How Oil & Gas States Did (And Did Not) Protect Land And Water In 2018
Keeping an eye on what happens with domestic oil and gas regulation is a bit like herding cats. We’ve seen encouraging progress on air quality issues related to oil and gas, but an equally critical front that’s seen major action is protection of our land and water resources.

The Water Online Show: Exploring Flow Measurement Technologies And Best Practices Across Diverse Industries
While The Water Online Show covers everything water and wastewater, the challenges regarding flow measurement are consistent amongst many other industries. Whether it’s Oil & Gas or Green Energy or any other closely related industry, solutions for these measurements and calibrations related to flow are available. Adam Schleyhahn, Director of Sales and Marketing for FCI joins the show to tell us more.

A Fouling-Free Filter For Produced Water
Hydraulic fracturing is a hot-button issue, but no matter where you land you should agree that more efficient produced water filters will go a long way in improving the practice.

Sun-Activated LilyPads Remove Contaminants Without Chemicals
Puralytics LilyPads are hardly noticeable in the ponds, lakes, and catchment areas where they are deployed. Made of mesh and plastic, the flat, 1-meter diameter disks could even be confused for their plant namesake if not for their white color.

Treating Food Wastewater Efficiently Using Jet Aeration
Food processing is a water-intensive process, and its wastewater byproduct is typically high in volumetric daily flow and also biochemical and chemical oxygen demand (BOD and COD), organics, and nutrients. Consequently, significant on-site treatment and resources are necessary.

Fresh Air, Fresh Fish
Farming operations to plan and control fish reproduction have been around since the 15th century and are a sophisticated, mechanized arm in the food production industry today. In Poland, traditionally, trout farms are relatively small family businesses where product quality remains high during every stage of the process. Learn how Kaeser’s rotary blowers turned a rural fishpond into an automated aqua farm by delivering air to ensure the fish are raised in the best possible environment.

Dechlorination For The Food & Beverage Industry
For food & beverage manufacturers, product safety is paramount. Minimizing water consumption and improving product ratio & energy savings, which reduce carbon footprint, are also key goals of sustainable F&B operation.

Meat-Free Diets Could Cut Our 'Water Footprint' In Half, Say Scientists
Three thousand litres of water — that is the amount needed to produce the food each British person eats every day. This is according to a new study into the “water footprint” of diets in Western Europe, conducted by the European Commission and published in Nature Sustainability.

Water And Power Generation Remain A Balancing Act Amid Tightening Regulations
A recent survey digs into the treatment aspects of water in the power industry, revealing how electric utilities are responding to concerns over regulations and volumes of use.

Radioactive Waste: Can Membranes Reduce The Fear Factor?
It’s no wonder that the word "radioactive" scares people. I remember Chernobyl. I was raised on The Simpsons, with its bumbling plant operators and three-eyed fish. I've followed the Fukushima tragedy closely. But, scary or not, nuclear power isn't going anywhere soon.

Dechlorination Of RO Feed Water In Power Station
Plant Bowen, a coal-fired power station in Georgia, successfully implemented Atlantium's HOD UV technology to eliminate microbial growth and improve the performance of their reverse osmosis system. The HOD UV system removed chlorine, reduced maintenance costs, and extended the lifespan of membranes.

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.

If We Don't Talk About Water, Are We Really Talking About Resiliency?
Energy Secretary Rick Perry is trying to prop up coal and nuclear companies under the guise of enhanced “resiliency.” The Department of Energy’s (DOE) proposal does not define resiliency, nor does it even make clear what resiliency means in the context of the electric grid.

How To Choose A UV System For Water Reuse In Your Facility
Water reuse is, and will continue to be, one of the biggest considerations for companies all over the world in the battle against water scarcity. By reusing process water, grey water, and wastewater, buildings and facilities will reduce their demand for raw water from surface and groundwater sources and reduce the associated costs of supplying raw water and treating raw water before use. One of the treatment methods for accomplishing this is UV disinfection.

ED vs. RO: The Benefits Of Electrodialysis For Desalination
There is no doubt that reverse osmosis (RO) currently reigns among desalination techniques, if your metric is total number of installations. But a new competitor has arisen, at least for particular applications. If you have brackish water in the 2,000 to 15,000 ppm range of total dissolved solids (TDS), you may want to consider electrodialysis (ED) over RO.

As Clouds Head For The Poles, Time To Prepare For Food And Water Shocks
A changing climate means less rain and lower water supplies in regions where many people live and much of the planet’s food is produced: the mid-latitudes of the Northern and Southern hemispheres, including the U.S. Southwest, southern Europe, and parts of the Middle East, southern Africa, Australia, and Chile.
