With the change in administration comes a potential paradox for water and wastewater treatment in the oil and gas industry: Will increased production accompanied by decreased regulations call for more treatment technology or less? Either way, the market is poised for change.

From cleaner water to infrastructure upgrades, good stories are easy to find after the state of New Hampshire set out to hold polluters accountable for contaminating groundwater with methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), a gasoline additive now banned or limited in several states. Through private well testing, watershed protection and new water facilities, the people of the Granite State are turning the tide on water contamination and restoring the safety and reliability of their drinking water supplies thanks to bold action to make sure polluters pay for damage.

The Wet Gas MASSter sensor is for use in applications that have a high level of moisture or condensation present in the gas flow stream that cannot otherwise be removed.

Read about the current business challenges in the oil and gas industry. 

Everyone is familiar with the water cut statistics: three to seven barrels of produced water emerge from the ground per barrel of oil. This oft-cited statistic is useful to appreciate the scale of the volumes of water produced in the Permian Basin. However, it does not tell the whole story.

Learn how Simmons Foods resolved their wastewater treatment issues by replacing their aeration equipment, resulting in increased treatment capacity, improved removal rates, and reduced operating costs and energy consumption. 

This application note explores Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) systems that have been installed worldwide in a variety of applications, ranging from a few gallons per minute (GPM) to thousands of GPM.

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.

With the worsening scenario of water scarcity across major world economies, the need for deploying wastewater recovery systems stands crucial to ensure the availability of fresh water among the masses.

ABB provides an extensive selection of proven measurement and analytical products and solutions for power generation industry applications.

From time-to-time I write on topics that are related to water and wastewater as a "backgrounder" so that those involved in the field can gain a wider perspective and have available to them a cogent explanation minus jargon on various topics. By Dr. J.H. Wakefield

The EPA has proposed a regulation  that, if passed,  would set the first federal limits on the levels of toxic metals in wastewater discharged from power plants in over three decades. 

Using earth-friendly energy and conserving water supports the fight against climate change and preserves our freshwater reserves.

Plant Bowen, a coal-fired power station in Georgia, successfully implemented Atlantium's HOD UV technology to eliminate microbial growth and improve the performance of their reverse osmosis system. The HOD UV system removed chlorine, reduced maintenance costs, and extended the lifespan of membranes.

Between 2001 and 2002, a faulty valve on a sump beneath a helicopter refueling oasis began slowly leaking jet fuel at the Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield of Fort Drum. When it was ultimately discovered in April 2006, it was estimated that approximately 350,000 gallons of jet fuel had been released into the ground, contaminating a three acre area of the base. newterra was contracted to provide remediation equipment to address the spill.

Biofilms are extremely complex ecosystems that provide excellent protection for the microorganisms within. This often makes them difficult to kill, even with chlorine. Basic understanding of biofilm ecosystems and their behavior to chlorine and other oxidizing biocides can offer valuable insight into achieving better microbial control.

A Broward County-owned bridge in Miramar, Florida, which was constructed in 1956 and experienced approximately 1,800 crossings a day, was beginning to show signs of deterioration and structural issues.

On Wednesday, November 19, 2014, at 10:15 a.m. in 2322 Rayburn House Office Building, the Subcommittee on Environment and the Economy will hold a hearing entitled “Cyanotoxins in Drinking Water."
