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.

Importance Of Filtration in Water Treatment For Process Water & Wastewater Reuse

Filtration is very important for many commercial/industrial process water & wastewater reuse applications. In reality, pumping wastewater from somewhere like a refinery, food/beverage, textile or oil produced water application requires pre-filtration due to high amount of suspended solids in these typical applications. In fact, there are typically several filtration and treatment steps in these applications to ensure that the treated water meets the required discharge or reuse standard. In addition, filtration in water treatment ensures reduced operating cost on downstream polishing water treatment systems.

Assessing Key Unconventional Shale Wastewater Trends And Opportunities

The shale-gas boom could make water the most important commodity product of the 21st century.

Fracking Disclosures Show Widespread Use Of Hazardous Chemicals

Fracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, is a process in which workers inject fluids underground under high pressure. The fluids fracture coal beds and shale rock, allowing the gas and oil trapped within the rock to rise to the surface. Advances in fracking launched a huge expansion of U.S. oil and gas production starting in the early 2000s but also triggered intense debate over its health and environmental impacts.

Drought Forum Webinar: The Growing Demand For Re-Used And Brackish Water

The Western Governors' Drought Forum webinar “Once Marginal, Now Crucial: The Growing Demand for Re-used, Produced, and Brackish Water” explores the technological and regulatory obstacles to utilizing re-used, produced, and brackish water.

5 Approaches to Treating Wastewater in Beverage (Dairy) Production

The dairy industry undertakes a number of activities that involve converting raw milk into milk, butter, cheese and yogurt using processes such as chilling, pasteurization, and homogenization

The Rotostrainer Joins The Craft Beer Revolution

Spent hops and general brewery wastewater are natural by-products of the beer-making process and must be reused or disposed of accordingly. Some brewers are charged substantial fines for dumping high-solids wastewater into the city sewer system. With Parkson Rotostrainers, over 90% of the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of wastewater can be filtered out, greatly reducing the city sewer charges. Many breweries can even sell much of the spent grain and other captured solids to local farms as livestock feed, thereby profiting on an otherwise ‘waste’ product.

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.

Are You On The Hook For U.S. EPA Effluent Limitations Guidelines?

While wastewater effluent standards mandated by the U.S. EPA and individual states eventually come down to a number, it pays to understand how those standards are established and the challenges of meeting them in real-world applications. Here is a look at the multiple pieces of that puzzle, including their wastewater treatment implications for industrial-scale meat and poultry processing operations.

The Importance Of Clean Water, A Foundation For Green Hydrogen Energy Production

As the global economy starts fully integrating other sources of energy in addition to fossil fuel, solar and wind, green hydrogen is starting to gain momentum.

CleanFlo™ Monoscreen® Case Study

When the polar bears at the Brookfield Zoo were introduced to their new habitats at the Great Bear Wilderness, they had no idea how much more fulfilling their life would become.

Power Resiliency Tips For Water And Wastewater Utilities

Are you prepared to keep services up and running if the grid goes down?

Power-Gen Efficiency Boosted By Clamp-On Flow Meters

When an energy storage facility in New York, USA was looking for a way to improve the efficiency of their power generating turbines they did not have many options to choose from. Because of the sheer size, the space limitations and performance requirements of the application, the only option was to install a SITRANS FS230 clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter from Siemens. 

How The Middle East Is Transforming Its Power And Water Industry

Global demand for power and water is accelerating — and the Middle East is no exception. A burgeoning population combined with multiple industrial diversification programs is fueling a boom in power and water projects. During the first three quarters of 2017, about US$30 billion of major power contracts and US$20 billion of water projects were awarded across the region. In 2018, the figure is looking more like $60 billion with the two sectors combined.

Improved Mixing And Fine Bubble Aeration Help To Reduce Water Exchange, Shorten Production Cycle And Increase Overall Growth Rates

Finca Empacadora de Tilapia Milagro is one of the fastest growing and successful tilapia projects in Central America since its operation started in 2015.

Railroad Bridge Repaired Using Geopolymer Mortar

A bridge in Laurel, Montana needed repairs as the concrete showed signs of distress due to climate and environmental conditions. Read the case study to learn how Geoploymer mortar saved the day.

Mixing Made Easy For Low Energy Lakes, Ponds, And Lagoons

Landlocked, shallow bodies of water such as recreational ponds, irrigation, drinking water and animal waste lagoons have a major problem with flow. The only natural methods of movement in these bodies of water are the slight Coriolis Effect of the earth and wind.

Solving The World's Microplastics Problem: 4 Solutions Cities And States Are Trying After Global Treaty Talks Collapsed

Microplastics seem to be everywhere — in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. Countries have tried for the past few years to write a global plastics treaty that might reduce human exposure, but the latest negotiations collapsed in August 2025. While U.S. and global solutions seem far off, policies to limit harm from microplastics are gaining traction at the state and local levels.
