SDOX Technology Mitigates Sulfide Production By Promoting Aerobic Environment
2/2/2021
The Plant’s wastewater treatment facility uses four, covered anaerobic lagoons to manage BOD, pretreating wastewater prior to sending the effluent to a pumping station which directs the wastewater into the municipal collection system for final treatment at the City’s wastewater treatment plant. Read more to learn how the company used hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst to maintain an aerobic environment but was unable to adequately mitigate the odor from the facility’s wastewater.

Magnetic Flowmeter Used In Winery For TTB Audit Compliance
11/26/2019
The U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (or TTB for short) oversees industry compliance with U.S. government laws and regulations governing the tobacco and alcoholic beverage industries. Both large and small wineries are scrutinized for their compliance with regulations addressing alcohol content, fill levels in bottles, etc. For example, TTB guidelines require a traceable check and balance system verifying the amount of gallons used for wine blending equals the amount of gallons produced by the blending process.

Pharmaceutical Effluent Recycling In India
7/26/2016
A renowned pharmaceutical company in Pune, India, installed a water treatment system to recycle pharmaceutical process wastewater for reuse. Ultrafiltration was chosen as pretreatment to a reverse osmosis system, and the feed water was tertiary treated pharma effluent. Soon after operation began, the existing UF membranes were repeatedly choking, and QUA offered Q-SEP ultrafiltration modules to the customer to replace the existing UF membranes.

EPA Researchers Use Innovative Approach To Find PFAS In The Environment
8/20/2018
There are thousands of per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) in use for countless consumer products. PFAS can make products non-stick or waterproof. They are also used in industrial processes and make up fire-fighting foams used by first responders. With so many types of PFAS in use, EPA researchers have had to use new and innovative tools to gather more information about these chemicals.

Capacitance Level Switches Provide Reliable Water/Oil Interface Detection
12/2/2013
There are a number of point level approaches to measuring the interface between water and oil for water dump control in the oil and gas industry. However, each has disadvantages — manual methods introduce human error, conductivity switches are rendered inaccurate by buildup, and float switches are susceptible to wear and tear. This white paper introduces capacitance level switches as an accurate and reliable alternative for water/oil interface detection.

New Technology Makes Wastewater From Oilsands Safer For Fish
9/18/2020
In the northeastern corner of Alberta, nestled among the expanses of forests and wetlands, lies a major freshwater dilemma that Canada is currently facing. The reuse of water for oil extraction causes tailings ponds to accumulate higher and higher concentrations of harmful contaminants. As such, the water in these tailings ponds is dangerous, and often lethal, to birds, fish, frogs, and plants.

Benefits Of Electrocoagulation For Meat Processing Companies
2/1/2021
While vegetarianism and veganism have both grown in popularity in the past decade, vegans and vegetarians combined are vastly outnumbered by people that love meat. In a country like the United States, where we have hot dog eating contests and food eating challenges, this country consumes a lot of meat of all types. Therefore, meat processing water treatment is required to package and process these foods within the US and across the world.

Industrial Water Treatment For Inorganic Contaminants: Biological Treatment Processes
8/9/2016
This article is the fifth in a series on industrial water treatment focusing on inorganic contaminants. While regulatory limits are being established, the process of identifying a cost-effective treatment process should be undertaken. Potential water treatment processes for inorganic contaminants can be grouped into three categories: physical, chemical, and biological. This article will describe the biological treatment technologies that may be considered.
