5 key performance indicators in reverse osmosis operation
The five most important parameters to be monitored daily are the silt density index (SDI), differential pressure, normalized permeate flow, percent rejection and pressure drop coefficient.
Smarter hydraulic fracturing for better water management
While hydraulic fracturing has cracked open an economic bonanza at the Bakken and dozens of other production sites worldwide, it has also created concerns over its environmental impact.
How to remove odor from tap water ice
Even with antimicrobial surfaces and UV lights, the inside of an ice bin can become the host of a bacterial colony.
What is hydraulic fracturing?
Generally, hydraulic fracturing refers to a process of stimulating tight rock formations, often drilled a mile or more below the earth’s surface, to enable the release and extraction of crude oil and natural gas.
Professor POU/POE: Condensing water vapor from air for drinking and bulk water
Essentially two types of air to water machines exist: those that operate by condensation of water vapor on a lower temperature surface and those that use a concentrated brine solution to absorb the vapor followed by evaporation of water from the brine.
Medium- and low voltage equipment specifiers can adopt digital twin technology to adopt a circular economy approach for sustainable, low-carbon equipment design.
Medium- and low voltage equipment manufacturers can prepare for environmental regulations now by using innovative MV switchgear design that eliminates SF6 use.
