6 Things You Should Know About Legionella
Just last August, about 120 people in the South Bronx were infected with Legionnaires’ Disease and 12 people died. At the time, up to 5 cooling towers in the area tested positive for Legionella, a fatal bacteria that grows in warm, damp environments and can spread once contaminated water has become aerosolized and the vapor is inhaled. In this post, we’ll be discussing where ...

Learning to Live With Biofilm: The Challenge of an Effective Biofilm Control Program
The organism always wins. This is the challenge of biofilm control. Microbial biofouling and its root cause, biofilm, cannot be totally prevented, at least for a practical length of time in industrial settings. We have many approaches to keep it at bay but it will always be with us. In industrial water treatment, our goal is to keep biofouling under control. We should target treatments that ...

Self Cleaning Screen Filter for Cooling Tower
A cooling tower is a heat exchange device that transfers process waste heat to the atmosphere through the process of water evaporation, helping to regulate the temperatures of various systems. It is commonly used in power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, and food processing plants. A critical component of cooling towers is the self-cleaning screen filter, which prevents the buildup ...

How a Recycling Water System Gives Food and Beverage Companies a Reliable Water Source
If there’s one thing that’s true about the food and beverage industry, it’s that companies need a reliable water source to operate successfully. Food and beverage brands cannot exist without water, and that reality is apparent when considering the amount of water this industry uses. This makes it important for food and beverage companies to implement a water recycling system ...

UF Membrane Technology
UF Membrane Technology Ultrafiltration (UF) is a variety of membrane filtration in which forces, such as pressure or concentration gradients, cause separation through the semi-permeable membrane. High molecular weight suspended solids and solutes remain in the so-called retentate while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane in the permeate (filtrate). The pore size of ...

How is Reverse Osmosis Desalination Used in Tertiary Sewage Treatment Applications?
Salts and other dissolved solids can be pretty tricky to remove from wastewater streams. Standard filtration doesn’t really do anything about dissolved solids and neither does coagulation or sedimentation. They might manage to remove some, but in situations where total dissolved solids (TDS) are particularly high, those sorts of treatments do not lower TDS enough to be compliant or to reuse ...

Benefits of Electrocoagulation for Hotel Grey water Reuse
Most summers, my family takes a week-long vacation in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We typically stay in a oceanside hotel, and we spend all day, every day out on the beach under the sun. By the time we come in for the day for dinner, we’re covered in salt and sunscreen from head to toe and in desperate need of a shower. Showering is an event. There’s six of us plus any ...

Case Study: Iron Foundry
The foundry recycles engine blocks to make iron pipe. They have a 350-gpm closed loop water reuse system that is used to cool the molds as part of the manufacturing process. The facility was using a coagulant and a flocculant to try and reduce the solids carryover from their clarifier. The solids in the reuse water were building up in their system filters causing intermittent downtime (downtime ...

Industrial Cooling Tower Screen Maintenance
Water towers are critical pieces of infrastructure for any industrial facility. While their purpose is essential to the efficiency and efficacy of any operation, downtime for maintenance can impact both of these goals, as well as your bottom line. However, with the best cooling tower screens, you can mitigate downtime for repairs and reduce, if not eliminate, the amount of time and resources ...
