WASTEWATER CONTAMINANT REMOVAL RESOURCES

• Filtering Out Failures: A Productive Conversion Experience For A Steel Mill

  Water filtration in steel manufacturing should be one of those things that mill owners never have to worry about. But when filter systems fail to perform as expected, it’s time to invest in a smarter design. That was the situation at a midwestern steel mill that embarked on a major, eight-year conversion of its water filtration infrastructure.

• Profile II Analytical Results, Mine Site Processing

  Increasing profitability through efficient tailing and pregnant solution processing. 

• New Technology Makes Wastewater From Oilsands Safer For Fish

  In the northeastern corner of Alberta, nestled among the expanses of forests and wetlands, lies a major freshwater dilemma that Canada is currently facing. The reuse of water for oil extraction causes tailings ponds to accumulate higher and higher concentrations of harmful contaminants. As such, the water in these tailings ponds is dangerous, and often lethal, to birds, fish, frogs, and plants.

• Treating Food Wastewater Efficiently Using Jet Aeration

  Food processing is a water-intensive process, and its wastewater byproduct is typically high in volumetric daily flow and also biochemical and chemical oxygen demand (BOD and COD), organics, and nutrients. Consequently, significant on-site treatment and resources are necessary.

• The Highly Consolidated U.S. UV Water Treatment Equipment Market

  The U.S. ultraviolet water (UV) water treatment equipment market for industrial and drinking water applications is competitive, mature, and saturated. The market is dominated by a few leading players holding significant market shares.

• Wastewater Collection And Treatment: General Observations

  In this discussion, I am going to discuss general issues in wastewater treatment and specifically the collection phase of waste treatment. We all realize the effort and expense that goes into treatment-plant technology, but many don’t seem to realize that the collection phase is where we get “more bang for the buck.”

• Resilience In The Face Of Emerging Contaminants

  There are over 150,000 public drinking water systems in the United States and more than 80 percent of the population receives their potable drinking water from these systems. And today - according to the EPA, our water systems are faced with a growing list of challenges.

• Tanks Evolve To Meet Wastewater Treatment, Water Reuse Demand

  From simple to advanced and from sewage to potable, tanks have become the Swiss Army knives of water management.

• Optimal Ultrafiltration Uses For Beverage And Dairy Companies

  When you’re sipping on a cold soda or snacking on a creamy piece of cheese, you probably don’t really think about what went into making your food or beverage. Aside from the automated production-line machines, one of the most important things that goes into the making of any soda, juice, wheel of cheese, or gallon of milk is water. Producing beverages and dairy products uses substantial amounts of water within production processes.

• Scientists Around The World Are Already Fighting The Next Pandemic

  If a two-year-old child living in poverty in India or Bangladesh gets sick with a common bacterial infection, there is more than a 50 percent chance an antibiotic treatment will fail. Somehow the child has acquired an antibiotic resistant infection — even to drugs to which they may never have been exposed. How?
