  • Oil and gas: Water treatment in oil and gas production – does it matter?
    Water is not normally associated in many people's minds with the production of oil and gas from underground reservoirs. Consequently, with no energy potential or sales value, is its separation, treatment and disposal important? David Robinson discusses issues surrounding the handling of water in the production of oil and gas.

    Winemaking by-products are a low-cost and rich source of valuable phenolic compounds with widely recognised health benefits. Membrane separation processes are ideal for recovering these compounds, ensuring high quality of the extracts produced. As a result of the gentle nature of membrane processing, the final products can justify the label ‘natural’, which is essential for most food and cosmetic markets. Carla Brazinha explains.

Eriez Heavy Industries introduces the FinesSort Jr for recycling facilities

24 August 2010

The compact design of the FinesSort Jr allows for efficient recovery of 1 inch and smaller fines and is specifically targeted towards mid to small sized facilities.

The FinesSort Jr from Eriez receives discarded ‘fines’ material which has passed through an initial screening process. It creates three material streams; a clean ferrous product stream, a clean nonferrous metals stream and a waste stream. The second stage reclaims the valuable nonferrous metals. The Xtreme Eddy Current Separator (ECS) is specifically designed to recover fine nonferrous materials which a recycling centre’s main ECS would otherwise miss. The nonferrous fines material is propelled by the Xtreme ECS into a cross conveyor and from there into collection bins. At this stage, light non-metal materials (fluff) falls out of the stream through a chute onto the customer’s waste conveyor.
