UV Treatment Upgrade For Water Reuse - EWA Beach, Hawaii

The Honouliuli Water Recycling Facility (WRF) includes filtration and UV treatment to treat to Class R-1 reuse standards for various uses, including irrigation.

Pile Cloth Media Filtration For Clean Utilities

Cooling towers and boilers consume the most fresh water in the industry, with industrial process waters carrying the balance. Power plants and refineries use more water volume for the cooling process than any other area of the facility. Mining and food and beverage industries consume higher volumes for their processes. Clean water may come from a range of sources, including clarified surface waters, groundwater or properly treated wastewater (reuse) sources.

Simultaneous Measurement Of Flow And Electrical Conductivity

Explore how additional costs for analytical conductivity measurement can be eliminated. 

How To Optimize Your DAF System With Air Dissolving Pumps

Despite their importance in modern wastewater applications, not all DAFs are created equal. Factors, such as the components that make up these systems, will influence how well they work and how long they last.

Mapping And Identifying The Source Of Water Quality Issues

A Southern U.S. municipality experiencing taste and odor issues in a certain neighborhood was also having difficulty maintaining chlorine residual levels in the area. Biological growth was suspected, however, water leaving the treatment plant met and exceeded all water quality requirements. After several investigations, the source of contamination in the distribution system could still not be identified.

Primary Wastewater Treatment: Influent Monitoring

The raw sewage entering a wastewater treatment plant comes from a variety of sources. In addition to effluent from domestic users, effluent from industrial users and storm water run off can be present.

Filter Installations Remove Solids From FGD Scrubber Effluent

Power plants and refineries around the world must manage and treat complex effluent waste streams from the Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) process. Flue gas is generated by the combustion process of fossil and fossil-derived fuels, such as coal, oils, and natural gas in power plants. Petrochemical refineries may generate flue gas from a number of different processes, including Catalytic Cracking, Steam Methane Reforming, and Heaters or Furnaces.
