Drinking Water Week reminds us of `real and lasting value` of water systems
As Drinking Water Week continues, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) joins water professionals across North America in highlighting the importance of investing in our water infrastructure. As individuals and communities, today we demand a solid “return on investment” for each dollar we spend. That’s exactly what’s earned by investing in U.S. water systems. In fact, a 2008 study by the U.S. Conference of Mayors showed that for every dollar invested in public water and sewer infrastructure and services, approximately $8.97 is added to the national economy. “One silver lining in these ... |

Nanotech for water can help business innovate and grow, says scientist
Developing world businesses must invest in nanotech research and development for clean water to stay ahead, says Mohamed Abdel-Mottaleb. Nanotechnology — technology that works on the scale of less than 100 nanometers — already has applications in water purification, ranging from nanomembranes for large-scale desalination plants to magnetic nanoparticles that remove pollutants from household supplies (see `Nanotechnology for clean water: Facts and figures`). In the face of a threatening global water crisis, nanotechnology for clean water is changing the business landscape in both the developed ... |

New ProMinent Beta/4 and Beta/5 Solenoid Metering Pump - Efficiency in Universal Applications
With newly developed electronics, ProMinent will be presenting for the first time its redesigned Beta/ 4 and Beta/ 5 solenoid metering pump at the ACHEMA trade fair. Its efficient operating principle means lower energy and chemical costs. Compared to the previous model, the new Beta/ 4 and Beta/ 5b pump enables more accurate adaptation to external signal generators. This means easier and more accurate adaptation of chemical usage to actual requirements, therefore reducing the impact on the environment. Compared to the predecessor, the operational and energy efficiency of the pump has been increased by approx. 10 percent. The Beta pump can be easily readjusted during operation.
