What EPA Should Consider On Their Final 'Fracking' Assessment

Questions about if and how hydraulic fracturing activities can contaminate drinking water have been top-of-mind for many since the practice started getting widespread public attention about a decade ago. Recognizing the validity of those concerns, EPA undertook a study to see how the full ‘hydraulic fracturing water cycle’ could potentially impact our drinking water resources.

Flow Meter Ensures A Smooth Running Recovery Process At Bakery Production Plant

Employing roughly 5,000 workers in 12 countries, Vandemoortele bakery and production plant owes its success to high standards of quality, innovative production technologies, and a flair for finding economic alternatives. The latest example is the SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flow meter.

Is Your Water System Ready For Population Growth?

Utilities are faced with myriad threats looming in the future, but chief among them is increased stress from population growth. In Denver, comprehensive planning for that future is underway.

Cooling Tower Crisis: How Hydrogen Peroxide Scrubbed Away The Bacteria Buildup

A West coast power plant needed an immediate solution to clean its cooling tower that was fast, cost effective, and did not require removal and manual cleaning of the tower's fill material. 

Design And Care Of Reverse Osmosis Systems, Part 3: Operation And Monitoring

Reverse osmosis (RO) systems offer power plant owners and operators a reliable and well-proven water treatment solution. However, designing and caring for an RO system requires a thorough understanding of a plant’s water supply and the technology’s capabilities. The final article of this three-part series will address RO system operation and maintenance best practices.

Water Is Energy

More than 2,000 years ago, Greek and Roman engineers harnessed the power of water to drive grain mills, and the technology soon spread as far as China, where it was used to forge iron. By the 4th century, the Romans had scaled up water wheel technology to build a massive flour plant in Arles, France, powered by 16 overshot water wheels. During the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci sketched out visions of water-driven sawmills, forges, factories, and spinning works.

Desalination And Power Plants—An Ideal Partnership?

A partnership between power and desalination plants may be the solution to drinking water scarcity. Researchers are working on a new system that can create potable water using a low-temperature desalination process powered by waste heat from a waterless power plant cooling system.

Video: Getting Off The Water Grid, With Membranes

Membranes have long been proven effective for a variety of applications, but certain other applications pose difficulties for the technology, mostly due to O&M concerns. Next-generation membranes, however, have the ability to overcome traditional challenges — just in time to meet requirements for greater contaminant removal and sustainability.

Public-Private Water Partnerships: Proactive Strategies For Industrial Water Challenges One of the most pressing challenges facing utilities today is how to effectively respond to surging industrial demands while managing costs and maintaining established levels of service to existing customers. Thanks to new funding sources and drivers such as AI, the landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Industries such as data centers and semiconductors are consuming massive volumes of water to support cooling and manufacturing — and creating equally daunting challenges on the wastewater front.

On-Site Sodium Hypochlorite Generation Replaces Hazardous Cyanide In Precious Metal Extraction

The Baia Mare Aurul gold mine in North Western Romania suffered a historic catastrophe in January 2000, when its dam burst, streaming out 100,000 cubic meters of waste water, largely contaminated with cyanide, commonly used in the process of mining gold, into tributaries of the Tisza River, a major waterway in Hungary.
