  • City Of St. Cloud Relies On Thermal Flow Meters For Digester Biofuel Co-Gen Power Process

    The City of St. Cloud, Minnesota, straddles the Mississippi River near the center of the state a little more than 65 miles north of the twin cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul. The city’s forward thinking staff began looking for sustainable green energy solutions in 2003. After planning and initiating a series of projects over several years, the site is today producing renewable energy with a 20 kW rooftop solar array, a 220 kW solar array and biofuels electricity generation.

  • Coriolis Meters For CaCO3 Measurement: The Right Answer To A Tough Challenge

    Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is used in everything from agriculture to pharmaceuticals, but the most common way of manufacturing this everyday chemical presents a tricky measurement challenge, because it involves precipitation to form a course, abrasive slurry.

  • EPA And Canadian Researchers Partner To Ensure Effective Responses To Oil Spills

    The U.S.-Canada border is the world’s longest shared border and includes four of the five Great Lakes, many rivers, additional lakes, major airsheds and migratory routes for wildlife species. In addition, there are many Native American Tribes and First Nations residents whose culture extends across the border.

  • Side-Stream SDOX® Systems Enhance Biological Function And Treatment Capacity

    Wastewater from the meat processing facility is treated using a sequence batch reactor and an aerobic lagoon that discharges to surface waters following treatment. The facility replaced surface aeration equipment with two, 350-HP the “no-splash,” side-stream SDOX systems retrofitted to the treatment basin. Read the full case study to learn the results.

  • Repair Of Major Damage To High Density Polyethylene Wastewater Pipeline

    Leprino Foods, the world's largest mozzarella cheese producer, operates two plants that share one wastewater pipeline – a 16” SDR11 High Density Polyethylene Pipeline (operating at approximately 160 PSI). During dirt work an “auger” hit the wastewater pipeline and drilled an 8” diameter hole in the line. Leprino needed immediate access to a repair fitting for this line.

  • Brewery Reuses Water For Factory Wash-Down

    Looking to reduce its water footprint, Shepherd Neame Brewery invested in a complete membrane bioreactor (MBR) wastewater recovery and re-use plant. Learn how the new plant's aeration system has helped to reduce the brewery's water-to-beer ratio to an industry-leading value of 3:1.

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR INDUSTRY

  • In Storms Like Hurricane Helene, Flooded Industrial Sites And Toxic Chemical Releases Are A Silent And Growing Threat

    Hundreds of industrial facilities with toxic pollutants were in Hurricane Helene’s path as the powerful storm flooded communities across the Southeast in late September. In disasters like these, the industrial damage can unfold over days, and residents may not hear about releases of toxic chemicals into water or the air until days or weeks later, if they find out at all. Yet pollution releases are common.

  • An Introduction To Industrial Use Of Technology For Non-Techies

    It’s increasingly obvious to me that the gap in the general understanding of technology is continuously increasing with those that are not working in the space every day.  I am referring to industrial technology versus the general consumer technology market.  

  • Where's The Fire? Industrial Uses For Fire Hydrant Meters

    There are many options for ensuring accurate billing of water used at established industrial customer locations. But how do municipalities or businesses keep track of water availability and use for intermittent applications or movable access points? We spoke with McCrometer, Inc.’s Marc Bennett for insight into how water utilities and industries can efficiently track and allocate water use for billing or internal accounting purposes in such ad hoc applications.

  • Reassessing The Value Of Water Reuse In Process Efficiency

    In many industrial applications, water is not part of the final product but an important process facilitator — for cooling, cleaning, etc. Like energy, it can quickly become a major expense and, therefore, an important target for cost control. As potable water supplies tighten or become increasingly expensive, reuse is becoming a more attractive alternative. Here is some of the information needed to evaluate the opportunities it offers.

  • Using AI To Reduce OPEX In Wastewater Treatment

    For municipal and industrial wastewater treatment managers and support staffs, the prospect of using artificial intelligence (AI) to guide better decision-making sometimes seems more like a distant promise than a ready solution. Here are some insights on how AI can use historical data to improve operational intelligence and optimize processes, plus guidelines on how water professionals can do more to harness that power sooner.

  • The Business Of Sustainability — Through The Eyes (And Lens) Of National Geographic

    The global water challenges are vexing and significant and affect individuals directly in their day-to-day lives, and as members of the broader human community.  These challenges in turn pose threats to numerous aspects of nature and impact living things that also depend on water for survival.

Pesticides are usually biological (such as viruses, bacteria, antimicrobials, disinfectants, etc.), chemical substances, or a mixture of substances intended to prevent, destroy, repel or mitigate any pests. Targeted pests include insects, rodents, weed, bacteria, plant pathogens, mollusks, nematodes (roundworms), mold, fungus and microbes that destroy property, cause nuisance, spread disease or are vectors for diseases.

Connect this pH sensor directly to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for seamless integration with industrial control systems. Use any computer to display data, calibrate and customize the measurement without an intermediate analyzer electronics box.

Due to its robust mechanical strength, high impact resistance (including very low temperatures) and excellent chemical resistance, GF PE100 Industrial Polyethylene is the best all around product for your industrial process application. Whether it’s process cooling water, industrial water treatment, bulk water distribution or chemical processing GF PE100 will meet the challenges of your critical applications.

JWC Environmental is proud to introduce the new 7 SHRED grinder, built to fulfill the demands of product reduction for industrial applications such as in petroleum, agriculture, food processing, municipal solid waste and more.

The Parkson TumbleOx™ Bioreactor consists of a treatment tank(s) containing a series of slowly rotating drums. Each drum is partially filled with loose media which freely tumbles inside the five-foot diameter drum as it rotates. A thin biofilm grows on the media and provides biological treatment. The unique media design maximizes surface area for biological growth and also aerates the wastewater as the drum turns, providing dissolved oxygen for the micro-organisms. The system components include the rotating drum, plastic media, and the bearings and simple drive mechanism to slowly rotate the drum. No supplemental aeration system is required.
