Inside the water world of a sustainable solution finder Filtration+Separation spoke to Dr. David Cartmell, executive chairman and CEO of BWA Water Additives, about the character of his company and its new product launch at Aquatech.
Filtration in nuclear decommissioning Nuclear filtration in general, and filtration in the field of Nuclear decommissioning in particular, presents one of the most challenging, demanding and technically satisfying fields in the whole of engineering, whilst welcoming innovation and new thought. Here, Chris Chadwick and Adam Swain of the Porvair Filtration Group, Nuclear Services Division, put forward some considerations when considering filtration applications for the nuclear industry.
Filtration and sedimentation in clean water production Pure water production, whether for human consumption or for industrial uses, is by far the largest application for solid-liquid separation equipment. Ken Sutherland looks at the role of filtration and sedimentation in the production of safe drinking water, and of pure water for other purposes.
A new trend in mobile water treatment plant hire Plant breakdowns can be solved by hiring a mobile water treatment facility. However, mains water is not always the same and a change of water supply from river to borehole or vice versa, water on an industrial water treatment plant can be devastating. One solution is a mobile fleet including a range of pre-treatment processes as Mark Dyson, of AQUAMOVE relates.
Application of rotary fiber disk filtration in the treatment of oilfield wastewater Currently, the Rotary Fiber Disk Filtration (RFDF) is the proven tertiary filtration system for municipal wastewater treatment, but applying the RFDF technology to the oilfield wastewater is challenging work.
Vortex filters make cost savings at German hospital Through careful planning and the right filtration technology, rainwater harvesting and its use can result in significant savings in utility costs. Architect Klaus Koenig of Ueberlingen, Germany outlines to Filtration+Separation how this worked at a hospital in Bad Hersfeld.
Rainwater reuse project in Mexico creates amazing transformation A drainage project in downtown Monterrey, Mexico has created a sustainable blueprint for rainwater re-use, which could be replicated to help tackle the joint challenges of urban regeneration and water scarcity across the country. Here, a solution pioneered the use of stormwater treatment technologies and helped to combat the country’s severe water scarcity problems.
Polyvinylidene fluoride fibres: for multiple high performance requirements Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has long been used for industrial monofilament applications. Sean M. Stabler, James Henry, Jerome Chauveau of Arkema, developers of the new Kynar PVDF discuss how new grades allow the dimensions of fibers to be scaled down to very low diameter fibers giving access to new opportunities.
