Part two in our series on the “Pow! emPowering Opportunities in Water” competition from Veolia, The Water Council, and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, takes a closer look at winning company Nano Gas Technologies, Inc.

The primary fluid used in hydraulic fracturing is water and the completion process can require from 2.75 - 8.25 million gallons per well. This white paper discusses the different water management and instrumentation requirements for controlling and processing drilling mud, hydraulic fracturing fluid, flowback water and produced water.

AMD can be a valuable resource for the oil and gas industry and result in cleaning up thousands of streams and rivers in the nation.

For an open-pit taconite mining operation in Minnesota, high pH groundwater required round-the-clock pumping to comply with discharge permit limits. After management installed a control system to neutralize the pH, the treated water leaving the site now meets permit limits. Read this case study to learn more about the installed system and results.

Read about the current business challenges in the oil and gas industry. 

Faced with restaurants and bars suddenly closed for the foreseeable future due to COVID-19, a beverage distributor was forced to take back 40,000 gallons of expired beer. 

Harboes Bryggeri A/S was facing challenges with the performance of its wastewater treatment plant, due to the highly variable Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) load in the inlet.

In commercial brewing — as with other food, chemical, or industrial processes — control over steam heating can have significant influence on process costs and consistent quality in the final product. But its measurement and control can also be impacted by unique circumstances of those applications. Here is how changing just one aspect of steam measurement brought economy and consistency to multiple aspects of a brewer’s overall process.

Jack Link’s, a leading protein snack producer, was in need of a water treatment solution at its facility in Alpena, South Dakota.

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.

Amid growing concerns around algal bloom, industrial operations are under pressure to stop using phosphorus-based water treatment technology. But transition to an alternative can be daunting.

Late last millennium, Panametrics installed a model 6068 liquid clamp-on flow meter for the measurement of water in Kinlochleven Hydro Power, a hydroelectric power plant in Scotland, to monitor turbine generator performance.

But its measurement and control can also be impacted by unique circumstances of those applications.

Since EPA released its proposed Clean Power Plan (CPP) in June of this year, the plan has been a hot topic in every state.

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.

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.

Global water usage has increased multifold over the recent decades due to various factors, including consistent population growth, changing consumption patterns, and fast-paced economic growth.

Discover how technology supports the demand for data and drives the right actions to optimize utilities usage and provide significant energy savings.

Learn about the methods and technologies currently used for testing microplastics, the limitations of those tests, and how to use them to get the most accurate measurements possible.

A Q&A with Johan Kuylenstierna, executive director of the Stockholm Environment Institute

Water scarcity and water pollution are increasingly critical global issues. Water scarcity is driven not only by shortages of water, but also by rendering water unusable through pollution. Over the past few decades, nutrient and sediment emissions into waterways have increased, driven by agricultural and horticultural intensification.

Amid growing concerns around algal bloom, industrial operations are under pressure to stop using phosphorus-based water treatment technology. But transition to an alternative can be daunting.

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.
