WATER REUSE RESOURCES

  • The NXT|MBR pairs membrane treatment with durable shotcrete construction to reduce capital costs, streamline operations, and strengthen wastewater treatment resilience.

  • Industrial facilities are under pressure to reduce freshwater consumption, control wastewater discharge costs, and maintain reliable production. Water reuse can help address all three concerns, but recovering water does not automatically make a facility more efficient.

  • Produced water is far from ordinary wastewater. It typically contains high concentrations of dissolved salts, residual hydrocarbons, suspended solids, heavy metals, chemical additives, and naturally occurring contaminants. Without proper treatment, managing these complex waste streams becomes both environmentally risky and financially burdensome.

  • Whether an area is urban or rural, large or small, its water and wastewater treatment utilities face pressures ranging from supply scarcity and increasing operational costs to more stringent regulatory guidelines. These pressures have combined in recent years to shift the conversation around potable water reuse from a potential option to an increasingly important water management strategy.
  • As communities and industries compete for finite water supplies, utilities are looking for strategies that support economic growth while reducing pressure on existing resources.
  • Data centers are evolving into industrial-scale thermal-management facilities as artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), cloud platforms, and accelerated computing increase rack power density. Modern AI racks can exceed 50–120 kW per rack, creating substantially higher heat-rejection requirements than conventional enterprise infrastructure. ASHRAE's (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) AI Data Center Energy Performance Framework identifies liquid cooling as an important architecture for these high-density environments.
  • Nearly 45–60% of a reverse osmosis (RO) plant's operating cost is linked to energy consumption, while membrane fouling can reduce productivity by 15–40% and increase cleaning costs by thousands of dollars annually. The newest generation of RO systems is therefore focused on reducing energy demand, extending membrane life, and using intelligent monitoring to predict fouling before performance declines.

  • Water scarcity in the U.S. is increasing almost as rapidly as demand for clean drinking water. In response, more municipalities and public utilities are actively pivoting toward water reuse strategies. Yet many of these projects are running up against an archaic administrative bottleneck.
  • For the better part of a decade, industrial electricity prices behaved like a slowly shifting floor. From 2016 through 2020, wholesale prices in most major markets were remarkably stable. A plant built in 2018 could reasonably expect its electricity costs to drift, not lurch, through the early 2020s. That baseline is gone.
  • In an industrial landscape increasingly shaped by lifecycle accountability, material traceability, and rising disposal costs, chromium recovery is not merely a technical alternative — it is a strategic upgrade, where wastewater can become a resource stream.

WATER REUSE SOLUTIONS

  • NeoTech D238™

    The NeoTech D238™ is specially designed to disinfect water and is an essential component in advanced oxidation processes.

  • Convertible Potable Water Treatment System: PWT-12/50

    For remote sites of 35 to 200 people, the newterra PWT-12/50 offers optimal flexibility – adapting to changing camp populations quickly and easily. The base 40' unit is a fully self-contained potable water treatment plant with capacity for up to 50 people.

  • SuperDisc™ Disc Filter

    WesTech’s SuperDisc™ Disc Filter from Nordic Water is a Title 22 approved inside-out disc filter.The SuperDisc provides easy access for maintenance and has an efficient high pressure cleaning system. The small footprint and low head required for the filter provides an excellent option for tertiary retrofits, such as travelling bridge sand filters. The SuperDisc can produce reuse-quality effluent and total effluent phosphorus concentrations of less than 0.1 mg/L. Other applications include primary and secondary treatment, as well as a wide range of industrial applications. The SuperDisc filter is available as a freestanding unit with filter discs contained in a stainless steel tank and a version for installation in a concrete basin.

  • Real-Time Water Quality Data For Agriculture

    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.

  • Reducing And Reusing Water In Steel Manufacturing

    The art of manufacturing steel for industries is well over 100 years old. Within this time, the steel business has fulfilled consumer needs, including construction, transportation, and manufacturing. The steel manufacturing process is quite intensive as it requires a lot of water to cool down the application. Steel plants constantly look for strategies that can help sustain the steel for a longer time by efficiently improving water and energy consumption.
