Overcoming Space Constraints For An Accurate Flow Measurement
Accurate and reliable flow measurement is critical to many water treatment and distribution applications. However, this can be a dicey proposition because most metering solutions require a set amount of straight pipe runs, before and after the device, to ensure accuracy. To address these and other related issues, an innovative solution has emerged.

Water Quality Testing: Solutions From Catchment To Waste
Globally, over 80% of the wastewater generated by society flows back into the environment without being treated or reused. Clean water is an essential part of daily life, from catchment all the way through to wastewater treatment, therefore analysis throughout the whole cycle is crucial. Whether in lakes, pipes, or bottles, we can accompany you with our range of instruments, test kits and applications for your water and wastewater needs.

“Marshing Forward” Despite Uncertainty: How EPA Researchers Are Reframing Approaches To Coastal Climate Adaptation Efforts
Among other functions, salt marshes provide breeding grounds and food sources for coastal wildlife, absorb excess carbon from the atmosphere, filter rainwater, protect coastlines from erosion, help ensure the health of our nation’s fishing economy, and promote ecotourism. With salt marshes becoming increasingly vulnerable, EPA scientists are evaluating both the scientific methodology and management practices behind coastal restoration projects.

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.
LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER
-
In areas with storm drains, the water can quickly overwhelm the drains, causing flooding hazards. For this reason, many towns have ordinances dictating how much ground can be covered with impermeable substrates.
-
Technology like advanced process control systems can streamline operations, create opportunities to lower costs and emissions, and ensure effluent quality meets the highest standards. Research also indicates that implementing an appropriate control strategy can help reduce N2O emissions.
-
Strategic flow monitoring helps wastewater utilities curb overflows, cut costs, and safeguard public health by turning accurate data into proactive action.
-
When seeking bids for a fair comparison, it’s important to evaluate the total cost of ownership.
-
Researchers have developed polyimide-based membranes for membrane distillation (MD) that overcome three persistent issues in membranes for water treatment and gas separations: the need for pore-forming chemicals that prevent recycling, performance degradation due to pore wetting and fouling, and the inherent trade-off between high water flux and selectivity.
