AERMOD is widely used for analyzing ambient air pollutant concentrations and is applied to buoyant and neutrally-buoyant releases. In AERMOD View, the Pollutant Type list is accessible through the Control Pathway's Pollutant / Averaging options. Many pollutant types serve as labels with no chemical transformations; however, certain pollutant names or combinations influence how AERMOD computes ...
In a wastewater evaporator, it’s easy to focus on the heat source, tank materials, or evaporation rates. But one small component often determines whether the system runs smoothly or experiences costly downtime: the level sensor. By monitoring liquid levels inside the tank, sensors keep the system balanced, prevent overfills, and protect equipment from damage. A level sensor measures how ...
Introduction When selecting a wastewater evaporator, most buyers naturally focus on evaporation rates or operating costs. But there is another factor that quietly determines how long your investment will last: the material of construction. The alloys used in the tank and wetted parts can mean the difference between reliable service for decades, or expensive corrosion failures after only a few ...
Urban township projects require integrated water management, subsurface protection and long-term durability to support residential, commercial, and utility networks. In the TATA Township Project in Khopoli, Maharashtra, Ocean HDPE Liner (1 mm) was deployed as a geomembrane barrier to support water containment, drainage control, and subgrade protection, safeguarding reservoirs, drainage networks, ...
In the high-stakes methane mitigation environment, the effectiveness of LDAR hinges on skilled operators and certified procedures. As regulatory enforcement under EPA Appendix K intensifies, the industry is transitioning from point-and-shoot detection to standardized, high-precision practice. This overview emphasizes OGI certification, CH4 plume science, and camera technology as core enablers of ...
The MPC-Buoy ultrasonic algae control system can appear to operate normally while transducer biofouling silently disables treatment. Algae blooms and rising treatment costs can follow, even when status indicators show green.Early signs of transducer biofoulingAlgae blooms return in the reservoir despite the system reporting operationalWater appears clear at the buoy but blooms persist elsewhere ...
The Remediation Industry Problem The Global Contamination Challenge Over 2 million contaminated sites exist globally, and we continue polluting more sites than we clean up. This disparity between the problems we face and our ability to solve them through innovation creates what I call an ingenuity gap. The gap persists not because solutions do not exist, but because industry practices lag ...

Business intelligence for scientists: more than data dashboards When people talk about business intelligence tools, they often think of sales teams or finance departments. But what if you're a scientist managing complex environmental projects? Scientists running consulting or engineering firms face a different challenge. You need clarity, not complexity. You want to manage time, budgets, and ...
Discover the top water tech trials bottlenecks that derail innovation, and learn practical ways to avoid them. This is the second of a three-part blog series on how the Trial Reservoirs Initiative is helping accelerate tech adoption in the water sector and beyond. Want to steal our model? Find out how in our first blog, here. The global water industry is experiencing a boom in tech trials ...
For engineering consultants specifying equipment adjacent to residential or ecologically sensitive sites in 2026, the noise and dust suppression architecture of a high-end asphalt batch plant — specifically vacuum-sealed tower enclosures and advanced pulse-jet baghouse filtration — determines whether high-intensity production schedules remain uninterrupted or accumulate the public ...

In many operations, output is tracked closely, but the definition of quality is often left unanswered. That gap is where inconsistency begins, and when bale weights vary from one cycle to the next, the impact extends beyond the production floor into measurable financial loss across labor, hauling, and commodity value. This second week of Harmony's How-To Tuesdays series tackles this important ...
In 2013, Bart Phillips attended the Recycled Materials Association convention in Orlando with a specific goal: to evaluate a portable twin-shaft shredder recently introduced to the market. An incidental encounter with ZB North America’s THOR mobile hammermill led to a demonstration that transformed Dominion Metal Recycling’s scrap-processing approach. The mobile hammermill proved capable of ...

Thermal pasteurisation remains the standard against which non-thermal methods are measured. For many ingredients and products it is the most suitable, efficient, and cost-effective solution, and it can be complemented by newer heat sources such as ohmic heating and direct steam injection.Non-thermal processing techniques have progressed, with the most common alternatives being high-pressure ...
Date: 2017 Business: Kaipara Kumara Location: New Zealand “Kaipara Kumara has been operating since 1970. We operate five days a week, dispatching product to our customers seven days a week. In the future, we knew we’d be wanting more throughput over the whole production facility. We needed to do some work on our washing side, and initially we were only planning to replace a certain ...
The construction sector in Indonesia is currently experiencing a period of rapid and sustained development. National strategic projects and urban housing demands require a steady supply of high-quality building materials. Therefore, selecting a reliable concrete mixer in Indonesia is a critical decision for every local contractor. This article explores the most efficient mixing solutions for the ...
Reliability and effectiveness key reasons for repeat purchase Date: 2010 Subject: Reliability and effectiveness key reasons for repeat purchase Business: Stoll Frères Location: Stoll, Switzerland Seven years ago, Stoll Frères (Stoll) did extensive research to choose the supplier of their new wash line, including visits to other packhouses around Europe. Above all, Stoll wanted to ...
EMT Global reports on a case study of a Gas-Dry installation on a 345 kV critical transmission bus for a Midwestern utility, designed to evaluate in-field moisture reduction under real-world operating conditions where outages are rare and energized work, including SF6 testing, is not permitted.Project OverviewA major Midwestern utility deployed the EMT Gas-Dry unit on a mission-critical asset ...
Power-to-Gas (PtG) processes are central to the defossilisation of global economies and, in particular, the chemical industry. The intermittency of renewable energy sources necessitates long-term chemical storage of electricity through dynamically operated PtG processes. In CO2 methanation, hydrogen and carbon dioxide are converted to methane, synthetic natural gas. The dynamic operation of this ...
Industrial cooling towers are essential for heat rejection in many facilities but create conditions that favor Legionella proliferation. An integrated risk management program is required to maintain safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance, combining design assessment, water treatment, monitoring, maintenance, automation, and training.Understanding Legionella in Cooling TowersLegionella ...
For years, the plastic recycling industry has been stuck in a frustrating cycle. We crushed bottles, washed containers, and melted down jugs. But what about the other plastics? The films, the multi-layers, the dirty trays? Mechanical recycling has always hit a wall with these "difficult" materials. Enter Brussels. The EU is currently overhauling its environmental rulebook with two heavy-hitting ...
