Measuring CO2 to Optimise the Bulk Storage of Food

Meeting the food requirements of a growing global population is becoming increasingly difficult. Despite the need for additional food, it is estimated that 50-60% of grain is lost after harvesting, at a cost of about $1 trillion per year.1 One of the major reasons for lost grain is spoilage due to mould or insect infestation during storage.2 To provide a ...

Sedimentation and Subsurface Water Storage Systems

When engineers and review authorities first encounter our Rainstore3 Subsurface Water Storage System, they will frequently ask how the storage chamber is maintained, especially for the removal of sediment. The structural nature of Rainstore3 is different from all other storage devices, employing a series of closely spaced, hollow, loadbearing columns. These columns make it impossible to ...

Modelling of water consumption in a spent fuel storage facility

In current practice, spent fuel is most commonly stored in a special basin of distilled or demineralised water for a required time period to reduce the amount of heat generated by radioactive decay to a level that can permit reprocessing. The processes taking place inside the spent fuel induce complex processes in the storage basin. The loss of water from the storage basin by means of ...

Reclaimed Water Aquifer Storage and Recovery: Potential Changes in Water Quality

Aquifer storage recovery (ASR) operations recharge and recover water through the same well or wells, creating a “bubble” of stored water that typically mixes minimally with ambient groundwater once the storage zone has been developed. Because ASR recharge water does not flow through a vadose zone and is not drawn through an aquifer to a distant point of withdrawal, changes in water quality that ...

Biodegradation of artificial monolayers applied to water storages to reduce evaporative loss

Repeat applications of an artificial monolayer to the interfacial boundary layer of large agricultural water storages during periods of high evaporative demand remains the most commercially feasible water conservation strategy. However, the interfacial boundary layer (or microlayer) is ecologically distinct from subsurface water, and repeat monolayer applications may adversely affect ...

Bacteriological assessment of aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) water in southwest coastal Bangladesh

Safe drinking water is scarce in southwest coastal Bangladesh. Harvested rainwater and rain-fed pond water are the main sources of drinking water for people living in this area. Both government and non-government organizations are promoting aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) schemes to provide safe drinking water for this population. This study assessed the bacteriological quality of both ...

How Seismic Use Group Classification affects your Water Storage Tank

When purchasing a bolted steel tank or a welded steel water storage tank, one of the key criteria determining the design parameters of the tank is the Seismic Use Group (SUG) classification. The term Seismic Use Group is essentially the same as the terms Occupancy Category and Risk Category used by the International Building Code (IBC) and the ...

Microbiological quality of chlorinated water after storage in ceramic pots

Household water treatment with sodium hypochlorite has been shown to reduce self-reported diarrheal disease in developing countries. Reported hypochlorite use, time since treatment, total chlorine residual (TCR), and E. coli concentration results from 589 household surveys in rural Kenya were analyzed to quantify the effect of exceeding recommended 24 hour post-treatment water storage time ...

Impact of sunlight/dark storage on natural spring water bottled in polyethylene terephthalate

The effect of two environmental variables, ultraviolet radiation and external air temperature, on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottled water was investigated over 100 days. The high pressure liquid chromatography results showed the migration of carbonyl compounds (acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and acetone) from PET bottles into water over 3 months. Storage of PET bottled water enhanced the ...
