Collaborative research is a critical element for identifying unforeseen risks associated with using the oil industry’s wastewater outside the oilfield. That’s the recommendation of a new peer-reviewed paper accepted this week in the Journal of Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management (IEAM).

A new study led by researchers with Colorado School of Mines exposes limitations with the current methods used to detect chemicals in oilfield wastewater and offers solutions to help regulators make better decisions for managing this waste stream.

Technologies which could transform the shape of the water industry of the future will be on show at the fifth BlueTech Forum, to be held in San Francisco.

GE Water & Process Technologies and the World Resources Institute (WRI), an independent research organization studying sustainability, jointly produced a white paper called “Water-Energy Nexus: Business Risks and Rewards.” The paper hones in on the shared interest of the two groups, namely the supply of freshwater counted on by the energy industry, which in turn fuels water treatment operations, a relationship that’s known as the “water-energy nexus.”

While The Water Online Show covers everything water and wastewater, the challenges regarding flow measurement are consistent amongst many other industries. Whether it’s Oil & Gas or Green Energy or any other closely related industry, solutions for these measurements and calibrations related to flow are available. Adam Schleyhahn, Director of Sales and Marketing for FCI joins the show to tell us more.

Three thousand litres of water — that is the amount needed to produce the food each British person eats every day. This is according to a new study into the “water footprint” of diets in Western Europe, conducted by the European Commission and published in Nature Sustainability.

Food and beverage wastewater treatment demands often fluctuate more drastically than municipal wastewater applications in terms of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) relating to the foods being processed or to cyclical activity. Modular, self-contained systems offer practical, cost-effective solutions to help food processors keep pace with such variability — as a total or supplemental solution. Here’s how.

As with any industrial process, the right tool for the job depends on the nature of the task at hand. In aerobic wastewater treatment, that optimal choice often comes down to a balance between the biological and financial demands of the application. Either way, here are several performance comparisons of how multiple aeration methods and locations stack up in industrial wastewater treatment applications.

Microfloat Dispersed Air Flotation (DAF) System is an effective, affordable, and reliable physical/chemical pre-treatment technology for removing up to 90% free-floating FOG, 60% TSS, and 30% BOD*– all at a much lower cost than traditional DAF systems.

Wastewater ponds may seem an unlikely place to look for solutions an electricity security crisis. But their underutilized surfaces could help tackle two problems at once — high power prices and algal growth.

With large parts of the country facing drought conditions, including California, Massachusetts, and Alabama, small communities and cities alike are facing increased water-energy nexus pressures.

To break down the treatment options here are three popular ultrapure treatment processes from leading technology suppliers.

When we think of high tech, we typically think about electricity. Fair enough. But power up a deeper search and you'll see how integral water is to the high-tech world.

Last week the House of Representatives approved a bill to block the proposed “Waters of the United States” rule, which would expand the U.S. EPA’s authority to include many streams and wetlands that currently go unregulated under the Clean Water Act. Has the EPA gone too far, or are they just doing what is necessary to protect and enhance water quality?
