Pile Cloth Media Filtration For Clean Utilities

Cooling towers and boilers consume the most fresh water in the industry, with industrial process waters carrying the balance. Power plants and refineries use more water volume for the cooling process than any other area of the facility. Mining and food and beverage industries consume higher volumes for their processes. Clean water may come from a range of sources, including clarified surface waters, groundwater or properly treated wastewater (reuse) sources.

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.

Water And Power Generation Remain A Balancing Act Amid Tightening Regulations

A recent survey digs into the treatment aspects of water in the power industry, revealing how electric utilities are responding to concerns over regulations and volumes of use.

Can Co-Locating Utilities Solve The Water-Energy Nexus?

Resources being a scarce commodity, it’s incumbent upon us to optimize the use of water and energy as best we can. While conservation is the prime course of action for the public, the best solution for utilities may be to work smarter — by having the water-energy nexus work for us instead of against us.

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.

Understanding The Ballast Water Fractions

With more than 4,000 different organisms found in a ship’s ballast water tank, it’s no surprise why ballast water monitoring is vital to preventing the spread of these invasive species, and why the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires that all sizes of ballast organisms are monitored.

Emergence Of Smart Irrigation Technologies To Help Overcome Shortcomings Of Conventional Agriculture Practices

Smart irrigation technology refers to the integration of many scientifically advanced solutions to help in the remote automation and monitoring of the irrigation process. The use of smart irrigation technologies has played a key role in helping the agriculture industry overcome the drawbacks of conventional agricultural practices. 

What Is A V-Cone Meter? And Why Should I Care?

There is a better alternative for differential pressure (DP) metering accuracy in problematic applications where other meter designs might compromise performance. A V-Cone meter’s simple mechanical design overcomes confined spacing, pipeline turbulence, and even noisy electrical environments that can hamper other meters. Best of all, it delivers + 0.5 percent accuracy and provides an easy retrofit solution for difficult installations.
