Monitoring-Polluted-Highway-Runoff

Polluted water from motorways and highways is a significant environmental concern, contributing to the degradation of aquatic ecosystems and posing risks to human health. When vehicles travel on these roads, they deposit various pollutants such as oil, heavy metals, and tyre particles. Rainwater washes these contaminants into nearby waterways, resulting in polluted runoff. This runoff can then lead to the deterioration of water quality, harm aquatic life, and disrupt natural habitats. CLAMP-ON ULTRASONIC FLOW MEASUREMENT– AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION One innovative solution to monitor and manage this runoff is clamp-on ultrasonic…

Industrial-Wastewater-Treatment

Every company’s wastewater stream is unique, based on their industry, inputs, outputs, processes, volumes, discharge parameters, and seasonal variables, as well as federal EPA, state, and local regulations. Consequently, their wastewater treatment often must be tailored to their specific needs to avoid violations and fines and reliably remain in compliance. Industrial wastewater is often contaminated with a wide range of pollutants, including suspended solids, heavy metals, and organic compounds. Many treatment methods require multiple steps, a variety of chemicals, or extensive labor to achieve even marginally acceptable results. Additionally, the…

Proper-Polymer-System-Selection

By Del Williams, Technical Writer Based in Torrance, California To help comply with EPA wastewater regulations and reclaim valuable resources, chemical polymers are added to industrial clarifiers, settling ponds, and other wastewater equipment at various stages of treatment. These polymers promote flocculation, a process in which small particles clump together into larger particles called flocs, which settle to the bottom. The clarified water can then be discharged for re-use, disposal, or further treatment. The problem with this highly effective and economical method of removing suspended solids from wastewater is that…

Addressing-Water-Scarcity

By Subhash Sethi, Chairman, SPML Infra Limited Water is the lifeblood of social and industrial progress, yet India faces a severe and escalating water crisis. Despite having 18% of the world’s population, the country possesses only 4% of global freshwater resources, leading to a significant water imbalance. This challenge is further intensifying due to rapid urbanization, continuous population growth, rising industrial expansion, and climate change events, which impact rainfall patterns and resulting in water scarcity. India is also the largest consumer of groundwater, extracting approximately 230 billion cubic meters annually.…

The problem Recently, a local water activist brought to public attention a disturbing phenomenon occurring in the Yamuna River in Delhi, India: vast quantities of white foam were polluting the sacred waterway. The source of this foam was traced not to a single plant, but to multiple municipal wastewater treatment plant along the river. While these plants were treating the water, the discharge process itself was contributing to the problem. Treated water, flowing through channels at high rates, intersected with the city drains at points where there were steep falls.…

Turning-seawater-into-gold

ABSTRACT This article explores an innovative and economical greenhouse technique that utilizes solar radiation and wind to simulate an artificial hydrologic cycle for harvesting pure water and minerals from seawater. The method employs simple and sustainable technology to evaporate seawater, condense the vapor into pure water, and collect precipitated minerals for further processing. Compared to conventional desalination plants, this approach offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for addressing global water and mineral needs. The article outlines the methodology, theoretical foundation, financial analysis, and schematic design of this technique. INTRODUCTION…
