    Membrane Filtration of Produced Water

    As concerns the North Sea wastewater issues (all petroluem types wastewaters) membranes are not considered - as they foul too fast and can't handle the organics. Most processes are either absorbant (betonite) or oxidative - for reduction of THC, BTEX, MEG, heavy metals, Aromatics, aliphatics...

    LNG and Condensate - United States

    We've been demonstrating the reduction of BTEX, MEG and THC on condensate coming from the piping of LNG to shore from the North Sea - but not sure if this is an issue in the United States - as far as the level of contaminant and the ability to discharge to ocean or river (EU Regs). Can someone...

    Looking for Firms Working on Tar Sands Leachate Lagoons

    Good Morning - looking for wastewater treatment firms currently working on treatment of leachate lagoon water from tar sands oil extraction in Alberta and Saskatchewan Canada. Need information on current treatment regimes. Thanks - Dave/Aquatic Technologies

    Low concentration mercury removal from scrubber water

    Electrolytic oxidation can be built to handle the level of mercury. In condensate and Produced water - have taken the mercury - gets caught up with other precipitates and settles out of the water column, down to a few ppb. Wastewater is easier. We've reduced it on municipal Reclaim water in...

    Chlorinated Water from Chlorination Unit content White deposite.

    The fracturing depends on several factors - but primarily - it's the amount of applied current. If your running too high a current - then you need to reduce it to stop the fracturing of the carbonates - sodium hyperchlorit does not take more then about 20amps to get a good production - if...

    Chlorinated Water from Chlorination Unit content White deposite.

    I suspect your using electrolysis to create the sodium hyperchlorate - if so, then the fracturing of calcium carbonate and other calcium containing chemical compositions in the water will create precipitates of calcium - normally on the electrode surface, but also free in the water. You need...

    Nitrates in Water

    Nitrates, according to the medical literature, creates oxygen uptake problems - I've not seen any issues with it involving diabetes. Nitrates are easily removed with carbon filters - like Culligan and others have available at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. There are "whole house" systems that are...

    Fluoride removal

    Hi back....use for fluoride crystals. Boy, that's a new one. I suspect some glass companies might be able to use in various kiln processes - also various chemical manufacturers. However, not sure your going to be able to provide sufficient quantities for them. Glass/artistic pottery - maybe...

    Fluoride removal

    CD - We spoke last week on this fluoride issue - you were going to send me over the analysis - but I have not recieved. Either way - if you would like a sample photo of what the precipitate would look like and the level created - please email me at....aquaticonsult@yahoo.com....or...

    Call for treatment options for pond-to-potable water supply

    I son't see where the pond as potable water source needs to be permitted per se - other then the standard permitting that may be required locally for a pond of "X" size/gallonage. Where the water comes from for the potable water source is immaterial - it's the "post" treatment water for potable...

    Reliable RO plant for high silica groundwater source

    If you can't find the RO process/membrane you want, you might look at electrolytic oxidation to remove the silica/silicates and other minerals before the RO. We ran some tests for National Gypsum - reduced the load from municipal reclaim water by 75% before the R/O. It's simple, rugged, and does...

    removal of flouride

    Looksatstars - can you provide an idea of the flow rate and/or daily demand? Elecrolytic oxidation will precipitate flouride out the water - regardless of level - systems can be designed for batch treatment or flow-through. The precipitate can be captured using periodic bag, cartridge, or DE...

    Commercial Greenhouse Heating

    Good Evening - I'm looking for a good commercial greenhouse growers forum - need to ascertain average heating cost, using NG/propane or electric heat for commercial greenhouse growers during the winter. Anyone have a good forum that has national participation? Thanks - Dave Aquatic Technologies

    cooling tower make up water - ammonia presence

    Are you sure it's NH4? Ammonium is hard process for biological processes to convert to NH3 (ammonia) - then to nitrate. Depending on the volume per day of make-up water, NH4 could require a very large aerobic biological filtration system. If NH3 - that's much easier - However, you need to...

    USDA Organic Program - Final Interim Report

    Hope you all are looking at the Interium Report that just went in for final approval - especially those of you who work in aquacultural rearing or agricultural wastewater treatment - as this is going to have some major impacts on federal hatcheries as well as private rearing facilites - as well...

    Refinery Wastewater Treatment

    Were working on a design for revamping existing oil-refinery wastewater system in Eastern Europe - one of the aspects is the storm water. Equals 36,000,000 gallons in 24-hours. The oil/PAH/THC/Aromatic is not of issue for us to remove - but there will be heavy precipitate at the end of the...

    Lead removal

    There are several technologies - how they are applied differes, depending on the intent or process being used. You note freswater - but where and how depends on the source of the freshwater and the other pollutants/organics it contains. Ozonation is one, normally following filtration of any...

    Chemical Neutralization of Pesticides

    If you run a Google search using the keywords of "persistent organic pesticides,endocrin distruptors in sewage sludge" you'll get buried in articles from the UN Environmental Programme, Germany, and some Fish & Wildlife files on frogs and fish sexual mutation. Most of these involve the...

    China Spill- Anyone Know Who got the Contract?

    Heard that an American company got the contract with China to treat the water from the benzene spill at the freshwater plants - anyone know who got the contract?

    Silica:colloidal or reactive?

    Normally, the lab will provide a analysis designation number/abbreviation - which describes the procedure and what it is measuring - total soluble and collodial silica, or only one - the lab should be able to provide the description for you, but you can normally find the procedure outlined by a...
