It’s becoming increasingly difficult to dispose of biosolids (sewage sludge) in a safe and cost-effective way. The Dryclone® Air Drying System offers an efficient, safe, and low-cost solution that’s aligned with the future of biosolids usage. The Dryclone efficiently removes moisture content from biosolids, reducing the weight by at least 70% and optimizing the product for energy ...
Micro Pulse LiDAR remote sensing data are used to calculate a highly accurate Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) height to improve plume models that help assess emissions sources. Poor air quality is a growing health issue that has a negative impact on the quality of life for millions of people. To help alleviate this serious problem, scientists at Bubbleology Research International (BRI) have ...
Data Centers consume 1-1.5 percent of energy today worldwide. It is predicted that by 2030, it will grow up to 3-13%. As energy consumption rises, so do the costs. To prevent unnecessary expenses, proper environmental monitoring best practices should be applied. ASHRAE have developed guidelines for the data center that include strategies for the best practices that reduce energy consumption. ...
To ensure that a Data Center is functioning properly, it is important that the room temperature is regulated. Excessive heat can put a Data Center at risk of failure. Failures lead to downtime, which leads to lost data and revenue. Based on a Gartner study, it is estimated that the cost of one hour of downtime can amount up to $336,000 per hour or $5,600 per minute. Maintaining the Data Center ...
Bowen Island Municipality’s Cove Bay Water System (CBWS) treats surface water from Grafton Lake to drinking water. Historically, the lake water was treated with hypochlorite addition however this treatment is insufficient to meet the Canadian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines (CDWQG) for several parameters including protozoa, turbidity, manganese and colour. ...
Cuf was sole sourced for a drinking water facility as it had unmatched purification performance and was the only viable solution for the trend of stricter regulations for reductions in color, THMs, and liquid waste. Cuf achieves all of these water purification requirements and provides an essentially Zero Liquid Discharge solution. A 1 MGD well has been brought online to reduce the demand on its ...
Purifies Photo-Cat AOP+ technology is an upgrade to traditional AOP. The AOP+® process uses and recovers a true catalyst to generate the highest oxidative potential commercially available, without chemicals. This low energy process destroys the target compounds: 1,4-Dioxane, 1,1-DCE, cVOCs and eliminates the need ...
A water utility in the state of Delaware has potable groundwater wells with high levels of Fe (15 ppm peeks) with a combined flow rate of 1 MGD. The existing biological filter needed replacement due to extensive fouling, cost and excessive liquid waste structure. The well location is at a National Guard Air Force base. The iron needs to be removed in a cost effective manner, with minimal waste ...
In the 1970s, the approach to energy efficiency compromised Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Efforts should concentrate on net-zero energy buildings that do not repeat past mistakes. Forums have discussed sustainable buildings concentrating on energy use. Indoor air quality and its effect on health should factor into building design. IAQ has worked with ventilation standards such as the American Society ...
Flexible membrane liner, also known as HDPE geomembrane liner, is made from about 97% high density polyethylene and about 3% carbon black,adding antioxidant, anti-aging, UV-resistance, and heat stabilizer. All BPM HDPE membrane liner products are in accordance with or exceed GB, GRI and ASTM test standard. The flexible membrane liner is the main lining system of defense for the ...
Continuous Ultra Filtration system has been installed for surface water to potable in the Village of Granisle BC, a remote village located on the shores of Babine Lake in the Northern Interior of British Columbia. The year-round population is approximately 303 people, with fluctuations during tourist season. The system purifies lake water of pathogens, TOC. colour and metals. Weekly DIT is ...
The world is turning more to the digital realm in the new normal. Data centers are multiplying to meet those demands. With more data centers comes the need for more power. Increased power consumption requires regulation of generated heat. Data centers rely mostly on water based cooling and so the water usage effectiveness (WUE) should be considered. Water is often considered ...
Getting the vaccines to their destination in good condition is paramount for a successful immunization campaign. When exposed to an elevated temperature for too long, they lose their potency. For patients with chronic diseases, taking a compromised dosage can be dangerous. Preventing cold chain failures through remote monitoring systems is vital. It can be challenging to know the difference ...
Alarms are a useful feature available for many MadgeTech loggers. Alarms can be used to notify users when user defined conditions are met, such as a reading being outside of a specified threshold. There are three main alarm types that can be used with MadgeTech loggers, the MadgeTech 4 software, and/or the MadgeTech Cloud Service: device (hardware) alarms, software alarms, and cloud alarms. Not ...
When Larry Culp joined GE as chairman and CEO in the fall of 2018, he brought along years of management expertise - and a specific prescription for turning the company around. Culp announced that GE would look to lean, the system of continuous improvement pioneered in Japan in the latter half of the 20th century, which has shown tremendous results in American ...
With the rapidly evolving technologies and tools, it has become even more critical to keep the highly sophisticated machinery and equipment maintained to keep the production smooth. But. Maintenance should not be limited to traditional practices. Like other quality processes in the organization, the maintenance processes also need regular, continuous improvement to cope with the business ...
It was just year ago that we awaited a new decade with excited anticipation.
