We arm plant operators with actionable data necessary to make informed decisions about water management in industrial facilities.

As the oil industry grows, so does the amount of produced water that must be treated. A variety of technologies are available for produced water treatment. Water Online shares a side-by-side comparison. 

For the unfamiliar, the term “disruptive technology” initially sounds quite bad, as though it describes something that gets in the way. Far from impeding progress, however, disruptive technologies actually accelerate progress exponentially by disrupting the status quo. Think personal computers vs. mainframes, or cell phones vs. land lines.

A dedicated, manufacturer-approved verification system is the ideal solution for maintaining optimal performance of your installed base of KROHNE electromagnetic and mass flow meters.

CCP, Inc. in West Paterson, N.J. makes over 1,000 product formulations under private labels for the cosmetics industry, using materials such as persulfates, alkali silicates, phosphates, sodium chloride, and magnesium chloride.

Most Australian food waste ends up in landfill. Rotting in the absence of oxygen produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. While some facilities capture this “landfill gas” to produce energy, or burn it off to release carbon dioxide instead, it’s a major contributor to climate change. Valuable resources such as water and nutrients are also wasted.

Arsenic in water is one thing, but arsenic in beer? This is getting out of hand. While the drinking water supply is clearly much more of a concern than the beer supply, the sobering fact is that arsenic, a known carcinogen, is far too prevalent in the environment.

Read about the cloth media filter installations that have been operating in food and beverage wastewater plants for over 25 years.

A static headspace method was developed using Teledyne Tekmar automated headspace vial samplers to meet the method requirements of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the US Department of the Treasury (TTB) method SSD: TM:2001 for testing fusel alcohols in alcoholic beverages.

Learn about an alternative technique that food and beverage manufacturers can use to protect their products from microbial contamination while maintaining product quality and shelf-life, without chemical additives preservatives. 

Amid growing concerns around algal bloom, industrial operations are under pressure to stop using phosphorus-based water treatment technology. But transition to an alternative can be daunting.

This article is the first of two in a Women’s History Month series that showcases a handful of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL's) outstanding women researchers in water power.

A natural gas-fired combined cycle power generation facility located in Idaho contacted QUA to find a solution to improve the performance of a water treatment system used to recycle the plant’s cooling tower blow down water.

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.

We arm plant operators with actionable data necessary to make informed decisions about water management in industrial facilities.

There’s no good time to interrupt production at a manufacturing facility. For a worldwide leader in audio equipment, halting production for a facility maintenance project leading up to the busy holiday season was not an option.

New technology has entered the market that rethinks the traditional rotary lobe pump design and has pushed it into a new paradigm.

Opened a few months per year, seasonal establishments typically experience important fluctuations in the number of visitors. Energy consumption and operating expenses must continually be analysed and optimized. The implementation of efficient energy management practices and the integration of innovative wastewater treatment solutions that can improve their cost-efficiency ratio have become major sources of savings for this whole industry.

The Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) has conducted a host of studies, summarized here, to help utilities evaluate and solve their nutrient-related problems.

According to a new study conducted by the U.S. EPA, “forever chemicals” are far more harmful than previously believed.

Most Australian food waste ends up in landfill. Rotting in the absence of oxygen produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. While some facilities capture this “landfill gas” to produce energy, or burn it off to release carbon dioxide instead, it’s a major contributor to climate change.

In drought-plagued California, the supply of water falls well short of demand — with food production hanging in the balance. The implications are felt globally, but relief can be found locally.

An inherent vertical of the global specialty chemicals space, hypochlorite bleaches market has been observing remarkable popularity of late. With rising incidences of infectious illnesses on a global scale, the demand for disinfectants, bleaching, and sanitization products is likely to accelerate. Hypochlorite bleaches are popular disinfection products with the ability to terminate a vast array of disease-causing bacteria, fungi, viruses, and fungi, provided they are used with adequate precautionary measures and adhere to specific usage guidelines.

For municipal and industrial wastewater treatment managers and support staffs, the prospect of using artificial intelligence (AI) to guide better decision-making sometimes seems more like a distant promise than a ready solution. Here are some insights on how AI can use historical data to improve operational intelligence and optimize processes, plus guidelines on how water professionals can do more to harness that power sooner.

The proper selection and use of wet-end biocidal treatments is a key element in the effort to optimize efficacy and efficiency in papermaking.  Biofilm control represents a particularly challenging form of microbial control.  Hydantoin stabilization technology was developed to protect the advantages of chlorine-based oxidants for microbial control, while improving efficacy, efficiency, and potentially overall cost of the treatment program.
