Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is used in everything from agriculture to pharmaceuticals, but the most common way of manufacturing this everyday chemical presents a tricky measurement challenge, because it involves precipitation to form a course, abrasive slurry.

In oil/gas production, refining and storage operations around the globe, flare gas systems are used to burn-off and dispose of waste, excess or off-gases, and as a safety system. The accurate, responsive and reliable measurement of flare gas is essential in order to assure proper operation of the flare gas system, which protects people and equipment from potentially hazardous combustible gas to maintain a safe working environment and to avoid environmental contamination.

Researchers at MIT have developed a system that uses visible light to treat produced water, a potential economic and environmental savior for the oil and gas industry.

The fuels that propel modern society have been found in water supplies all over the world. Some fuel-related contaminants can be found at a majority of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) National Priority List Sites, where they pose a potential threat to human and environmental health.

Everyone is familiar with the water cut statistics: three to seven barrels of produced water emerge from the ground per barrel of oil. This oft-cited statistic is useful to appreciate the scale of the volumes of water produced in the Permian Basin. However, it does not tell the whole story.

A Kaeser EBS series screw blower is making wastewater treatment considerably more efficient and effective at the Goldsteig dairy factory in Cham in the Upper Palatinate region in Germany.

Valley Pride Pack wanted to reduce the operational costs associated with their wastewater treatment system.

The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District (GLSD) in North Andover, MA, was one of 28 organizations nationwide to be honored for an innovative water or wastewater project in the most recent PISCES Recognition Program sponsored by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). PISCES stands for Performance and Innovation in the SRF Creating Environmental Success.

Aire-02 was approached by a large sugar beet processing facility that was in desperate need of a rapid and effective solution for their deteriorating wastewater treatment system.

Due to new rules proposed by the FDA, monitoring services and new pumps will likely be shopping-list items for food processors.

At the end of 2011, the total hydroelectric installed capacity in the United Kingdom accounted for approximately 1.67 Gigawatts (GW) of installed electrical generating capacity, being 1.9% of the current total UK generating capacity, and 14% of the UK's renewable energy generating capacity.

Since EPA released its proposed Clean Power Plan (CPP) in June of this year, the plan has been a hot topic in every state.

The client was in need of both a raw water and wastewater treatment system for its new 1,100-megawatt (MW) natural gasfired combined cycle power station that was being built to replace an existing 400-MW coal-fired plant that had been decommissioned previously. Veolia Water Technologies was contacted to engineer, procure and supply a 6,000 gallons per minute (GPM) raw water treatment system and a 1,200-GPM wastewater treatment system.

Top-performing coal-fired power plant finds that SolarBee^® solar-powered mixers combat blue-green algae in 500-acre reservoir without the need for chemicals or mechanical aeration.

The need for cooling-water systems is common among industrial applications, but the treatments needed to keep them operating at peak efficiency can change from location to location and season to season. Here is why a different type of quaternary ammonium compound (quat) algaecide has an important role to play in balancing performance, efficiency, and total lifecycle costs across many cooling-water-treatment regimens.

As excess nutrients continue to pollute source water, bringing dead zones and toxic chemicals, it’s time for the disparate agencies that can make a difference to band together.

This article is the second in a series on industrial water treatment focusing on inorganic contaminants.

Located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, the Frank E. VanLare Waste Water Treatment Facility, Monroe County, N.Y., has a total treatment capacity of 660 mgd and is currently running around 100 mgd. The plant uses Non-metallic Eclipse pumps to pump 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite, Chlorine, for disinfection before the final discharge of the wastewater.

Known for the “best potatoes in the world,” the state of Idaho generates approximately $4 billion in annual agricultural revenue (according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2017).

Sometimes technology innovations come along which cause a paradigm shift in how products are designed.
