9 Critical Reasons To Add Wireless Thief Hatch Management

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

2 Applications That Triggered The Rise Of Coriolis Flow Measurement

Coriolis measurement has been adopted as a default technology in many application scenarios due to its high accuracy and immunity to process variables (temperature, pressure and flow profile). However, Coriolis wasn't always widely accepted. Two applications, in particular, helped what was once a nascent flow measurement technology gain a foothold in the marketplace.

How To Manage The 4 Water-Based Fluids Associated With Hydraulic Fracturing

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.

Innovation In Water Remediation: Specialized Electrocoagulation For Water Hardness Removal

Hardness in water can be characterized into its primary constituent mineral components, typically calcium and magnesium. Excess water hardness in a water supply creates many issues for industry, utilities, and life in general.

The Advantages Of Automating Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater treatment operations are beginning to embrace the power of automation. How can it help? And how is it implemented?

How To Maximize Microbrewery Production Lines

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.

An Unconventional Approach To Dairy Wastewater Treatment

If you’ve ever looked into the ice cream freezers at your local grocery store you can imagine all the different ingredients you’d find at the ice cream factory: cream, sugar, chocolate, fruit, nuts, milk, syrups, and so on.

Increasing Water Shortage To Boost Wastewater Recovery Systems Market

With the worsening scenario of water scarcity across major world economies, the need for deploying wastewater recovery systems stands crucial to ensure the availability of fresh water among the masses.

Energy-Water Nexus Lessons Learned From The State Of Texas

By making strategic choices to maximize energy-water efficiencies, we can help protect our supplies in advance of our next drought. Here are three ways that work.

Are Biden's COP27 Goals Enough To Curb The Water-Food-Energy Nexus?

At the 27th UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in November 2022, world leaders gathered in Egypt to announce climate action initiatives and the steps each one planned to take to reduce the impacts of climate change in their respective countries. Among the leaders in attendance was U.S. President Biden, who outlined his goals and desires to double down on climate commitments relating to the water, food, energy nexus.

A Promise To Our Children To Save Water In Texas

It’s no secret that Texas is currently in the midst of a multi-year drought – yet the vast majority of our electricity comes from sources that contribute to this prolonged drought, namely coal, nuclear, and natural gas. All of these energy sources require copious amounts of water to produce electricity.

Controlling Biofouling In Governador José Richa Power Plant, Brazil

Read about an extensive study that was carried out to evaluate the ability of the HOD UV system to control biofouling in the Governador José Richa Power Plant. 

From Drought To Deluge: Gauging The Impact Of Western Rains For a number of years now, we have heard of dwindling water supplies in the western part of the U.S., but 2023 brought "atmospheric rivers" that (literally) flooded the Golden State and filled 12 of its 17 major reservoirs above their historical averages for the start of spring. It's a double-edged sword when such extreme weather arises, and obviously important to learn from the experience to better prepare for future events and plan for both resiliency and sustainability.

By making strategic choices to maximize energy-water efficiencies, we can help protect our supplies in advance of our next drought. Here are three ways that work.

A Market-Based Tool For Groundwater Conservation

Ventura County, California, is an agricultural powerhouse. In 2017, its revenues from agriculture were an estimated $2.1 billion. It also faces extraordinary population pressure, with nearly 450 people per square mile — about five times the average population density of the United States. Both agriculture and infrastructure are dependent on, and impacted by, the availability of water — which has itself been impacted by California’s rapidly-diminishing groundwater reserves.

Irrigation Consumer Bill of Rights: Smart Irrigation Starts With Smart Choices

As we celebrate Smart Irrigation Month, it's a great time to highlight not only smart technologies, but the smart people and smart decisions behind them. One remarkably smart tool that ties all three of those elements together is the Irrigation Consumer Bill of Rights by Dr. Charles Burt of the Irrigation Training and Research Center (ITRC) at the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo.

Why It's Time To View Plastic Pipe In A Whole New Light

Because recent advances in plastic materials and processing have led to a new generation of plastic piping systems to handle challenging water and chemical environments, it is important to understand why some older piping choices might no longer be the best bet. Here are some key reasons to consider new plastic-piping choices for municipal and industrial water/wastewater applications in a whole new light.

Post-Treatment Aeration Maintains Dissolved Oxygen In Effluent High-Solids Wastewater Prior To River Discharge

The LeSourdsville WWTP in Butler County, Ohio, was required to meet their NPDES permit requirement of 6 mg/l dissolved oxygen at the plants Miami River outfall.

Empowering Water Entrepreneurship: Elevating Economical, Ecological Water Projects

Part one in our series on the “Pow! emPowering Opportunities in Water” competition from Veolia, The Water Council, and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation dives into the background of the contest and highlights winning company Nutrient Recovery and Upcycling LLC.

When Inches Count: Flow Metering In Constrained Spaces

From offshore oil platforms that come with a hefty cost for every square foot to college campuses that rely on steam plants in cramped basements, flow metering is critical to many operations where space comes at a premium. The problem is that most flow metering technologies conflict with space limitations because of their substantial straight pipe run requirements. The good news is there is an alternative.
