Alberta Oil Sands Inspire Industry Innovation

Oil Sands Water Treatment New Technology Promises Continuous and Sustainable Improvement Responsible development of the Alberta oil sands reveals complex challenges that are driving technological innovation across the country. These innovations are key to continuous performance improvements in the industry. Canadian businesses are developing solutions to challenges both new and old, and are helping to establish Canada as a world leader in tailings reclamation, water treatment and liquids storage. Tailings Reclamation A byproduct of oil sands processing plants, tailings consist of clay and other process effluents mixed with water. The resulting solution is contained near the production in tailing ponds that pose great and growing concerns about the impact on the environment. ElectroKinetic Solutions Inc. (EKS), has developed a patented

Neutralization Mixing for pH Control

Neutralization Mixing for pH Control Wastewater Treatment Neutralization Neutralization, also known as pH control, is the process of adjusting or maintaining a desired pH level in the wastewater. Generally, neutralization involves the introduction of chemicals to bring water to a neutral pH of 7.0: Acids with a pH less than 7.0 are used to lower the pH of a tank of basic liquid Bases or caustics with a pH higher than 7.0 are used to raise the pH of a tank of acidic liquid The objective of neutralization is to bring effluent wastewater to a neutral pH of 7.0, meaning neither acid nor base, making it suitable for discharge. The acceptable pH level of the discharge varies by location and

How Water Shortage is Trying to Ruin Your BBQ

How Water Shortage is Trying to Ruin Your BBQ BEER!! There is nothing quite like enjoying a frosty cold one on a hot summer’s day, while grilling the perfect steak in your back yard. The problem? Beer is a deeply agricultural product – breweries are tied to the seasons, land productivity, and most importantly, available water. Although water is beer’s primary ingredient, the water shortage in California isn’t the only crisis our beer fridge is facing as the days get warmer. Drought & A Looming Water Crisis Many breweries in California rely on the Russian River as a water supply. But the recent drought and shrinking water supplies have them scrambling to find new sources. Viable options include employing a

Optimizing Polymer Mixing in Water and Wastewater Treatment

Optimizing Polymer Mixing in Water and Wastewater Treatment A major concern in water and wastewater treatment processes is identifying the most effective and efficient way to remove solid particles and other materials found in the liquid stream. The most effective method of eliminating unwanted contaminants is through the use of polymers in a sludge-creating process. Polymers are used to coagulate suspended solids and produce large curds of solid materials (floc) which are more easily removed from the water treatment stream. Polymers are available in a variety of forms and concentrations and are supplied as either dry powders or concentrated liquids.  Each variation presents unique challenges when sizing mixers. Dry Polymers: Polymers supplied in powder form must be wetted out which

Extraordinary Water Treatment Innovation

Extraordinary Water Treatment Innovation Aqua Recovery Project The conversion and repurposing of old tanker ships may just be the ultimate in recycling programs. According to a DNV GL research project, phased-out tank ships are part of a water treatment solution that can provide much needed clean water for coastal cities. In April 2013, Sigmund Larsen, CEO of tech start-up EnviroNor, approached DNV GL CEO Henrik O. Madsen with the idea of converting “old tankers” into floating treatment plants. A project group was assigned, and after ten months of research and planning, the project is ready for its pilot run. “We have to think differently if we want to solve the global challenges related to water supply and pollution from discharge
