Since many operators like to have results reported in a format that is familiar to them, it is possible to convert the gene copies/mL obtained from a qPCR reaction into an approximate cells/mL which is a calculation based on the average amount of gene copies per organism determined from literature investigations.

What’s a business leader to do at time such as this? What is a manufacturing business leader to do at a time such as this? Does it really matter whether a business is a service provider such as a restaurant or is a manufacturer? If so, does it matter what the company manufactures?

Located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, the Frank E. VanLare Waste Water Treatment Facility, Monroe County, N.Y., has a total treatment capacity of 660 mgd and is currently running around 100 mgd. The plant uses Non-metallic Eclipse pumps to pump 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite, Chlorine, for disinfection before the final discharge of the wastewater.

A self-cleaning trashrack can save time, money, and labor over manual cleaning and third-party cleaning machines, all while ensuring a continuous flow of water with minimal debris.

In the early 1990s, Grand Rapids took the initiative to invest in transforming its collection system from a combined sewer system to separate storm and sanitary sewers.

Read about a project that comprises three reservoirs, two rainwater treatment plants, and three pumping stations. 

Despite electrocoagulation's demonstrated effectiveness, developing a reliable, low maintenance reactor with sufficient water processing volume has proven to be a significant engineering challenge.

The first Santa Claus Club in the United States was formed in 1946 by World War II veterans to provide gifts for critically ill children in the village of Valatie, New York.  It has since grown to the point that on Christmas Eve, a Santa visits every child in the village below the age of 10 and gives him a gift.  

In wastewater treatment, aerobic digestion enables plants to increase their capacity by injecting oxygen into the wastewater head space.

The textile manufacturing industry encompasses many and diverse processes that rely heavily on the use of water, energy, chemicals, and other resources. Wet spinning, sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerization, dyeing and printing are just a few. Monitoring and controlling the pH, TDS/Conductivity/Salt Concentration, ORP (REDOX), and Temperature of the aqueous solutions used in these processes conserves costly resources, controls quality, and reduces the amount of pollution that must be treated before discharge of effluent wastes. This can be done manually with handheld instruments or automatically with in-line monitor/controllers.

As old gas & oil fields play out, newer methods must be used to extract resources from areas where they are locked in layers of shale. One current technique is known as “fraccing,” in which high pressure water is pumped into the well shaft to “fracture” the rock layers, allowing more natural gas to escape and be collected. However, this technique poses a number of environmental problems, including contamination of water with hydrocarbons, solid particulates, and scale producing ions — making it unsuitable for reuse.

We arm farmers with mission-critical water data to help enhance crop yield and taste. KETOS delivers valuable insights for fluctuations in deficiency and toxicity.

Learn how a wastewater treatment plant in eastern Switzerland relies on the targeted use of flocculants to prevent sludge washout. 

Pesticide residue laboratories are required to undertake analyses of an ever increasing number of samples. The analyses typically involve use of multi-residue methods (both GC-MS and LC-MS) to test for over 500 pesticide residues.

The NEOSEP® MBR system features Kruger’s uniquely designed K-120C and K-240C flat sheet membrane modules.  The modules offer several innovative design features that enhance ease of installation, operation and maintenance.  This includes an integrated central lifting eye, offering an incredibly well balanced module that makes installation and retrieval a simple and stress-free process.

In this application note, explore considerations for achieving more reliable accuracy when quantifying dechlorination results for applications ranging from RO membrane protection to wastewater discharge compliance.

Successful aquaculture corporations know that there are many variables that need to be accounted for in order for the bottom line to be “in the black”, let alone grow annually by 10-20%.

Selecting the correct accessories will maximize cleaning while minimizing water use, tank refills, labor, and headaches.
