Sustainability White Papers & ARticles

  1. Automating Time-Consuming Water Quality Tests 4/5/2022

    Discover established and regulated methods to individually determine and mitigate copper, iron, silica, manganese, aluminum, calcium, and other analytes of interest in water.

  2. The Business Value Of Connectivity For Product Inspection Equipment 3/16/2022

    Realize the value of connectivity, and more specifically, the value of the information provided by checkweighing, metal detection, vision inspection, and X-ray inspection.

  3. Understand Hygienic Principles In Food Manufacturing 3/16/2022

    This guide provides you with the tools to evaluate the washdown capabilities of a given piece of production equipment.

  4. Math Solutions Explained: Calculate Food-to-Microorganism (F-M) Ratio 3/15/2022

    The food-to-microorganism (F-M) ratio is a process control numeric value advantageous to determine the proper number of microorganisms for the biological treatment process. The solution of calculating F-M ratio uses the influent volume of wastewater into an activated sludge system (flow MGD), incoming carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) (mg/L) concentration into the aeration tank, mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) concentration (mg/L), and quantity (in gallons) of the respective aeration system.

  5. Brine Management — A Necessity, Not A Luxury 3/15/2022

    Brine is everywhere: desalination plants, gas and oil drillings, energy generation plants, mines, cooling towers, food manufacturing plants, chip fabrication, and many other industries that require high volumes of water. They all generate brine as a byproduct of their processes.
