Fighting For Florida's Surface-Water Standards
Late last month, a panel of regulators appointed by Governor Rick Scott narrowly approved the first changes to Florida’s surface-water quality standards since 1992. Marked with adamant support on one side and passionate protest on the other, the sweeping amendment has left questions about how clean Florida’s water will be.

How Oil & Gas States Did (And Did Not) Protect Land And Water In 2018
Keeping an eye on what happens with domestic oil and gas regulation is a bit like herding cats. We’ve seen encouraging progress on air quality issues related to oil and gas, but an equally critical front that’s seen major action is protection of our land and water resources.

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.

In-Line Ultrasonic Meters Provide Continuous Measurement For Sample Stations
Boilers, cooling towers, and reverse osmosis (RO) systems are some of the most common systems that require monitoring and chemical treatment. Chemical treatment of boiler systems reduces scale, corrosion, and other mineral deposits. This enables the system to run more efficiently, keep heat transfer rates high and fuel costs down. To determine the proper amount of chemical to be injected into the water stream, samples of key parameters need to be taken. Instrumentation to measure ORP, pH, conductivity, temperature, pressure and flow are deployed to take these measurements.

Understanding How Predictive Analytics Tools Benefit Power Utility Asset Management
The impact of utility industry restructuring is being felt on several levels. The upside of distributed generation growth and the diversification of power sources are also resulting in the downside of loading issues, less switching flexibility and the potential for reverse power flow. New predictive asset analytics tools allow utility personnel to address these issues before they become problems. This paper reviews how these tools can be applied to both utility operations and maintenance.
