Water and Wastewater Solutions For Industry

  1. Electrocoagulation: A Shocking Approach To Wastewater Treatment 1/24/2014

    A growing number of wastewater treatment professionals are turning to electrocoagulation — a water treatment process that uses electric current to remove various contaminants from water.

  2. MABR Is The Big Cheese For This Dairy Farming WWTP 1/29/2018

    Hayogev is a residential development in the rural area of Jezreel Valley, with 1000 homes, agricultural fields and dairy farms. Located in an open field next to small farms, the local treatment facility handles wastewater from HaYogev and Midrach Oz. The customer was looking for a localized wastewater treatment solution to replace the existing pond system, which faced difficulties in treating the wastewater due to high levels of nutrients. A new state-level regulation concerning reclaimed water required the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operator to reduce the nutrients in the effluent stream. The solution had to be odorless and quiet, have low power consumption, and use the existing pond and structure.

  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. Using ATP To Rapidly Identify Sources Of Microbial Contamination In An Electrodeposition Coating Process 10/28/2020

    An automotive manufacturer in Europe had been experiencing issues associated with recurring microbial contamination of its electrodeposition (ED) coating bath, which can cause pitting in the undercoat and require manual polishing. A single contamination event could require manual repairs to hundreds of cars at a cost of tens of thousands of Euros (€).

  5. A Roundup Of Energy, Water, And Climate Bills In The 84th Texas Legislative Session 4/2/2015

    We’ve almost made it to the midway point of the 84th Session of the Texas Legislature. As many already know, the Texas Legislature only meets from January to May every other year, so a lot has to get done in these few months.

  6. Proposed Changes To The Risk Management Program (RMP) Rule 3/15/2016

    The Risk Management Program (RMP) is a law created to protect the greater community from the accidental release of highly hazardous chemicals. Under the Clean Air Act, Section 112(r)(7), there are requirements for the employer to have accident prevention plans for every facet of handling these chemical hazards.

  7. The Importance Of An Industrial Water Treatment Program 9/4/2014

    Water is considered the “life blood” of any facility for the simple reason that it transfers heat from one location to another.  A complete water treatment program has one goal in mind, to manage the efficiency of that heat transfer.

  8. New Research Shows That Exposure To Chemicals Like BPA Disrupts Microbial Communities In Zebrafish 12/18/2018

    Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. In recent years, science has shown that exposure to BPA and its alternatives can result in possible human health effects. Adverse effects on neurodevelopment, behavior, metabolism, and the immune and cardiovascular systems have been found in human and animal models. As a result, regulators and researchers are interested in learning more about bisphenol chemicals.

  9. From Zero To 2 Million 4/29/2016

    Since 1977, Endress+Hauser has produced over two million electromagnetic flowmeters. That is more than any other manufacturer. “This magic number stands for high-quality measuring technology and, above all, satisfied customers in all kinds of industries,” says Bernd-Josef Schäfer, Managing Director of Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG, the center of competence for flow measuring technology.

  10. Automatic Self-Cleaning Scraper Strainers Filter Smallest Particles To Largest Debris 4/29/2021

    Unlike backwash systems, scraper strainers reliably resist clogging and fouling when faced with micron-sized particles, oversized solids, and high solids concentration.
