently in place at this facility with one very highly integrated system.

6. Turning The Tide On Water Scarcity With High-Efficiency Technology 12/18/2024
   Installing or upgrading high-efficiency motors in water management reduces energy consumption and emissions throughout the water management process, from pumping stations to water treatment plants and irrigation systems.
7. Treatment Of Produced Water By Electrocoagulation 2/10/2016

   Produced water (PW) is salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil or gas during production. It subsists under high pressures and temperatures, and usually contains hydrocarbons and metals. Therefore, it must be treated before being discharged to surface water. Different techniques are being used to treat PW through phase separations, system control and design, and chemical treatments. In this paper, we discuss our experimental results on treating PW through electrocoagulation (EC).

8. Water Lines May Cost More Due To The Tax Cut And Jobs Act 5/31/2018

   This is the first post in a two-post series discussing the practical effect of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on construction, dedication, and utilization of water lines in Pennsylvania. 

9. 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.

10. Industrial Flow Measurement Basics And Practice 8/8/2018

    In the recent decades, the market for the products of the industrial process industries has changed greatly. The manufacture of mass products has shifted to locations where raw materials are available economically. Competitive pressures have forced a swing to specialization as well as to an ability to adapt to customers desires. The systems are designed so that the economic data, such as raw material properties, raw material costs, batch sizes, are quickly integrated into the processes. An important consideration is the assurance and improvement of product quality.
