New Technology Makes Wastewater From Oilsands Safer For Fish

In the northeastern corner of Alberta, nestled among the expanses of forests and wetlands, lies a major freshwater dilemma that Canada is currently facing. The reuse of water for oil extraction causes tailings ponds to accumulate higher and higher concentrations of harmful contaminants. As such, the water in these tailings ponds is dangerous, and often lethal, to birds, fish, frogs, and plants.

Resource Revolution: The Energy/Water Nexus In Unconventional Oil & Gas - Highlights

GE partnered with the Wharton School's Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership (IGEL) for an industry leaders' discussion about the energy/water nexus in unconventional oil & gas production.

Read about a technology that dairy plants can take advantage of to optimize the treatment of their wastewater and assure consistent compliance to effluent discharge permits.

Food Sanitation Startup Uses Innovation And SMART Digital Dosing To Fight COVID-19

As a startup that has been recognized for its innovation in food safety, Clean Works quickly recognized its unique position to help fight COVID-19 by using its produce disinfection technology to disinfect critically needed masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE).

Webinar: Newterra's Dispersed Air Flotation (DAF)

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.

Optimizing Aeration Reliability In Food And Beverage Wastewater Applications

In addition to penalties for non-compliance, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators in the food and beverage industry risk excessive losses caused by problems at the wastewater treatment facility.

The DELUMPER®: A Sweet Success At ADM

ADM Cocoa Plant in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania needed help with their cocoa bean production. The plant processes two and a half million pounds of cocoa beans each day, turning them into cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and chocolate liquor. The company needed a machine to process sugar with over-sized lumps that could occur in transport or storage. Unless these agglomerated clumps were reduced to a granular form, the process could not work dependably. The machine also had to handle the large quantity of sugar processed daily and be sanitary.

How Water Utilities Can Support The Electric Grid While Reducing Costs Orange County Water District is combining operational flexibility with environmental stewardship by participating in demand response, earning millions in payments while maintaining their commitment to delivering clean, reliable water.

Cooling Tower Crisis: How Hydrogen Peroxide Scrubbed Away The Bacteria Buildup

A West coast power plant needed an immediate solution to clean its cooling tower that was fast, cost effective, and did not require removal and manual cleaning of the tower's fill material. 

SuperDisc™ Filtration System Case Study

Glendale Heights Wastewater Treatment Plant discharges treated water to the East Branch of the DuPage River in Illinois.

Selenium Removal Technologies: A Review

Selenium, a contaminant of concern in industries such as mining, oil refining, and power generation, is removed from wastewater principally through either biological or chemical/physical processes. This article will describe those technologies, several technology providers, and other sources of information.

No Grey Area To This Issue: Slimes Of All Colours Can Cause Costly Problems In Papermaking Processes

Pink, orange, red, brown and grey – paper mill slimes can come in an endless range of colours.  What contributes to these variances in colour? Microorganisms.  Different species – which live within a slime – produce different hues.  Unfortunately, you won’t find gold at the end of that rainbow.  In fact, it’s quite the contrary, as slime can pose costly problems for papermaking facilities.

Ukraine Dam Breach Caused Economic, Agricultural, And Ecological Devastation That Will Last For Years

When an explosion breached the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine on June 6, 2023, much analysis focused on near-term impacts, including the flooding of the city of Kherson, threats to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and consequences for Ukrainian military forces’ expected spring offensive against Russian troops. But the most severe long-term effects will fall on Southeast Ukraine’s farmers.

Reducing Wastewater Hauling Through An Advanced Membrane Treatment Technology Hauling wastewater is one of the most expensive and least sustainable means of managing wastewater, significantly impacting the environment through carbon emissions, and drastically increasing operational costs. As industries strive to meet environmental and economic goals, finding sustainable wastewater treatment methods is needed — now more than ever.

The Schwarzach Canal Bridge

When it opened in 1846, the Danube-Main (Ludwig) Canal was an ambitious engineering project intended to put the recently founded Kingdom of Bavaria on the map as a modern industrial power.

How To Detect More Antimicrobial-Resistant Bacteria In Our Waterways Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in waterways presents a critical threat. If commonly used antibiotics are deemed useless, decades of progress in human medicine and agriculture could be undermined. But AMR is not just a human health issue. It also contributes to a decline in water quality and is exacerbated by water pollution, particularly from sources such as sewage and agricultural runoff.

TASKMASTER® Grinder Contributes to BioFuel Production

The Meadowbrook Dairy in El Mirage, California is part of a growing alternative energy initiative -the production of energy from renewable sources. In this example, the renewable source is manure provided by the dairy’s 2000 cows. Each day, 20,000 gallons of manure are collected, deposited and processed in an anaerobic digester. Methane is released which fuels a turbine that generates electricity. Enough power is generated to meet most of the daily needs of the 159 acre dairy.

Filter System Unclogs Steel Mill Cooling Water Recycle Loop

Recycled cooling water at a steel production facility was picking up grit, oil, and debris spray from the floor of the facility -- which was plugging nozzles, forcing a shutdown of the cooling system.
