Water and Wastewater Solutions For Industry

91. What's That Microplastic? Advances In Machine Learning Are Making Identifying Plastics In The Environment More Reliable 3/10/2025
    Microplastics — the tiny particles of plastic shed when litter breaks down — are everywhere, from the deep sea to Mount Everest, and many researchers worry that they could harm human health. Now, a team of scientists has developed a tool to make identification of microplastics using their unique chemical fingerprint more reliable.
92. 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.
93. Circuit Board Cleanliness Testing 10/29/2021

    Contamination of circuit boards can bring about severe degradation of insulation resistance and dielectric strength. Cleanliness of completed circuit boards is, therefore, of vital interest. For those companies who have established circuit board cleaning procedures, the MIL Spec P-28809 has been used as a guideline for control. Now a simple "on line" test for the relative measurement of ionic contamination has been developed.

94. New Drinking Water Regulations Sought For Algal Toxins 9/23/2014

    Excess nutrients, blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), and cyanotoxins have long been a problem for wastewater treatment plants — many states regulate nutrient levels in discharged water — but now drinking water plants are being eyed for regulation as well.

95. AOPs And Industry: Guidelines For Effective Contaminant Removal 3/7/2024

    Using ozone and UV advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can help industrial facilities achieve compliance, but what's the right process for your application?

96. Determination Of Hexanal In Foods Utilizing Dynamic Headspace 4/9/2015

    Hexanal is one of many well-documented aromatic components that contribute to flavor and aroma in common consumer food products containing omega-6 fatty acids. Hexanal content is also used to measure the oxidative status of foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids.

97. Electrowinning 101: What Is Electrowinning? 5/26/2016

    Electrowinning is a widely used technology in modern metal recovery, mining, refining, and wastewater treatment applications.

98. Seaboard Triumph Foods 5/28/2024

    Learn how Seaboard Triumph Foods replaced ineffective hydrogen peroxide treatment with SDOX technology, resulting in cost savings, improved sewer system, and enhanced odor control.

99. Officials View Producer Efforts to Improve Quality Of Chesapeake Bay 3/29/2018

    The Chesapeake Bay watershed, North America’s largest estuary, is huge. It includes parts of six states from New York to Virginia, the entire District of Columbia, and drains 64,000 square miles of land. The bay and surrounding area is home to a complex, intricate food web and a large population of wildlife. Various pollution sources cause stress on this system.

100. Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Pilot System Achieves Removals In Excess Of 95 Percent 5/6/2019

     The aluminum casting facility of a producer of semifabricated aluminum products utilizes a closed-loop contact water system that supplies water to multiple DC casting pits. An existing induced air flotation (IAF) system was used for the reduction of TSS, NTU, oil and grease, followed by a cooling tower. The treated and cooled water was then reused in the caster as contact water. The IAF had a removal efficiency of approximately 40 percent, required regular maintenance attention, operated at 125 HP and used an excessive amount of chemistry, resulting in extraordinarily high operating costs.
