Cleanup underway for nearly 3M-gallon saltwater spill in ND
Cleanup is underway after nearly 3 million gallons of brine, a salty, toxic byproduct of oil and natural gas production, leaked from a pipeline in western North Dakota, the largest spill of its kind in the state since the current energy boom began. The full environmental impact of the spill, which contaminated two creeks, might not be clear for months. Some previous saltwater spills have taken ...
TOC analysis for pure water applications
In industry, pure water and ultra pure water are used as raw material, auxiliary or operating material. Its quality is of great importance, since any contamination may result in a shutdown of the entire production facility or in discharge of pollutant / clean water.

Carbon dioxide detection in industrial plants: Measuring range 0 – 5,00 % or 0 – 2,00 %
For martians – provided they are existing – carbon dioxide atmosphere might be their natural habitat. We earthlings can only tolerate low concentrations of this gas. It is true that we are using the special properties of CO2 for many purposes, but in concentrations above 5000 ppm it can be hazardous to our health. Therefore it must be monitored. In areas that are rarely accessed such ...
Landfill could be one of last to tap methane for power

The little-known source of electricity has fed California's power grid for decades, but a groundbreaking Thursday for yet another trash-driven power project at a massive Orange County landfill could be one of the last on the books. With the ...
Eco-design for flat screens should ensure quick dismantling for maximum resource recovery
Flat screen televisions and computer monitors should be designed so they can be quickly dismantled for recycling, a recent study says. The researchers calculated that in order to ensure the recycling process remains economically viable, it must be possible to disassemble small screens in less than 11 minutes. Good design could lower the costs of recycling and enable near-total recovery of ...
