New Hampshire Puts $350 Million To Work From A Successful Lawsuit Over MTBE Contamination
From cleaner water to infrastructure upgrades, good stories are easy to find after the state of New Hampshire set out to hold polluters accountable for contaminating groundwater with methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), a gasoline additive now banned or limited in several states. Through private well testing, watershed protection and new water facilities, the people of the Granite State are turning the tide on water contamination and restoring the safety and reliability of their drinking water supplies thanks to bold action to make sure polluters pay for damage.

Diamond Electrode Wastewater Treatment Shines Bright
No business wants the word "toxic" associated with its operations. The world has grown very weary (and wary) of companies that aren't environmentally responsible. So while toxic wastewater as a byproduct of mining, oil refining, or other industrial processes isn't new, the impetus to treat these streams is steadily rising.

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.

Use Of Pure Oxygen To Resolve Capacity And Odor Problems
The Escalon Industrial Waste Water Treatment Facility’s service area is seasonal and centered on tomato and pickle processing. The production season (roughly mid-July through mid-October) sees high hydraulic- and BOD loads that strain the facility’s capacity. During the high season highly variable BOD load depletes DO and causes permit violations and odor complaints. Praxair installed 4 X 15 HP Medium Velocity Oxygenation (MVO™ oxygenation system), with the ability to deliver up to 6 TPD of oxygen to supplement the existing aeration capacity at the facility.

Sustainable Clarification In Food And Beverage Operations
Companies within the food & beverage industry generate significant quantities of wastewater each day. For example, a 16 oz. can of beer is about 90-95% water; however, to make that can, beer producers utilize approximately 7 times this quantity. About 2/3 to 3/4 of the water is typically discharged as wastewater to a municipal sewer system.

Will Water Scarcity Be The Death Of Fossil Fuels?
Water stress, whether caused by drought, access limitation, or contamination, has been increasingly detrimental for an ever-growing range of industries. Recently, a report by CDP, in collaboration with Planet Tracker, shed light on the significant impact of water insecurity on the financial performance of more than 4,000 companies. Of particular note are those companies in energy or energy-adjacent sectors.
