Water and Wastewater Solutions For Industry

  1. Water Is Beer 3/25/2024
    My water career started with beer. No, not the amount I drank on my way to my chemical engineering degree at Manhattan College. I mean the 10,000+ hours I spent optimizing filtration systems in breweries throughout the world.
  2. Laundry Water Recovery System Reduces Freshwater Use By Over 50 Percent 4/7/2020

    In Mexico City, few residents have tap water or washing machines and most visit laundromats to clean their clothes. To keep up with demand, most of the city’s laundromats take delivery of fresh water three or four times per day at great expense to facility owners. Virtually none of this water is reused or recycled. 

  3. Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control - Groundwater Pump & Treat System 5/20/2019

    Located near Orlando, Florida, the Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control site had groundwater with moderate levels of contamination by chlorinated solvents. They required a customized system that would prevent migration of the contaminants and begin the remediation process. A key requirement of the project was that the system be powered completely by renewable energy – in this instance, solar power.

  4. Automating Time-Consuming Water Quality Tests 4/5/2022

    Discover established and regulated methods to individually determine and mitigate copper, iron, silica, manganese, aluminum, calcium, and other analytes of interest in water.

  5. EPA's Water Report: A Good But Incomplete Start 9/11/2015

    One study cannot answer every question about water pollution risks from oil and gas drilling, nor should it be expected to. But as my colleague Nichole Saunders pointed out, the oft-quoted statement of EPA’s water study – that it found no evidence of “widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water sources”– implied to some that activities related to hydraulic fracturing had been declared risk-free.

  6. Achieving A Delicate Balance To Maintain RO Membranes 7/8/2024

    This application note explores the importance of maintaining a delicate balance in reverse osmosis systems to protect RO membranes.

  7. The Top 3 Treatment Stories Of 2017 And What They Mean For 2018 1/16/2018

    Last year was full of twists and turns for the drinking water and wastewater treatment industries. What can 2017’s biggest stories tell us about what’s to come this year?

  8. Halogen Stabilization Methods To Increase Efficiency In Paper And Board Production 2/10/2021

    The proper selection and use of wet-end biocidal treatments is a key element in the effort to optimize efficacy and efficiency in papermaking.  Biofilm control represents a particularly challenging form of microbial control.  Hydantoin stabilization technology was developed to protect the advantages of chlorine-based oxidants for microbial control, while improving efficacy, efficiency, and potentially overall cost of the treatment program.

  9. Engineering Solutions To Global Water Scarcity 8/13/2021

    Civil engineering doctoral student George William Kajjumba on his journey from Uganda, diversity in STEM, and what it means to represent UNLV at national and global events.

  10. 'Peecycle' Please: Will Urine Separation For Nutrient Recovery Take Off? 5/22/2014

    Is it feasible to separate nutrient-rich urine before it reaches the wastewater treatment plant?
