Pinpointing Better Dechlorination Control For Steam And Power Generation
10/29/2021
Of all the things that need to be done to produce steam for power generation and industrial processes, preparing clean makeup water is at the top of the list. On one hand, there’s the threat of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane biofouling. On the other, there’s the risk of membrane damage from excessive chlorination. Now, ultra-low-range (ULR) chlorine analyzers can help heavy industry strike that fine balance, cost effectively.

The Benefits Of Cone-Type Flow Meters
5/6/2014
Selecting the proper flow meter will take an operator through a fairly typical vetting process, including consideration of capital expenditure (CAPEX), O&M requirements, effectiveness, and durability. Manufacturers of all meter types (e.g., Venturi meters, magnetic flow meters (magmeters), cone meters, etc.) will surely claim to excel in these categories, but can they back up the claim?

What EPA Should Consider On Their Final 'Fracking' Assessment
2/8/2016
Questions about if and how hydraulic fracturing activities can contaminate drinking water have been top-of-mind for many since the practice started getting widespread public attention about a decade ago. Recognizing the validity of those concerns, EPA undertook a study to see how the full ‘hydraulic fracturing water cycle’ could potentially impact our drinking water resources.
