Water Runs Through The Circular Economy
3/26/2019
Circular economy approaches can add value to a vast range of processes and product sectors, but water is the ‘blue thread’ that flows through it all, Nick Jeffries tells Paul O’Callaghan, chief executive, BlueTech Research.

2 Applications That Triggered The Rise Of Coriolis Flow Measurement
11/1/2017
Coriolis measurement has been adopted as a default technology in many application scenarios due to its high accuracy and immunity to process variables (temperature, pressure and flow profile). However, Coriolis wasn't always widely accepted. Two applications, in particular, helped what was once a nascent flow measurement technology gain a foothold in the marketplace.

Saving Texas’ Water Through Smart Energy Choices In 2016
1/19/2016
2015 proved to be another weird weather year around the country, especially for Texas. 80 degrees and dry in Austin on Christmas Day, spring wildflowers in bloom, and kids playing outside in shorts — a surprise ending to a wild ride of drought followed by devastating floods followed by drought and then more floods.

Clamp-On Flow Meters From Siemens Help To Regulate Outflow From A Dam
3/27/2020
A utility company in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States needed to regulate the outflow of a large dam built in the 1930s. The outflow of the dam feeds a river into which the state government wanted to reintroduce a salmon run. Because of this, the utility company would need to comply with some very restrictive limits on how quickly they could change the level of the river. They were now required to account for all water flowing downhill from the dam.

Sherbourne Common: Shining A Light On Stormwater
6/28/2012
Sherbourne Common is an innovative waterfront park located in Toronto, Canada. It features three dramatic art sculptures and a 240 metre long urban water channel that uses collected stormwater from the surrounding neighborhood. The stormwater is treated with UV light prior to reuse in the park. UV treatment is a non-chemical technology that has the benefit of not forming any byproducts and can eliminate chlorine-resistant microorganisms like Cryptosporidium and Giardia.

Mag Meter Assists In Heating Process For Metal Plating Operation
7/15/2020
Metal plating provides numerous benefits to products made from metal and other materials and is used in many industries such as aerospace, automotive, hardware, and decorative household materials. It makes products and parts more resistant to corrosion, enhances paint adhesion, increases strength, reduces friction, and improves appearance. The flow of hot water to heating panels in plating bath needs to be controlled to maintain proper chemical, solvent and acid temperature, and an accurate meter is needed to provide feedback to control pump speed.

Boiler Feed Water Pump Local Instrumentation — Necessity Or Nuisance?
2/28/2017
Anyone remember the old cars of the 1950s and 1960s? They all pretty much came equipped with an ammeter, an oil pressure gauge, a water temperature gauge, as well as a speedometer and a fuel level gauge.

A Lid For Every Pot: Retrofitting To Meet New Aeration Challenges
5/16/2019
Aeration for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment involves more than simply moving volumes of air through a treatment basin. It really comes down to creating and sustaining an optimal oxygenated environment for microorganisms to convert oxygen consuming compounds into CO2 and water. Here are some key considerations for making better retrofit decisions about upgrading existing basin capacity and efficiency with jet aeration.
