Scientists Identify Opportunities To Better Understand Oilfield Wastewater

Collaborative research is a critical element for identifying unforeseen risks associated with using the oil industry’s wastewater outside the oilfield. That’s the recommendation of a new peer-reviewed paper accepted this week in the Journal of Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management (IEAM).

Global Crisis And Modern Solutions At The Water-Energy Nexus

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.”

Connected Oil Fields In Peru

In May 2017, China National Petroleum Corporation announced it would invest $2 billion in an oil and natural gas block in the southern part of Peru.

Crusher Breaks Up Large Cakes Of Enzyme Products

American Laboratories, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of enzyme products for many food, dietary supplements, nutritional and industrial applications. The company has grown steadily, currently operating three facilities in Omaha, Nebraska. To keep pace with this expansion, the company realized, some years ago, that a more efficient way to process the enzyme material was necessary. After examining their options, they made a decision to purchase a Franklin Miller DELUMPER® Crusher 1077 S4.

Compact ST75 Thermal Mass Flow Meter Measures Natural Gas, CO2 And Waste Gases In Breweries

The versatile, green-friendly ST75 air/gas flow meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) accurately and reliably measures natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2), and mixed waste gases in small line sizes to optimize brewing fermentation processes, product quality, and overall plant efficiency.

Arsenic Contamination Of Food And Water Is A Global Public Health Concern — Researchers Are Studying How It Causes Cancer

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element found in the Earth’s crust. Exposure to arsenic, often through contaminated food and water, is associated with various negative health effects. We study it can lead to cancer through the formation of cancer stem cells.

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.

Use Of Pure Oxygen To Resolve Capacity And Odor Problems

The Escalon Industrial Waste Water Treatment Facility’s service area is seasonal and centered on tomato and pickle processing. The production season (roughly mid-July through mid-October) sees high hydraulic- and BOD loads that strain the facility’s capacity. During the high season highly variable BOD load depletes DO and causes permit violations and odor complaints. Praxair installed 4 X 15 HP Medium Velocity Oxygenation (MVO™ oxygenation system), with the ability to deliver up to 6 TPD of oxygen to supplement the existing aeration capacity at the facility.

A Promise To Our Children To Save Water In Texas

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.

Desalination And Power Plants—An Ideal Partnership?

A partnership between power and desalination plants may be the solution to drinking water scarcity. Researchers are working on a new system that can create potable water using a low-temperature desalination process powered by waste heat from a waterless power plant cooling system. 

Brine Management — A Necessity, Not A Luxury

Brine is everywhere: desalination plants, gas and oil drillings, energy generation plants, mines, cooling towers, food manufacturing plants, chip fabrication, and many other industries that require high volumes of water. They all generate brine as a byproduct of their processes.

AMD Treatment Plant Helps To Restore The Susquehanna

For 30 years, the DEP diverted water from the abandoned Barnes and Tucker mines from the Susquehanna River basin for treatment in a system that discharged into the Ohio River watershed. BAMR sought a solution that would restore flow to the Susquehanna River at the request of the Susquehanna River Basin Commission.

Coriolis Flow Meter Solves Critical Fuel Measurement Concerns On The High Seas

There has been a growing need in the marine industry for accurate flow measurement of fuel aboard ships.

Sewer Mining: An Unconventional Solution To Water Scarcity

‘Sewer mining’ may sound like a search for mistakenly flushed and washed-away valuables, but it’s actually a sophisticated, sustainable strategy for combating water scarcity.

Cooling Towers Are Not The Problem — Or At Least They Don't Have To Be

Water quite literally flows through every facet of life, being the key element for everyone and everything on Earth. The world’s population is increasing at 1.1 percent (roughly 83 million) every year, an incredible and alarming rate straining the world’s fresh water supply. The increasing pressures between what humanity demands and what is currently available emphasizes the importance of conservation.
