Flare gas is the name given to the surplus waste gas produced during the extraction of crude oil and the subsequent refining process.

Explore the four components that, if put together in the right way, will allow the oil and gas industry to reap the benefits of IoT, the Cloud and Big Data. 

GE Water & Process Technologies and the World Resources Institute (WRI), an independent research organization studying sustainability, jointly produced a white paper called “Water-Energy Nexus: Business Risks and Rewards.” The paper hones in on the shared interest of the two groups, namely the supply of freshwater counted on by the energy industry, which in turn fuels water treatment operations, a relationship that’s known as the “water-energy nexus.”

Mississippi Power Company had a wide range of environmental considerations when they set out to choose a builder for a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system, integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant. Aquatech was selected due to the company’s proven success in providing cost-effective, environmentally-focused water treatment solutions for the power industry. This case study provides details and technical specifications on the system selected.

The flare gas discussion is heating up again. According to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. oil production is at an all-time high, and so are the harmful methane emissions from leaks, flaring and venting.

Too much of a good thing can create new problems as quickly as it resolves old ones. Maintaining a proper balance of antifoaming agents and polymer additives is critical for sustaining the appropriate air bubble size and distribution needed to achieve dissolved oxygen (DO) requirements for neutralizing high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in many industrial and food processing wastewater applications.

Precise water quality is critical for municipal water treatment operations, but many industrial applications have even more rigorous requirements, regulations, and guidelines to follow. The energy, pharmaceutical, food processing, and other industrial fields require exact water quality in order to function efficiently.

Accurate measurement delivered by a range of ABB flowmeters is helping the company behind the world-renowned Macallan whisky brand to maintain its high product quality standards following its move to its new 187.2M USD distillery.   

Discover how one beverage manufacturer was able to balance producing a quality product while also undertaking the challenging of reclaiming and treating its effluent.

It’s no secret that Texas is currently in the midst of a multi-year drought – yet the vast majority of our electricity comes from sources that contribute to this prolonged drought, namely coal, nuclear, and natural gas. All of these energy sources require copious amounts of water to produce electricity.

Being an environmental advocate in Texas may seem like an uphill battle, and I make no bones about the fact it most certainly is.

This paper shows how the four pillars of operator effectiveness lead operators to greater awareness, faster response and better decisions.

The Risk Management Program (RMP) is a law created to protect the greater community from the accidental release of highly hazardous chemicals. Under the Clean Air Act, Section 112(r)(7), there are requirements for the employer to have accident prevention plans for every facet of handling these chemical hazards.

Production had shut down because the client’s existing EDI could not meet the water quality requirement. QUA worked swiftly with the OEM to supply FEDI® Rx in two days, enabling them to resume production immediately. QUA was able to do this due to its high quality product and dedicated technical support team.

Read the full case study to learn how the installation of the three Flygt horizontally mounted dry pit, flood-proof NZ-3171 submersible clog-free pumps immediately offered a 25 percent boost in efficiency at a lift station in Manitoba, Canada, after a motor had shorted out due to excessive moisture, and could not be replaced.

Among other celebrated fare this month, July is National Blueberry Month, National Peach Month, National Baked Bean Month, National Picnic Month, and National Grilling Month. But none of these acknowledgements could be possible without irrigation, so we here at Water Online find July most notable for being Smart Irrigation Month.
