Hydrocarbon in Water Monitors using Fluorescence
Hydrocarbon in Water Monitors using Fluorescence are capable of detecting hydrocarbons as low as 5 Parts per Billion and as high as 10,000 Parts per Million depending on the application. Because only the target hydrocarbons will fluoresce, these monitors have no significant affect due to water turbidity (rust, dirt, gas bubbles, soot, etc.). Fluorescence monitors provide a measurement that is ...

Nestle and water conservation
Is our world facing a larger environmental problem than climate change? Well, Nestle’s chairman, Peter Brabeck thinks so. According to Brabeck, water stress should be the world’s “first priority”, and according to the United Nations; one in three of the world’s population live in water stressed areas, and this is set to increase to one in two by ...

Singapore’s used water underground infrastructure to be monitored with Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology by fibrisTerre
Singapore’s Deep Tunnel Sewerage System The Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) is a key part of the long-term Singapore’s used water system, which comprises a network of link sewers leading to two major tunnels (Phase 1 & 2) crisscrossing Singapore with three large water reclamation plants (WRP), as well as outfall pipes. DTSS uses deep tunnels to convey used water entirely by ...

SNAP – Misconnected plumbing and water pollution
In the UK, approximately 300,000 homes have misconnected plumbing, sending grey and foul water directly into streams and rivers instead of sewage treatment works, polluting the waterways and damaging aquatic ecosystems. “The water industry estimates that misconnections cause a daily sewage discharge to streams and rivers equivalent to all the foul waste produced by a town the size of ...

Evaluating groundwater/surfacewater transition zones in ecological risk assessments
Currently, there is a common perception that the discharge of contaminated groundwater to a surfacewater body does not pose an ecological risk if contaminant concentrations in surface-water samples are below analytical detection limits or at very low concentrations. The transition zone represents a unique and important ecosystem that exists between surface-water and the underlying ground-water, ...

Monitoring hydrocarbons in Bilge water - Case study
The Situation Various processes onboard ships, such as machinery wash-down, maintenance, and leakage, generate oily wastewater. This contaminated water flow collects in the bilge of the ship. Marine diesel, lubricating oils, grease, as well as other contaminants may be present in bilge water. The bilge water is discharged overboard, with oil and grease concentrations in the discharged water ...

A Guide to Oil in Water Monitoring for Environmental Compliance
Applications for industrial oil in water monitoring can vary greatly. In upstream and midstream oil and gas production applications, monitoring separation efficiencies is key to optimize production rates, preventative maintenance, chemical use, flow, and environmental compliance. Separated water from the oil is called produced water and it must be cleaned of oil before disposal or re-injection. ...

Shrinking Beer’s Water Footprint
Many strategies can help, from improving suppliers’ irrigation techniques to adopting waste-to-energy solutions Much has been made of recent beer brewing competitions that have used highly treated wastewater to brew fine craft beer, a practice that may be accepted in the not-so-distant future. But there are many other strategies breweries already are using to become more water-efficient. ...

Ensuring Water Quality in Africa
Water is essential for life, and “access to safe water is a fundamental human and, therefore, a basic human right.” With this statement and his address on World Water Day in 2001, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan put a spotlight on what continues to be a global problem: clean water. This year completes the UN “Water for Life” international decade for action, ...
