Eliminating the Oil & Gas Industry’s Impact on Climate Change MABR is one of the Most Environmentally Friendly Biological Wastewater Treatment Processes Today Climate change is the most significant environmental concern of our lifetimes and it is widely agreed that comprehensive international action is essential. Data on the topic has established the oil and gas sector as a major contributor to the emission of greenhouse gases. With an increasing push to limit greenhouse emissions by 2020, stronger pollution controls on oil and gas operations, as well as power plants, are being examined by governments.
OxyMem, Boldly Going Where No Sewage Treatment Has Gone Before! NASA is hard at work tackling the challenges of space travel and dreaming up technologies to meet those challenges. Researchers are examining wastewater recovery systems robust enough for use on long term space missions. Biological treatment has been the primary focus, with specific thrusts in developing a biological treatment system that may be operated with minimal crew maintenance and low energy and mass requirements.
Water Reuse - Taking the 'Waste' out of Wastewater The negative connotations of “waste” in the term “wastewater” deter many from thinking about it as a reusable resource. Wastewater or “used water” is not just re-usable, it is a valuable resource that can contribute to poverty reduction efforts, food security and sustainable energy use. There is huge unrealised potential for economic gains, particularly in fast developing economies where water and resource scarcity is a major issue.
Imagine H2O – At The Forefront Of An Innovation Wave There is an exciting window of opportunity in the water industry. Water companies are beginning to emergine that are at the forefront of a new innovation wave. However, challenges exist in commercialising innovative water technologies to address the very real issues we face in this industry.
What Should You Do With Ageing Wastewater Infrastructure? Repair or replace? The question that faces all operators of wastewater treatment facilities at some point. Ageing wastewater infrastructure is challenging treatment processes to their limits, forcing operators to make the difficult decision between refurbishing older infrastructure or replacing with a new technology.
