Water and Wastewater Solutions For Industry

31. 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.

32. A Filtration Solution For When Spring Has Sprung 4/20/2017

    This mobile filtration technology offers water treatment operations a chance to combat the runoff and solids brought in by seasonal ice melt.

33. Dairy Collective Reaps Green Energy And Environmental Benefits With Anaerobic Wastewater Technology 9/16/2014

    One of the United States’ newest dairy processing plants features advanced wastewater treatment technology that not only radically improves biomass recovery and effluent quality, but also harnesses green energy from waste streams to drive production processes and reduce its carbon footprint.

34. Post-Treatment Aeration Maintains Dissolved Oxygen In Effluent High-Solids Wastewater Prior To River Discharge 8/17/2018

    The LeSourdsville WWTP in Butler County, Ohio, was required to meet their NPDES permit requirement of 6 mg/l dissolved oxygen at the plants Miami River outfall.

35. New Frontiers In Desalination 4/7/2015

    As persistent, widespread drought dominates headlines and decimates farmland, a competition held this month by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) turns to innovative desalination technologies for answers.

36. Lobbying In PFAS Industry Is Rife Across Europe — The Inside Story 1/27/2025

    A team of academic researchers, lawyers, and journalists from 16 European countries has exposed a huge lobbying campaign aimed at gutting a proposed EU-wide restriction on the use of “forever chemicals.” This campaign saw significant increases in the lobbying expenditure of major producers of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

37. Improved Flow Measurement Through Multiple In-Pipe Readings 5/9/2019

    A combination of water scarcity and the desire to provide exceptional service has driven water utility managers to be focused more than ever on acquiring accurate, real-time insight into their distribution systems. Operators face a natural hurdle, however, when using traditional center-line electromagnetic flow meters, which don’t account for velocities that vary across a pipe. Fortunately, a solution has emerged to address the issue.

38. Saving Energy And Doubling Worldwide Water Supplies – One Drip At A Time 2/14/2017

    On a warm December day, I stood in a jojoba field in the Negev Desert in southern Israel and watched water slowly seep up from the ground around the trees. First a tiny spot, then spreading, watering the plants from deep below. This highly efficient system is known as drip irrigation, and I was there to meet with the world’s leading drip irrigation company, Israel-based Netafim.

39. Real-Time Heavy Metal Monitoring For Oil & Gas 3/25/2021

    Large, distributed water networks are not well-suited for conventional water monitoring processes which rely on manual sampling and lab testing. In particular, this midstream oil and gas company had a need to detect Iron, Selenium, and other heavy metals at a precise level comparable to a lab. In addition, it wasn’t feasible to manually test the entire water system at the requisite frequency. Finally, instrument reliability and unplanned downtime were an issue.

40. When Product Recovery Systems Are Sound Investments 8/31/2015

    As advancements in technology have led to smaller, faster, and more durable process equipment, industrial manufacturers are eyeing new hardware to boost product yield in their new and existing facilities. This fact is evident as capital spending figures from the top 37 companies in the food and beverage industry topped $18.5 billion in 2014, a nearly 15 percent increase over the previous year.
