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.

Recycling Wastewater from Oil And Gas Wells Poses Challenges

Each year, the oil and gas industry produces more than 800 billion gallons of wastewater. Coupling the massive volumes of wastewater generated over the life of the well and the millions of gallons of water needed to hydraulically fracture each well, it’s easy to see that oil and gas exploration and production is just as much a water issue as it is an energy issue.

New PA Law Puts Mine Water To Work

Mines throughout Pennsylvania contain millions of gallons of contaminated water, putting thousands of stream miles at risk.

How To Manage The 4 Water-Based Fluids Associated With Hydraulic Fracturing

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.

How To Maximize Microbrewery Production Lines

A microbrewer’s expertise is in brewing, not engineering. Discover how you can get the most out of production lines without the costs associated with hiring outside engineers or experts.

Helping Breweries Cut Natural Gas Costs And Waste Gas Emissions

No matter whether consumers choose a pilsner, an ale, or another popular type of beer, there is a critical focus at nearly all breweries today on their production process energy (natural gas) costs and plant environmental compliance (waste gas emissions). Failing to pay attention to the efficiency of these processes at breweries or any other type of food and beverage processing plant can lead to cost competitiveness issues and hefty regulatory fines.

Relieving The Pressure Of Monitoring Peak Boiler Water Efficiency

Industrial operations across the gamut leverage boiler water, the liquid that passes through a boiler and is converted into steam, thus powering operations around the world. But not all of them do as much as they could to ensure peak boiler water efficiency. Through the proper treatment considerations and quality measurement knowledge, every industrial player can make the most of this central process.

Holistic Energy-Water Planning: Hedging Your Bets In A Water-Stressed World

You probably have some sort of insurance – for your healthcare, car, house, or apartment. Acting on climate change is also like insurance. It is all about managing the risks.

Water Is Food

Celebrating Earth Day always reminds me of the great Arthur C. Clarke's observation that we shouldn't have called our planet "earth," but "ocean" instead — after all, it's mostly water. The same is true of food: most food is literally largely water, and every morsel of our food figuratively floats on a sea of water that was necessary to produce it.

CFD: Computational Fluid Dynamics Or Colorful Fluid Dynamics?

Queen’s immortal Bohemian Rhapsody asks a question that can directly apply to mathematical models: How do we know that numerical models are true? How do we know that they are defensible? More importantly, how can a modeler convey to customers the care he or she put into the model itself? Those questions are important to the water industry, where leading companies are making better use of sophisticated models every day.
