Electrocoagulation Provides Economical Solution To Oil And Gas Waste Problem

A new generation of electrocoagulation-based water treatment has successfully treated wastewater and effluent from a remote onshore natural gas exploration and production project with over three years of continuous operation. To compound the challenges of treating this wastewater and effluent, the unit was required to operate in an extremely environmentally sensitive environment — a pristine tropical rainforest.

EPA's Water Report: A Good But Incomplete Start

One study cannot answer every question about water pollution risks from oil and gas drilling, nor should it be expected to. But as my colleague Nichole Saunders pointed out, the oft-quoted statement of EPA’s water study – that it found no evidence of “widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water sources”– implied to some that activities related to hydraulic fracturing had been declared risk-free.

Accurate Oxygen Monitoring In MEG Injection Solutions For Closed-Loop Gas Condensate Pipelines

Accurate monitoring of oxygen levels in Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) injection solutions is crucial for gas condensate pipelines in the oil and gas industry.

Predicting The Worldwide Impact Of Water Scarcity On The Energy Sector

As water is stretched and regulations around it tightened, the energy industry feels the burden. This can result in everything from reduced operations and higher costs for consumers to,in extreme cases, blackouts and gas and electricity shortages.

Thermal Mass Flow Meters For Greenhouse Gas Emissions Monitoring

The U.S. EPA sets national ambient air quality and greenhouse gas emission standards to ensure public health. Thermal mass flow meters deliver a direct reading of mass flow rate of natural gas and other fuel gases — without temperature and pressure compensation — and provide a simple, reliable and cost-effective method for tracking and reporting fuel consumption.

Building A Brewing Process Worth Toasting To

Brewing beer is both an art and a science. Beer needs to taste good, but it also must look good, be protected from spoilage, and come from a brewing process that’s reliable and efficient, minimizing product waste to maximize what gets into the bottle.

Simple Syrup Disinfection Without The Risk Of Caramelization

Atlantium Technologies has revolutionized the treatment of simple syrups with its cutting-edge Hydro-Optic Disinfection (HOD™) technology.

Del Monte Foods Saves Millions With BlueInGreen's SDOX Solution

Plant managers at Del Monte Foods in Siloam Springs, Ark. utilized a 14 million gallon facultative lagoon to provide treatment before applying the effluent on 500 acres of land nearby. However, the facultative lagoon was unable to meet the municipal pretreatment permit requirements, resulting in surcharges of $450,000 per month. Read the full case study to learn more. 

AnoxKaldnes MBBR Reduced Wastewater OPEX At Meat Processing Facility

Valley Pride Pack wanted to reduce the operational costs associated with their wastewater treatment system.

The Value Independent Certification Brings To Global Water Stewardship

Every year, World Water Week, a conference organized by the Stockholm International Water Institute(SIWI), brings together experts from around the world to discuss global water issues. This year’s event focused on Water, Ecosystems and Human Development, with discussions concentrating on how business, NGOs and government agencies are collaborating to address water-related challenges.

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.

Rounding Up The Water, Clean Energy, And Climate Bills In The 85th Texas Legislative Session

We’re entering the home stretch of the 85th Session of the Texas Legislature.

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.

Controlling Biofouling In Governador José Richa Power Plant, Brazil

Read about an extensive study that was carried out to evaluate the ability of the HOD UV system to control biofouling in the Governador José Richa Power Plant. 

How Water Utilities Can Support The Electric Grid While Reducing Costs Orange County Water District is combining operational flexibility with environmental stewardship by participating in demand response, earning millions in payments while maintaining their commitment to delivering clean, reliable water.

Collaboration Between Departments Increases Performance And Profitability In Mining Operations

Choosing the right dosing pump requires collaboration across engineering, operations, and procurement. Prioritizing total cost of ownership over price leads to better mining performance and ROI.

Building A Brewing Process Worth Toasting To

Brewing beer is both an art and a science. Beer needs to taste good, but it also must look good, be protected from spoilage, and come from a brewing process that’s reliable and efficient, minimizing product waste to maximize what gets into the bottle.

Take Control Of Industrial Cooling With Intelligence

Cooling and/or refrigeration is present in some form in almost every industrial production or process facility. The purpose of industrial cooling is to cool and remove heat from industrial machines, such as welding and injection molding machines, as well as industrial processes, including dairy, chemical and fermentation.

Identifying Odor Control Needs In Manufacturing Operations

Odor problems at manufacturing facilities can be unexpected, and can work against the production the facility is meant to accomplish. It starts out as a nuisance or a non-compliance issue, but can become a much bigger problem. Solving the problem requires analyzing how a facility’s processes generate and disperse odorous air, and then identifying an appropriate odor control solution.

Creating A Universal Solution For Nutrient Pollution

As excess nutrients continue to pollute source water, bringing dead zones and toxic chemicals, it’s time for the disparate agencies that can make a difference to band together.

Automating Time-Consuming Water Quality Tests

Discover established and regulated methods to individually determine and mitigate copper, iron, silica, manganese, aluminum, calcium, and other analytes of interest in water.

Keys To Improved Quality And Flow Accuracy In Industrial Effluent Applications

To ensure regulatory compliance and protect infrastructure, local wastewater utilities are increasingly requiring industrial operations to provide them with quality and flow monitoring information before discharges reach the utility. Industrial companies can be proactive toward this obligation — in turn, saving money and avoiding compliance issues — by collecting the most accurate data in near real-time.
