Regenerated Resins

As populations surge and industries expand, the demand for clean water is reaching unprecedented levels. However, the conventional approach in the industry, relying on single-use ion exchange resins, carries a substantial environmental cost. In the current linear model, significant quantities of virgin resources are consumed, greenhouse gases are emitted, and landfills bear the weight of discarded resins. However, with resin regeneration, there is potential for a more sustainable way forward. Resins revitalized – a greener horizon Resin regeneration is the process of rejuvenating exhausted water treatment resins, extending their lifespan,…

Water Monitoring: Essential for Sustainability

eawater

Water is a crucial element for sustaining life. The swift expansion of population, urbanization, irrigation, and industrialization has exerted immense pressure on water resources. The combined effect of escalating usage of this invaluable natural resource has given rise to water scarcity in numerous regions across the globe with several countries facing difficult challenges. In India, almost 44% of the population is facing extreme water stress, reported by the Niti Aayog. Moreover, climate change has contributed to alterations in the hydrological cycle within the nation. Therefore, safeguarding this scarce resource requires…

Urban and Industrial Sustainable Water Management: A Collective Responsibility

eawater

Introduction: The finite nature of water resources and their susceptibility to pollution, contamination, and climatic influences underscore the pressing need for strategic interventions to ensure sustainable usage. The Sustainable Development Goal’s target 6.4, recognizes this challenge and demands increased water efficiency which is a way of easing water demand pressure/water user conflict by more effectively utilizing every unit of existing supply. Urban areas, in particular, grapple with burgeoning demands, prompting the imperative adoption of water conservation practices capable of reducing consumption by up to one-third, concurrently mitigating surface and groundwater…

CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS: A WASTEWATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY AND ITS SCOPE IN INDIAN AGRICULTURE

eawater

By Rama Pal, S. Islam, M. Muruganandam, Vibha Singhal, Trisha Roy and Uday Mandal ICAR-Indian Institute of Soil and Water Conservation IntroductionToday we face challenges of water scarcity, wastewater discharge, landscape limitation and ecological conservation. As per the CPCB report 2021, the total wastewater generation in India is 72,368 MLD out of which 72% is discharged untreated into surface water bodies. The sustainable solution to this problem could be innovative water management strategies that integrate technology with landscape design and enhances ecosystem services. Constructed wetlands(CWs) are such treatment systems that…

LOW COST OF MLD/ZLD TREATMENT ACHIEVED THROUGH INNOVATIVE BRINE CONCENTRATION MEMBRANES HELPING THE TEXTILE SECTOR

eawater

By Tina L. Arrowood, Principal Research Scientist, DuPont Water Solutions, USA and Mahesh Kulkarni, Technical Service and Development Scientist, DuPont Water Solutions, India EXTENDED ABSTRACT For maximizing wastewater reuse and preventing wastewater discharge, zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) is acknowledged for its benefits in protecting fresh surface waters. Unfortunately, it is typically determined to be too expensive to be practical. A more realistic and cost-effective method is a hybrid approach of minimal-liquid discharge (MLD), using reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, to minimize the volume of wastewater prior to thermal ZLD treatment. To comply…

WASTE WATER IS A RESOURCE

eawater

By Mandar Vaijanapurkar In some cases, energy production has now reached a level where the energy recovered from waste water treatment process not only ensures the plant’s own needs, but also covers the energy needs for drinking, water production and so on. The worldwide consumption of drinking water is doubling every 20 years. At the same time, due to rapid industrialization and exponential growth in population, massive or huge amounts of wastewater is being discharged daily into our environment. However, only close to half of all wastewater is being treated…
