From 1-4 February we were at the AWWA/AMTA Membrane Technology Conference & Exposition in San Antonio, Texas. There were over 90 exhibitors and 140 papers presented. There was even a session in Spanish, where Fernando del Vigo presented a paper entitled ‘What’s New in RO Membrane Cleaning? Micro-Bubbles and High Ionic Strength Effervescent Cleaners Enhance RO Membrane Foulant Removal’. The conference was attended by over 1,000 people, making for another successful AMTA event.
At the end of April we’ll be at another AMTA event, this one focused on the oil industry. Due to be held in Houston, the theme of the AMTA/SCMA Joint Technology Transfer Workshop is Treating Non-Conventional Water Supplies Using Membrane Technology. I’ll be presenting a new paper – ‘Practical Examples of New Ways to Clean Membranes Fouled by Non-Conventional Water Sources’, which features three case studies from the oil industry. I’ll be explaining our new cleaning techniques, using effervescing reagents and inducted air to create microbubbles to enhance high ionic strength osmotic flush cleaning, and outlining the results of actual on-site cleans.
San Marcos, CA—August 11, 2022—With the global tightening of natural gas supplies and prices on the rise, engineers responsible for the cost of plant energy systems and equipment will discover that the compact precision FS10i Series Natural Gas Flow Meters from Fluid Components International (FCI) helps them control their energy costs by measuring fuel gases more accurately to optimize heating equipment and minimize energy consumption.
The FS10i Flow Meter Series is a dependable, economical and easy...
Last week we had our kick off meeting between REICON Wärmetechnik und Wasserchemie Leipzig GmbH, LAGOTEC GmbH and Termanox BV in Magdeburg, Germany. This joint project is funded by the European Union and the federal state of Saxony in order to promote innovative techniques and companies. LAGOTEC will apply their specialized know-how and technology to cultivate and monitor biofilms to evaluate the effectiveness of TERMANOX products, REICON, the initiator of this project is a specialized water treatment company....
Plant engineers and maintenance staff responsible for ensuring the reliable operation of positive air flow pressure and exhaust ventilation systems for clean rooms, labs, analyzer houses or production areas will find the FLT93F Flow Switch from Fluid Components International (FCI) provides them a highly sensitive and reliable solution to monitor and alarm if their system is degrading, not operating to specifications, or has shut-down.
Positive air flow pressure and exhaust ventilation systems are designed to...
One person`s wastewater is another person`s treasure. A new Stanford University study paves the way to mining sewage for valuable materials used in fertilizers and batteries that could someday power smartphones and airplanes. The analysis, published recently in ACS ES&T Engineering, reveals how to optimize electrical processes for transforming sulfur pollution, and could help lead to affordable, renewable energy-powered wastewater treatment that creates drinkable water.
"We are always looking for ways to...
In the last decade, political-legal, technological and economic factors have allowed the water treatment sector to be digitized to obtain a better yield in the production of treated water. The increase in standards presupposes the existence of an objective and safe measurement system.
Development of instrumentation equipment – sensorsNowadays, it is recommended to implement continuous measurement systems using sensors to collect information in real time and act or accommodate each situation. Through these...
