With oil prices depressed, exploration and production companies unearth the money-saving opportunities in water management planning.

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.

A high-tech “net” and the power of the sun are all that is needed to remove contaminants from water produced by fracking operations, oil spills, textile manufacturing, and other sources.

Are you for or against it? It seems everyone has picked a side in the debate over hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”), but most conflict would likely fall away if fracking was performed in a proven safe and sustainable manner, verified by a reliable source.

As the oil industry grows, so does the amount of produced water that must be treated. A variety of technologies are available for produced water treatment. Water Online shares a side-by-side comparison. 

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

The meat processing industry consists of two major groups - slaughterhouses and packinghouses. A slaughterhouse is a plant that harvests animals and whose main product is fresh meat as a whole or smaller meat cuts. A packinghouse is a plant that both slaughters and processes fresh meat to cured, smoked, canned and other prepared meat products.

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.

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.

When the polar bears at the Brookfield Zoo were introduced to their new habitats at the Great Bear Wilderness, they had no idea how much more fulfilling their life would become.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry is trying to prop up coal and nuclear companies under the guise of enhanced “resiliency.” The Department of Energy’s (DOE) proposal does not define resiliency, nor does it even make clear what resiliency means in the context of the electric grid.

We’ve almost made it to the midway point of the 84^th Session of the Texas Legislature. As many already know, the Texas Legislature only meets from January to May every other year, so a lot has to get done in these few months.

A hydroelectric power plant in Türkiye needed to establish a system for real-time monitoring of water consumption and turbine performance to enhance its operational efficiency. Crucially, the State Water Authority also required continuous, 24/7 remote access to water usage data for supervisory and regulatory compliance.

To assist industrial operators in managing and preventing biofilm, Italian start-up ALVIM Srl created a monitoring system that provides early warning detection of bacterial biofilm growing on pipelines, tanks, heat exchangers, RO membranes, and other equipment.

When specifying the impeller material for a non-clog sewage pump, how do you know whether to select cast iron or hard iron material?

LuminUltra’s BugCount Online was deployed for customer trials in January 2020. The first two sites included a pilot scale cooling tower system and a full-scale cooling tower at an industrial chemical manufacturing facility. This whitepaper highlights the findings from each of these trials.

Los Angeles Sanitation collects, cleans, and recycles solid and liquid waste generated by residential, commercial and industrial users in the city of Los Angeles and surrounding communities. The system serves over four million residents. The Bureau of Engineering for the Department of Public Works is responsible for maintaining the sewer and stormwater systems owned by the city. Over the last several decades, the city has worked to rehabilitate and replace much of its aging sanitary sewer system. As the progress continues, the city is now doing more work on the larger diameter piping structures in its system. These larger diameter rehabilitations are significantly more costly than the smaller diameter repairs and many of the systems employed by the city are significantly budget constrained.

Thermoplastic piping’s advantages are not limited to chemical-resistant properties alone. Before the first component is installed, plastic pipe engineering principles and prefabrication options create multiple cost and performance benefits. Water Online spoke with Brian LaBelle of GF Piping Systems to understand how water treatment facilities and OEMs can take greater advantage of the full breadth of plastic piping’s opportunities.

A team of academic researchers, lawyers, and journalists from 16 European countries has exposed a huge lobbying campaign aimed at gutting a proposed EU-wide restriction on the use of “forever chemicals.” This campaign saw significant increases in the lobbying expenditure of major producers of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
