Offshore Platform Fire Safety Sprinkler System Depends On Liquid Flow Assurance Switch
Offshore platforms around the globe are essential to the production of oil/gas and the global energy supply chain, but they represent a daily hazardous operating environment to the employees that work there 24-x-7. The potential dangers range from a mix of toxic and combustible gases, including, but not limited to, deadly hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to explosive methane (CH4), and other mixed hydrocarbon gases that are easily flammable.

Sustainable Clarification In Food And Beverage Operations
Companies within the food & beverage industry generate significant quantities of wastewater each day. For example, a 16 oz. can of beer is about 90-95% water; however, to make that can, beer producers utilize approximately 7 times this quantity. About 2/3 to 3/4 of the water is typically discharged as wastewater to a municipal sewer system.

8 Reasons To Revisit Quats For Cooling-Water Algae Control
The need for cooling-water systems is common among industrial applications, but the treatments needed to keep them operating at peak efficiency can change from location to location and season to season. Here is why a different type of quaternary ammonium compound (quat) algaecide has an important role to play in balancing performance, efficiency, and total lifecycle costs across many cooling-water-treatment regimens.

How The Middle East Is Transforming Its Power And Water Industry
Global demand for power and water is accelerating — and the Middle East is no exception. A burgeoning population combined with multiple industrial diversification programs is fueling a boom in power and water projects. During the first three quarters of 2017, about US$30 billion of major power contracts and US$20 billion of water projects were awarded across the region. In 2018, the figure is looking more like $60 billion with the two sectors combined.

3 Methods For Decreasing Mine Site Closure Time
The current methods for processing water used in mining are slow, and require a hefty investment by mining companies. One Utah based company, however, has proven to speed-up the decades long process that is typical, into a brief period of rapid remediation. Testing and trials with some of the world’s largest processors have yielded a list of methods for processing pregnant solutions and mine site tailings, promising increased profits for mining companies and a speedy and efficient cleanup for residents, politicians and interested parties.

Using Smart Irrigation To Conserve Water
Using efficient irrigation for outdoor lawns is an effective way to save water and to delay the need for water utilities to develop new water sources. In 2005, Orange County Utilities (FL) began an effort to plan for alternate water sources in Orange County because its primary water source, the Floridan Aquifer, was predicted to meet its capacity to provide water.
