Produced Water Management: An Overlooked Subject In Academia

Water is one of the world's most critical natural resources, but too many people take it for granted, raising awareness of its importance — and complexities — is too often left out of public discourse. My recent visit to a few engineering colleges as a STEM ambassador made me realize that many engineering programs are offered today than when I went to school.

Wastewater Treatment In Oil Refineries

Refineries are among the major consumers of water that has both process and non-process origins. The average refinery requires 2.5 gallons of water for every gallon of crude oil processed. Depending on the type of crude oil, composition of condensate and treatment processes, the characteristics of refinery wastewater varies widely. The design and operation of modern refinery wastewater treatment plants are challenging and are driven by technology. This article will highlight the most common types of waste streams in a refinery and suitable wastewater treatment strategies.

Sustainably-Driven Innovation Is Increasing Performance In Wastewater Treatment Among Leading Food-And-Beverage Companies

In this article, read about the emergence of business sustainability and sustainably-driven innovation as a force for change within wastewater treatment and the associated compliance functions of the food and beverage industry.

Co-Digesting Food Waste With Wastewater Solids To Produce Energy

Inspired in part by California’s Senate Bill 1383, which was enacted to reduce organic waste and methane emissions, co-digestion is fulfilling those goals while converting wastewater treatment plants into water resource recovery facilities.

DO Or Die — Dealing With Aeration Basin Oxygen Deficiencies

Managing the treatment of wastewater — especially industry-generated wastewater that can elevate dissolved oxygen (DO) demands far beyond those of municipal/residential applications — is hard enough. Trying to do so during upset conditions is enough to put any water treatment professional on edge. Here are several preventive and remedial options to keep in mind before or after DO readings go haywire.

Thermal Flare Gas Flow Meter Solves Measurement Challenges On FPSO Vessels

The accurate measurement and disposal of flare gases aboard floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels is essential to manage these potentially hazardous combustible, flammable and toxic gases. Accurate measurement of these waste gases allows them to be processed efficiently and effectively to protect people and equipment aboard the vessel. Measuring of flare gas is also most often a strict regulatory requirement, as it can form the basis for payment of environmental taxes, climate quotas, etc.

Water We Talking About? Smart Irrigation Month

Among other celebrated fare this month, July is National Blueberry Month, National Peach Month, National Baked Bean Month, National Picnic Month, and National Grilling Month. But none of these acknowledgements could be possible without irrigation, so we here at Water Online find July most notable for being Smart Irrigation Month.

New Membrane Technology Challenges Tradition To Better Handle Harsh Metal Wastewater Streams

New electronic devices, electric vehicles (EVs), or other cool technologies bring us delightful conveniences, but they also induce some headaches. Metal wastewater streams, a byproduct of the manufacturing processes of microelectronics, EVs, and a whole host of other industrial processes, are no different and pose their own challenges.

Laundry Water Recovery System Reduces Freshwater Use By Over 50 Percent

In Mexico City, few residents have tap water or washing machines and most visit laundromats to clean their clothes. To keep up with demand, most of the city’s laundromats take delivery of fresh water three or four times per day at great expense to facility owners. Virtually none of this water is reused or recycled.
