Water and Wastewater Solutions For Industry

  1. Equinox® Stabilizer: A Highly Effective, Halogen Stabilizer For Wet End Paper Applications 4/1/2021

    The proper selection and use of wet-end biocidal treatments is a key element in the effort to optimize efficacy and efficiency in papermaking. Biofilm control represents a challenging form of microbial control in a mill and can lead to a variety of mechanical and product issues. Chlorine-based biocides are often selected to maintain microbial control for cost, efficacy, and ease of application considerations. Hydantoin stabilization technology was developed to benefit from the advantages of chlorine-based oxidants.  

  2. Water Is Food 4/28/2022

    Celebrating Earth Day always reminds me of the great Arthur C. Clarke's observation that we shouldn't have called our planet "earth," but "ocean" instead — after all, it's mostly water. The same is true of food: most food is literally largely water, and every morsel of our food figuratively floats on a sea of water that was necessary to produce it.

  3. Water Reuse Within Reach: Guidance For Potential Practitioners 3/29/2017

    “Water Champion” Paula Kehoe looks to do for the nation what she did for San Francisco — to greatly expand water reuse opportunities and implementation. In this Q&A, she discusses her new role as chair of a national commission for onsite non-potable reuse, the San Francisco model, and the best practices and obstacles for sustainable water operations.

  4. Pilot Testing For Stormwater Treatment 12/22/2011

    The Columbus Water Works of Columbus, GA, implemented a stormwater treatment system to protect the downstream public health and improve aquatic biology in the city’s Premier Park.

  5. 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.

  6. Desalination And Power Plants—An Ideal Partnership? 1/14/2014

    A partnership between power and desalination plants may be the solution to drinking water scarcity. Researchers are working on a new system that can create potable water using a low-temperature desalination process powered by waste heat from a waterless power plant cooling system. 

  7. UF/RO System Treating Mine-Influenced Water To Remove Selenium 11/6/2020

    A Phosphorus mine in Wyoming needed to treat high selenium concentrations leaching into the surface water. Read the full case study to learn how Toray projected to save the plant energy costs for years.

  8. Membrane Technologies Achieve Zero Liquid Discharge In India's Special Economic Zone 11/6/2020

    Due to ongoing operational issues, MBR modules at the Pharmez Special Economic Zone near Ahmedabad required replacement. Read the full case study to learn more.

  9. Injecting Innovation Into The Food And Beverage Industry 2/17/2016

    Not all water treatment needs are the same. That’s why it’s imperative to work with those that understand the subtle dif­ferences that make each industry unique. For food and beverage companies, that means aligning with KLa Systems, a com­pany focused on oxygen transfer with a track record of innovation in jet aeration and mixing.

  10. Sun-Powered Nanogrid Cleans Fracking Wastewater 11/19/2013

    A high-tech “net” and the power of the sun are all that is needed to remove contaminants from water produced by fracking operations, oil spills, textile manufacturing, and other sources.
