Fluorinated waste, like that found in firefighting aqueous film-forming foam, can act as a significant environmental pollutant. Recently, James Tour’s lab at Rice University developed a method to capture the fluoride from these waste streams and recycle it into a useful reagent, silver fluoride, that could be used in other manufacturing processes. This process was recently published in Nature Chemical Engineering.

Caloris Engineering has a new white paper available, “MVR Evaporators – Increasing Efficiency and Capacity by Reducing Losses and Maximizing Turbofan Performance.” The white paper uses a recent example involving an evaporator at a large-scale dairy producer.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking applications from Tribes for a total of approximately $3.5 million in new competitive grant funding under Clean Water Action Section 319.

As aging infrastructure, rising costs and more demanding operating conditions put greater pressure on critical systems, Xylem marks 125 years of Flygt engineering heritage and the breakthroughs that have helped make pumping more reliable, efficient and intelligent.

In some regions of the world, the poorest people may spend about 50 percent of their income on food, while the richest spend about 5 percent.

As global demand for freshwater continues to rise, the need for innovative solutions has never been more critical. In the UK, England alone could face a public water supply shortfall of up to 5 billion litres per day by 2055.
