Solving The World's Greatest Water Challenge With Ingenuity And Mathematics

What is the DNA of innovation? Certainly not formal education and advanced degrees. In my opinion, people who have innovators’  brains somehow maintain a childish way of thinking; they simply cannot accept the standard solution for a problem, and they continue to look for other solutions.

Water Treatment Plant Refurbishing & Retrofitting: To Do Or Not To Do

The truth of the matter is that there is no question here – in today's world of awareness of preserving the planet and its natural water sources, there is no question that many industries, particularly older facilities, have to either refurbish, retrofit, or both.

Desalination or Greywater Reclamation – Making the Right Choice

Few, if any, countries have the luxury of unlimited water resources. For many countries, water resources are becoming increasingly limited in both quantity and quality. Human water consumption has increased beyond sustainable levels in many regions, resulting in depletion of natural water sources, and lower quality water in drinking water reservoirs, including groundwater systems.

Giving Your Aging Power Plant a New Lease on Life

For the past century, thermal power plants have been huge players in the US energy market. They met the dramatic increase in electricity demand in the 1950s and 1960s and were a real advantage when oil prices skyrocketed in the 1970s. 

However, environmental legislation, starting with the Clean Air Act of 1970, imposed significant restrictions on sulfur emissions and greenhouse gas emissions from new thermal plants.

Blue is the New Green: Achieving Sustainable Seawater Desalination

The need for sufficient and safe water is one of the significant development challenges of our time. Water is fundamental to life, and sustainable sources of fresh water are becoming seriously limited. Population growth, changing water consumption patterns, and climate change threaten fresh water supplies.

How to Optimize Performance & Ongoing Operation in Your SWRO/BWRO Plant

Optimize Performance & Operation Using an End-to-End Smart Management Program

The Problem - Lack of Insight into Critical Parameters

As with any industrial facility, seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) and brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) desalination plants are prone to the occasional wear and tear.

Desalination Has No Known Negative Impacts on the Environment: True or False?

Although historically desalination has had negative impacts, newer sustainable methods of desalination are emerging. Sustainable, eco-friendly and cost-effective desalination doesn’t begin and end with technological advancement. Its scope needs to stretch beyond traditional limits for it to offer a genuinely comprehensive solution in a reality of increasing uncertainty regarding climate and natural resources. Let’s take a look at the ecological and economic significance of pairing eco-friendly desalination with renewable energy resources & responsible effluent management, that together ensure a truly sustainable water future.
