MECO Incorporated - A Grundfos Company articles
In 2013 the US Navy through the Office of Naval Research and Naval Facilities Engineering Command contracted MECO to design and develop two models of advanced shipboard desalination units that, among other things, would be completely autonomous. The complexity and rigors of seawater desalination unit operations meant that the machines would have to recognize internal process parameters as well as outside environmental influences and adapt to changing conditions such that the sa

Pure water isn’t just necessary for our personal health and the health of communities. It’s a vital ingredient in the production of our foods, beverages, and medicines. It plays an important role in manufacturing, fuel, and power generation. It even plays a part in national security. However, strains on natural water sources pose a threat to all of the industries, institutions, and individuals that rely on pure water. Reverse osmosis is one of many purification technologies that p
Big Data is playing a transformative role in most modern industries, proving to have a significant impact in the water purification sector. While the biopharmaceutical industry is continuing to ramp up production in 2021, especially for the manufacture of Covid-19 related products like vaccines, vials, syringes, and personal protective equipment (PPE), high purity water systems are increasingly in more demand. With compressed time schedules, it is imperative that biopharm manufacturers h
As temperatures and populations increase in tandem, water scarcity poses a threat to U.S. power stations still relying on local resources for electricity generation. Adopting sustainable water solutions is a critical step towards hardening the nation’s power against the challenges posed by strained water supplies. Energy sector stakeholders who invest in these solutions can expect the following benefits.
A Sustainable Source of Freshwater for Electricity Gen

OFFSHORE INDUSTRY NEEDS FOR POTABLE WATER
Offshore platforms are located in some of the most remote, inhospitable environments on the planet. At any given moment, more than two hundred people may be living and working on a platform, each requiring gallons of potable water for diet and sanitation. Freshwater is also required for operations aboard a platform. In fact, the main ingredient in most oil and gas industry operations is freshwater, but shipping this inva
Water purification is a critical and complex process in industrial manufacturing operations. It can be accompanied by substantial costs and impacts to the environment. MECO engineers have been finding solutions to these unique challenges for over 90 years, with an uncompromising attention to detail and a commitment to making pure water that’s better for business and the environment. To improve the water purification process and enhance the quality of our services, o<
As water supplies around the world become more strained, companies are turning their attention to water recovery as an integral part of their processes. When companies choose to take control of their resources through sustainable reuse practices, they gain several advantages.
SECURE FUTURE WATER SUPPLY
In the U.S., the water stress ratio – a measure of the total freshwater withdrawals to total renewable supply in a given area – i
Bottled water keeps us hydrated, provides relief in the aftermath of disasters and so much more. Because bottled water is such an ever-present part of modern life, it is good to be informed about where your water comes from and how it is purified. So what’s on your bottle water label, and what does it mean? Let’s dive in.
WHAT BOTTLED WATER LABELS MEANSPRING WATER
Spring water flows from a natural underground water source. It is
The oil and gas industry relies heavily on freshwater throughout its operations. Water is used in drilling wells, refining and processing oil and gas, and even producing electricity for some operations. Offshore platforms depend on water for cooking, drinking, and bathing as well. However, fresh water is often in short supply in the areas where operators need it most.
Embracing, not avoiding, the challenges of the environment, MECO engineers the world’s most innovative, sustainable and trusted water purification solutions. The world depends on people who depend on MECO. Our customers are shaping the future, and they require a sure source of pure water, in biotech labs and high output drug manufacturing facilities, in offshore oil exploration and production, in food & beverage manufacturing plants and in places where freedom is at risk.
