  1. Yes, Pneumatic Conveying Lines Can Be More Than 1,000 Feet Long 1/4/2023

    Conveying food products over long distances requires careful consideration of multiple factors, including material, temperature, pipe diameter, and blower motor size.

  2. 7 Challenges (And Solutions) To Utility Fluid Measurement In Food And Beverage 10/4/2022

    This article will review seven common challenges, including those that are unique to liquid fluid measurement and steam fluid measurement, as well as ideal solutions to those challenges.

  3. A Budding Industry – How Filtration Solutions Can Help With Cannabis Extraction 8/31/2022

    CBD drinks and other edibles are among the fastest-growing categories of self-care and natural alternatives. Producers can use filtration technology to ensure their products meet quality and regulatory standards.

  4. Smart Irrigation For Agriculture Leads To More Efficient Carbon Capture 7/7/2022

    Farmers are key to carbon capture, though many plans to reverse greenhouse gas emissions — such as the one described in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's 2020 report on California's efforts, Getting to Neutral — largely ignore them.

  5. The Importance Of Ultrafiltration/Microfiltration Membrane Systems In Reclaiming Industrial Wastewater 6/7/2022

    Increasing water scarcity, which results in higher water costs, is pushing manufacturers to reclaim and reuse their wastewater. 

  6. Explanation, Methods, And Solutions For Chemical Treatment Of Industrial Water And Wastewater 5/23/2022

    We discuss the function of various types of chemicals used, and why we believe a FLEXFLO peristaltic dosing pump is the best choice to deliver those chemicals.

  7. Skid-Mounted Aeration Systems: One Solution For Different Problems 5/17/2022

    Learn how skid-mounted aeration systems can be a useful solution for many problems that occur throughout the wastewater treatment process.

  8. Jet-Mixed Anaerobic Processes For Large Tanks 5/17/2022

    Resource recovery projects offer a beneficial way to extract value from organic waste streams. In the process, this waste is diverted from landfills, effectively reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. When sent to landfills, organic materials decompose and convert to carbon dioxide and methane, the latter of which is a short-lived climate pollutant that, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is roughly 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Capturing methane prevents it from contributing to a warming planet.

  9. Nitrogen Removal At A Very Large Scale 5/17/2022

    Nitrogen removal standards are a pressing concern for meat and poultry processing plants. Historically, food processing plants discharging to public waterways or directly to publicly owned wastewater treatment plants have faced challenges in meeting effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs) for nutrient removal. That may soon become even tougher yet with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announcing in September 2021 that it has completed a detailed study of the meat and poultry products category and will initiate new rulemaking to revise the existing discharge standards for the industry.

  10. Removing Ammonia In Drinking Water With AccuFAS 5/16/2022

    Read on to learn how, utilizing its pilot reactor, Brentwood helped a mid-sized suburban community assess potential treatment of ammonia in the city’s potable water source.
