INDUSTRIAL WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Industrial Boilers-GettyImages-157373983 Protecting Your Plant's Water Systems In Winter: The Role Of Smart Boilers And Leak Detection

Winter in industrial facilities brings more than chilly temperatures; it presents real operational risks. Freezing conditions, sudden cold snaps, and icy environments can put severe stress on a plant’s water systems, boilers, and piping networks.

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

  • Sun-Powered Nanogrid Cleans Fracking Wastewater

    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.

  • Sun-Activated LilyPads Remove Contaminants Without Chemicals

    Puralytics LilyPads are hardly noticeable in the ponds, lakes, and catchment areas where they are deployed. Made of mesh and plastic, the flat, 1-meter diameter disks could even be confused for their plant namesake if not for their white color.

  • Frozen Vegetable Supplier Exceeds Effluent Requirements With MBBR

    A frozen vegetable company was the premier supplier of individually quick-frozen onions, potatoes, roasted potatoes and vegetable blends to large food service companies. At their processing facility, a significant barrier to growth was faced due to an aging wastewater treatment system, which could not treat the anticipated flows that a plant expansion and production increase would generate. 

  • Conducting Accurate Conductivity Measurement In Industrial Applications

    While some water quality parameters may get more attention in industrial settings, few are more critical than conductivity. Understanding conductivity monitoring for industrial applications — where it is needed, how it works, and how to leverage the appropriate instruments and standards in order to pinpoint it — will unlock huge gains in efficiency, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance.

  • Understanding DE Trap Filtration

    Diatomaceous earth (DE) filters, sometimes called Kieselguhr, pressure leaf or primary filters, are one of the most prevalent filters found in modern breweries. Many beers, pasteurized or not, will pass through a DE filter.  

  • How To Improve Water Conservation In Food And Beverage Processing

    The production of food and beverage products in the U.S. accounts for around one-third of the total freshwater use of the country. While it is unimaginable to consume so much water just for yourself, industrial and agricultural applications are on a scale of their own. At the rate we are going, water demand is not going to slow down anytime soon. Water supply, on the other hand, is going in the other direction. 

WATER AND WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE POWER GENERATION INDUSTRY

  • Design-Build Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) System — New Harquahala Generating Project

    The New Harquahala Generating Project serves as a power and electrical wholesaler in the Southwestern United States. To fill the need for growing energy consumption in the region, this facility was built to provide power to the area.

  • 4 Safety Considerations For Anyone Storing, Handling, or Transporting Substances

    Substances regulated or substances unregulated may ultimately impact the environment, health, and water supply of others. The following safety considerations are advised for those who store, handle, or transport potentially dangerous substances.

  • Achieving Ultrapure Water

    It may sound intimidating, but water that has been treated to “ultrapure” condition is more than necessary in many applications. This highly-cleansed product is a fundamental part of many industrial operations, from the medicine we need to get well to the power we rely on in our daily lives. But, as the name implies, it’s no small task to get average influent to the ultrapure level.

    Contamination of circuit boards can bring about severe degradation of insulation resistance and dielectric strength. Cleanliness of completed circuit boards is, therefore, of vital interest. For those companies who have established circuit board cleaning procedures, the MIL Spec P-28809 has been used as a guideline for control. Now a simple "on line" test for the relative measurement of ionic contamination has been developed.
