Hybrid constructed wetlands are a type of wastewater treatment system that combines elements of both traditional constructed wetlands and other treatment technologies. These systems are designed to improve water quality by using natural processes to remove pollutants from wastewater before it is discharged into the environment. Hybrid constructed wetlands can be used to treat a […]
Plasma-based water disinfection has gained increased attention in recent years as an innovative and efficient technology for purifying water. This emerging technology utilizes plasma, which is the fourth state of matter consisting of highly energetic ions, electrons, and photons, to disinfect water by inactivating pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. Plasma-based water disinfection […]
Microfluidic Water Quality Monitoring: A Revolutionary Approach to Environmental Analysis Water is one of the most essential resources for life on Earth. It is essential for agriculture, industry, and human consumption. However, the quality of water is constantly under threat from pollution, contamination, and other factors. Therefore, monitoring water quality is crucial for the protection […]
Main Wastewater Treatment Plant: A Critical Component of Sustainability Introduction: Wastewater treatment is an essential process that ensures the protection of public health and the environment by effectively treating and disposing of wastewater from residential, commercial, and industrial sources. The Main Wastewater Treatment Plant is a key facility in this process, as it is responsible […]
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising technology that has emerged in recent years as an efficient and cost-effective method for removing ions from water. This innovative technique has shown great potential in various applications, including desalination, water purification, and wastewater treatment. CDI works by using two porous electrodes, typically made of activated carbon, that are […]
Communities surrounding industrial facilities and municipal operations are directly impacted by foul orders making life unbearable. These smells indicate more than just the presence of nuisance, but rather hazardous air emissions that pose serious environmental and public health threats. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)—one of these contaminants—is a flammable and highly toxic gas that is normally known […]
As urban populations swell around the globe, an overlooked byproduct of our modern sewage systems is accumulating at an astonishing pace – wastewater sludge. This problematic solid waste is highly nutrient-rich yet challenging to manage sustainably. But innovative resource recovery techniques are now transforming sludge from an environmental liability into a circular economic asset supplying […]
Water treatment company H2O Innovation Inc. recently announced the acquisition of Itasca Systems Inc. in a $24 million deal. Itasca Systems provides specialized water systems engineering and technical services related to membrane filtration and other treatment technologies. This strategic purchase allows Canadian cleantech leader H2O Innovation to expand its engineering and system design capabilities in […]
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Arlington County lies an unassuming complex of buildings that play a vital role in maintaining the health and cleanliness of our waterways. The Arlington Waste Water Treatment Plant has been operating since 1959 to treat sewage from Arlington County and discharge clean water back into the environment. On […]
As water scarcity intensifies globally, innovative technologies are needed to ensure adequate supply and optimize treatment. Water processes based on osmosis, the natural diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane, have generated growing interest for their efficiency, reliability, and environmental sustainability. Engineered osmosis methods like forward osmosis (FO) and pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) utilize optimized membranes […]
