Guidelines For Biocide Performance Assessment Using 2nd Generation ATP

The following are guidelines for execution of biocide performance studies (or ‘kill studies’) on industrial process samples such as oilfield process waters, pulp and paper process waters, metalworking samples, fuels and fuel-associated waters. These guidelines have been generated to leverage the unique features of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) monitoring test kits from LuminUltra Technologies Ltd. which include provisions to minimize interferences from various sources including suspended particles, organic molecules, heavy metals, dissolved solids, residual biocides and extra-cellular ATP.

FEDI System Is Key To Long-Term Success Of Plant's Oil Refining Process

Petrogas LLP, one of the world’s largest oil rehabilitation companies, required demineralized water for a new boiler component to its Turkmenistan refinery.

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.

Municipal Water Reuse Done Right: Lessons In Efficiency

California water reuse program provides multiple benefits, serving as a model for other municipalities.

Water Is Beer My water career started with beer. No, not the amount I drank on my way to my chemical engineering degree at Manhattan College. I mean the 10,000+ hours I spent optimizing filtration systems in breweries throughout the world.

Fish Hatchery Chooses UV Treatment

Located on the Klamath River in Hornbrook, California, Iron Gate Hatchery is a salmon and steelhead hatchery that releases fish back to the Klamath River. Due to the presence of fungus and microorganisms, hatchery yield was thwarted due to disease.

AnoxKaldnes MBBR Reduced Wastewater OPEX At Meat Processing Facility

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

Texas' Evolving Energy Reality: Clean Energy Uses Less Water

It’s been an interesting time for water in Texas. Beyond the incredibly wet and cool spring we’ve been having, Memorial Day saw the second year in a row of record-breaking floods.

Stator Cooling Water In Power Generation Plants

Power Generation plants produce electricity by converting one form of primary energy (nuclear or non-nuclear) to motive power in order to drive generators and produce electricity.

The Key To Accurate Waste Gas Flow Measurement

Wastewater treatment facilities have a tremendous opportunity to utilize the biogas they generate to lower energy costs and minimize odors. However, the practice isn’t as widespread as it could be, as the precision gas flow and methane content readings required to optimize the process often clash with the misconception that biogas is messy and difficult to measure reliably. With the proper equipment, it is possible to accurately measure biogas to cut emissions and reduce or eliminate the energy bill.

KETOS Provides Real-Time Lab Accurate Results For Effluent Water

A leading provider of water and wastewater treatment solution for industrial, municipal, and recreational customers faced a number of issues with the safe treatment and disposal of coal ash and residual ash in ponds. Frequent testing at multiple locations was needed to ensure water safety and compliance. 

Maximum Water Reuse, Zero Liquid Discharge — A Power Plant Case Study

ELCOGAS, established in 1992 with the aim of building and operating a 335 MW Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant as well as the commercialization of its technology.

Pre-Filtration To Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filters

This processing plant faced operational challenges due to ceramic dust from the manufacturing process passing through their clarifier, even with flocculent addition.

Identifying Odor Control Needs In Manufacturing Operations

Odor problems at manufacturing facilities can be unexpected, and can work against the production the facility is meant to accomplish. It starts out as a nuisance or a non-compliance issue, but can become a much bigger problem. Solving the problem requires analyzing how a facility’s processes generate and disperse odorous air, and then identifying an appropriate odor control solution.

Agriculture And Pharma Key To Solving Micropollutants

As the phrase "forever chemicals" enters the Oxford English Dictionary for the first time in 2024, and these fluorinated substances expand the list of micropollutants, it might be time for a change in the way these persistent environmental pollutants are tackled.

The Importance Of Water Efficiency In Enhancing Economic Development Strategies Establishing water efficiency measures with commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) sector partners has a lasting effect if positioned from a standpoint of cost savings, utility footprint reduction, and overall economic development benefits.
