The U.S. EPA sets national ambient air quality and greenhouse gas emission standards to ensure public health. Thermal mass flow meters deliver a direct reading of mass flow rate of natural gas and other fuel gases — without temperature and pressure compensation — and provide a simple, reliable and cost-effective method for tracking and reporting fuel consumption.

It’s been two months since EPA released its much anticipated draft report on hydraulic fracturing, and organizations like ours are busy preparing their official comments, which are due at the end of August. But based on what we have learned so far and what has been written in the media, it’s important to spend some time on what the report said — and didn’t say — and what it all means.

Franklin Miller has a multitude of inline processors suitable to handle the complex demands of oil and gas applications. The unique needs pertaining to the extraction, refining, and transporting of petroleum products can be easily handled by Franklin Miller grinders.

Ever since Coriolis flow measurement technology achieved mainstream appeal, industry has been fervently striving to take advantage of its benefits. And while Coriolis is clearly a highly advantageous solution for many crucial flow measurement applications, it is not without flaw.

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

Installing the most appropriate blower equipment in the process can enhance yeast and enzyme production, minimize energy costs, guarantee food safety, and avoid costly failures.

One of the United States’ newest dairy processing plants features advanced wastewater treatment technology that not only radically improves biomass recovery and effluent quality, but also harnesses green energy from waste streams to drive production processes and reduce its carbon footprint.

A microbrewer’s expertise is in brewing, not engineering. Discover how you can get the most out of production lines without the costs associated with hiring outside engineers or experts.

Food and beverage production and processing consume massive amounts of water — both in products and as an essential material for various cleaning, cooling, and utility purposes. As climate change and drought threaten existing water sources, businesses and consumers are paying more attention to how industry at large uses it.

The company that is active in the food industry collects and processes animal by-products but also waste edible oil, biodegradable kitchen and canteen waste. These products are recycled to proteins and technical fats and purified oils. 

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.

2015 proved to be another weird weather year around the country, especially for Texas. 80 degrees and dry in Austin on Christmas Day, spring wildflowers in bloom, and kids playing outside in shorts — a surprise ending to a wild ride of drought followed by devastating floods followed by drought and then more floods.

Water’s high heat capacity, high thermal conductivity, and historically low cost make it popular for process heat exchange. Power plants, especially those for liquid cooling applications, withdraw a large fraction of the total demand for water necessary for agriculture, industry, recreation, hygiene, drinking, and wildlife.  By Kevin J.

A power plant's wastewater was being contaminated by coal ash generated from power plant operations. The plant was searching for a treatment/polishing system to maintain a TSS of less than 25 PPM. 

A hydroelectric power plant in Türkiye needed to establish a system for real-time monitoring of water consumption and turbine performance to enhance its operational efficiency. Crucially, the State Water Authority also required continuous, 24/7 remote access to water usage data for supervisory and regulatory compliance.

When establishing a processing and freeze-drying system for an exotic mushroom customer, Van Drunen Farms in Momence, Illinois found themselves in search of a solution for a unique set of challenges.

Last week the House of Representatives approved a bill to block the proposed “Waters of the United States” rule, which would expand the U.S. EPA’s authority to include many streams and wetlands that currently go unregulated under the Clean Water Act. Has the EPA gone too far, or are they just doing what is necessary to protect and enhance water quality?

It's been a busy year for water…from one city's reputation being negatively affected by water shut-offs to the effects of extreme drought on a state's livelihood.

Installing the most appropriate blower equipment in the process can enhance yeast and enzyme production, minimize energy costs, guarantee food safety, and avoid costly failures.

A biogas station in Poběžovice, the Czech Republic could be a prototype for what the future holds for the production of energy from renewable sources. Built by the Spin Plzeň company, the facility is located on the grounds of an agricultural farm focused on pig breeding. The station processes a combination of biodegradable waste to produce the biogas. The main component is 100 m3/day of liquid pig manure which is combined with maize silage and slaughterhouse waste.

When we think of pumps, we seem to focus on what material is being pumped, how fast, how efficient and overall reliability. However, what we tend to not think about as much are the little heroes inside the pump that are making it all go around, no pun intended.

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.

Cost-efficient aeration still remains an underlying challenge. This Q&A article provides a look at how the industry arrived at today’s opportunities and where it’s headed for the future.

Anshan Steel, one of China’s largest steel producers, required demineralized water for its boiler application as the plant planned to expand its capacity.

For water system operators, contract engineers, OEMs, and reverse-osmosis (RO) membrane suppliers alike, the difference between expectations for RO membrane element performance and quantifiable performance in the actual operating environment can be fraught with surprises. This article addresses guidelines for establishing realistic RO warranty performance criteria and achieving those criteria in real-world applications.
