Water and Wastewater Solutions For Industry

91. Industrial Water Treatment For Inorganic Contaminants: Regulatory Drivers 3/30/2016

    The goal of this article is to summarize the process of how industrial discharge limits are established. These discharge limits (effluent limits) allow the environmental professional to then specify treatment goals and process design criteria.

92. Secondary Containment Requirements For Aboveground Storage Tanks 9/6/2023

    Read about aboveground storage tanks, which are a common sight in manufacturing across the United States. 

93. Electricity-Producing Microbes Treat Wastewater, Provide Power Source 11/15/2013

    Newly discovered electrogenic organisms could significantly reduce energy costs for the wastewater industry.

94. Practical Cures For Abandoned Mines Pollution 4/4/2017

    The Gold King Mine disaster foretells what’s in store for the mine sites tagged by Superfund during the 1980s — that still aren’t finished. This is a plan for the U.S. EPA to stay out of this business and address this Western dilemma without federal funding or lawsuits.

95. 5 Municipal-Industrial Water Issues Analyzed 9/9/2016

    A water technology expert tackles high-profile and important topics currently affecting municipalities, industry, and the community at large.

96. From Drought To Deluge: Gauging The Impact Of Western Rains 4/10/2023
    For a number of years now, we have heard of dwindling water supplies in the western part of the U.S., but 2023 brought "atmospheric rivers" that (literally) flooded the Golden State and filled 12 of its 17 major reservoirs above their historical averages for the start of spring. It's a double-edged sword when such extreme weather arises, and obviously important to learn from the experience to better prepare for future events and plan for both resiliency and sustainability.
97. Empowering Water Entrepreneurship: Nano Bubbles Make A Big Difference In Produced Water 4/5/2016

    Part two in our series on the “Pow! emPowering Opportunities in Water” competition from Veolia, The Water Council, and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, takes a closer look at winning company Nano Gas Technologies, Inc.

98. What EPA Should Consider On Their Final 'Fracking' Assessment 2/8/2016

    Questions about if and how hydraulic fracturing activities can contaminate drinking water have been top-of-mind for many since the practice started getting widespread public attention about a decade ago. Recognizing the validity of those concerns, EPA undertook a study to see how the full ‘hydraulic fracturing water cycle’ could potentially impact our drinking water resources.

99. The Labor Shortage: Examining The What, Why, And How Behind An Ever-Growing Problem 5/4/2022

    Dr. Rachel Sederberg didn’t mince words when describing the seriousness of the labor shortage in the United States. It’s long been a problem, and now it’s getting (much) worse. When the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in February of 2020, there were 7 million job openings and 5.9 million unemployed people in the U.S. Two years into the pandemic, the statistics paint a dire picture of the workforce landscape as it stands presently.

100. Why More Enterprises And Communities Should Turn To Decentralized Wastewater Treatment 6/26/2023

     Decentralized wastewater treatment solutions aren’t limited to domestic services. As industrial effluent regulations become more stringent, many enterprises can turn to decentralized, onsite wastewater treatment. There are various advantages to implementing this solution, and specific industries can greatly benefit from doing so. However, before diving into those details, it’s essential to walk through the ins and outs of decentralized wastewater treatment.
