The Puron Plus membrane bioreactor (MBR) system is a skid-mounted packaged plant that provides customers with a full scope of supply from prescreening and biological treatment through to the final membrane clarification step. The Puron Plus is designed for both…
The Optisound VU3X Series Continuous Ultrasonic Level transmitter (photo) provides a reliable, repeatable and highly accurate (0.15%) continuous level measurement of liquids. It is capable of liquid level measurement to ranges up to 30 ft. with a 2-wire 4 –…
Last month, this firm launched a new generation of gel-type, cation-exchange resins for industrial water treatment. Lewatit MonoPlus S 108 and S 108 H have optimized leaching behavior, which is an important quality characteristic regarding the effectiveness and commercial efficiency…
Water-supply issues are emerging as a national concern with certain sectors coming under increasing scrutiny. This is certainly the case with the ethanol industry. State discharge regulations dictate that plant designs incorporate technological solutions to minimize water use. These designs…
A research team from the University of South Australia (Adelaide; www.unisa.edu.au) and the East China Normal University (Shanghai; www.ecnu.edu.cn) has developed a capacitive deionization technology (CDI) that uses graphene-like nanoflakes as electrodes, instead of conventionally used activated carbon (AC) materials.…
A desalination system developed by Watervap LLC (Marble Hill, Ga.; www.h2ovap.com) separates saltwater of any concentration into highly purified water and dry solid minerals with high efficiency. The company’s Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) process represents a low-cost alternative to brine…
BioAir Solutions Clean the air from wastewater treatment plants without carbon Using its proprietary EcoBase synthetic media, this firm has developed a line of odor control products (photo) that remove both organic and inorganic odorous compounds from the airstreams of…
Question: How are hydrocarbons best removed from water? Answer: First, the type of hydrocarbons present must be identified. Typically, the hydrocarbons in question are in the form of oil or an oil-like substance. In that case, the miscibility of oil…
Athough the municipal water demand is considerably greater than that of industry, many of the municipal needs are addressed by relatively basic technologies, while industrial requirements can only be met with advanced treatment options. And, as industrial water demands continue…
A next-generation, carbon-enhanced membrane-bioreactor (MBR) system improves treatment of industrial wastewater with high organic content and containing compounds that resist microbial breakdown. The system allows economic reuse of wastewater or discharge to meet stringent environmental standards. The new MBR, dubbed…
