Water and Wastewater Solutions For Industry

  1. Magnetic Flow Meters Improve Recycling Of Gas Well-Produced Water 11/26/2019

    As old gas & oil fields play out, newer methods must be used to extract resources from areas where they are locked in layers of shale. One current technique is known as “fraccing,” in which high pressure water is pumped into the well shaft to “fracture” the rock layers, allowing more natural gas to escape and be collected. However, this technique poses a number of environmental problems, including contamination of water with hydrocarbons, solid particulates, and scale producing ions — making it unsuitable for reuse.

  2. The True Impact Of Various Nutrient Species And The Best Ways To Manage Them 2/22/2016

    The Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) has conducted a host of studies, summarized here, to help utilities evaluate and solve their nutrient-related problems.

  3. Flow Meter Ensures A Smooth Running Recovery Process At Bakery Production Plant 2/24/2016

    Employing roughly 5,000 workers in 12 countries, Vandemoortele bakery and production plant owes its success to high standards of quality, innovative production technologies, and a flair for finding economic alternatives. The latest example is the SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flow meter.

  4. Stormwater: A Valuable Resource For Power Plants? 3/28/2014

    Stormwater is often thought of as a burden. Too much of it can overwhelm wastewater treatment facilities, flood communities, and lead to the pollution of lakes and rivers. There is debate on who’s in charge of it and how it should be managed. Several communities have invested millions, and some even billions, trying to control stormwater. Even chicken farmers have issues with stormwater.

  5. Relieving The Pressure Of Monitoring Peak Boiler Water Efficiency 3/9/2019

    Industrial operations across the gamut leverage boiler water, the liquid that passes through a boiler and is converted into steam, thus powering operations around the world. But not all of them do as much as they could to ensure peak boiler water efficiency. Through the proper treatment considerations and quality measurement knowledge, every industrial player can make the most of this central process.

  6. Plastic Micro- And Nanoparticles In Drinking Water And Foods 3/17/2020

    The prospect of plastics working their way into humans is a rising concern for the public, with information presented to them from various, and sometimes suspect, sources. To cut through the noise, findings from the top available sources — detailed international reviews — are presented here with commentary.

  7. Comparing Free-Space And Guided Wave Radar For Challenging Chemical Environments 6/13/2025

    Choosing between free-space radar and guided wave radar systems designed for chemical service requires an understanding of their operating principles, advantages, and limitations.

  8. Reaching Zero Liquid Discharge: A Starter's Guide 8/26/2015

    Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems employ cutting-edge technologies to minimize water use within a given industrial facility and maximize the reuse of its processed wastewater. In the perfect ZLD system, no effluent ever leaves the factory, savings are immense, discharge and reuse requirements are met with ease, and the praise of conservation groups is bestowed fervently.

  9. How The Middle East Is Transforming Its Power And Water Industry 5/17/2018

    Global demand for power and water is accelerating — and the Middle East is no exception. A burgeoning population combined with multiple industrial diversification programs is fueling a boom in power and water projects. During the first three quarters of 2017, about US$30 billion of major power contracts and US$20 billion of water projects were awarded across the region. In 2018, the figure is looking more like $60 billion with the two sectors combined.

  10. Using ATP And NGS To Monitor Nitrification 10/28/2020

    China Steel Corporation, a steel producer in Taiwan, produces wastewater that is high in organics, ammonia, solids, and other waste products. The wastewater is treated on-site using a series of biological treatment processes. The variable influent quality can make it challenging to meet treatment objectives.
