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.

9 Critical Reasons To Add Wireless Thief Hatch Management

A thief hatch allows access for measurement, but if left open it can allow hydrocarbon vapors to escape into the atmosphere as fugitive emissions. 

Saving Oil And Gas: Improving Profit Margins In Down Times With Innovative Water Management

With oil prices depressed, exploration and production companies unearth the money-saving opportunities in water management planning.

Aeration Considerations: What To Know Before You Buy

Unlike most municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) applications, industrial wastewater can vary widely from one application to another, even within the same plant, depending on the process being run. Industrial wastewater professionals — especially those facing specific challenges or planned volume increases — can benefit from comparing key points of differentiation in jet aeration system options before making any upgrade.

How To Balance Dissolved Oxygen Levels For Maximum Efficiency

While dissolved oxygen (DO) levels are critical considerations in aerobic wastewater treatment processes, not every application maintains a consistent level of demand. How industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) track and fulfill those needs make a big difference in the optimum performance and cost-efficiency of their operations.

A New Approach To Early Biofilm Detection

To assist industrial operators in managing and preventing biofilm, Italian start-up ALVIM Srl created a monitoring system that provides early warning detection of bacterial biofilm growing on pipelines, tanks, heat exchangers, RO membranes, and other equipment.

The DELUMPER®: A Sweet Success At ADM

ADM Cocoa Plant in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania needed help with their cocoa bean production. The plant processes two and a half million pounds of cocoa beans each day, turning them into cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and chocolate liquor. The company needed a machine to process sugar with over-sized lumps that could occur in transport or storage. Unless these agglomerated clumps were reduced to a granular form, the process could not work dependably. The machine also had to handle the large quantity of sugar processed daily and be sanitary.

Potable Reuse Gets A Taste Of The Charles River

It was named by the infamous explorer Captain John Smith after the Massachusett tribe of Native Americans, then subsequently renamed by King Charles I of England after himself. As Boston grew, the mighty Charles River proved a vital force behind its expansion, and its long and winding history a reflection of the city’s own.

Filtration System For Thermoelectric Plant

AES Gener is the second generating company in Chile and the main thermoelectric generator, and provides 4.068 MW (including Guacolda S.A.), equivalent to a share of 22%, whereas 3.797 MW of thermoelectric capacity and 271 MW of hydroelectric capacity.

Is Your Water System Ready For Population Growth?

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.

Keeping A Lid On It: Identifying And Intercepting Potential Cooling Water System Upsets

A wide range of industrial operations rely on cooling systems to function. And, in turn, these systems require cooling water to function. So, it stands to reason that a wide range of water treatment issues need to be considered and addressed so that cooling water system upsets are avoided and everything continues to run as it should. Oftentimes, an efficient industrial operation depends on efficient monitoring and treatment of cooling water.

The Energy Reality Behind Cape Town's Water Crisis — And Why The U.S. Should Care

In Cape Town, South Africa, the countdown is on for Day Zero when water taps in the city of 4 million people are expected to run dry.

A New Way To Kill Legionella

Advanced oxidation provides an all-in-one solution that supports the complete eradication of Legionella in a water system, while also preventing its regrowth.

Farmers Can Save Water With Wireless Technologies, But There Are Challenges — Like Transmitting Data Through Mud

The Internet of Things is a network of objects equipped with sensors so they can receive and transmit data via the internet. In agriculture, it involves technologies such as wireless underground communications, subsurface sensing, and antennas in soil. These systems help farmers track conditions on their land in real time, and apply water and other inputs such as fertilizer exactly when and where they are needed.

Incubating Innovation: Solutions For A Parched Earth

Massive droughts and water demands from a world population projected to grow to nine billion by 2050, translate to food insecurity and lack of water for agriculture.
