No Wastewater Burden at Audi México Manufacturing Plant
The plant, which produces the Audi Q5, treats and reuses the effluents generated as process water in production and to irrigate the green areas on the grounds.
High Efficiency PV Cells Based on a Boron Nitride Separation Process
A boron nitride separation layer could hold the key to high efficiency hybrid photovoltaic (PV) cells that can harness a broader spectrum of light.
New Purification Method Uses Sand to Clean Chemical-ridden Stormwater
The University of California Berkeley has developed a new method to purify stormwater to create a clean source of water for water-stressed communities.
A New Route to Solar Panel Recycling
Over 95 percent of solar module components are expected to be recycled with this recovery route.
Tailoring Support Media to Optimize Reactor Reliability and Performance
Proper support media selection keeps pressure drop low, prevents fouling or plugging of the catalyst bed and enables the catalyst to achieve optimal performance.
How to Prevent Cartridge Heater Failure and Extend Heater Life
Cartridge heaters are constructed either with standard heating coils that are inserted into ceramic tubes, or for high watt densities swaged cartridge heaters are available. While these look identical, the internal construction is quite different.
Controlled Cavitation Technology for Oil Processing
Cavitation Technologies (CTi) patent-pending CTi Nano Neutralization process offers yield improvement, substantial cost savings and environmental benefits. It is a disruptive technology that has wide market reach from the refining of edible oils, algal oil extraction, renewable fuel production, alcoholic beverage enhancement, water treatment and petroleum feedstock processing.
New Three-Layered Nanostructure Material Developed for Renewable Fuel Production
KAUST researchers have developed a new method to make triple-layered, hollow nanostructures for hybrid materials which have been particularly difficult to develop.
Heating Method Turns Fatbergs into Energy
UBC researchers have developed a method to turn pesky and harmful fatbergs into energy using heat and hydrogen peroxide.
Recycling Li-ion Batteries with Old Mining Technology
Tried and true technology used in the mining industry during the last century was adapted to selectively recover electrode materials from old batteries.
Video: Halliburton Introduces MicroScout® Plus Service
Microparticles allow deeper reservoir penetration and stimulation of previously inaccessible resources.
Hot Enough for You? How Air Conditioning Use Varies Across the U.S.
Air-conditioning costs ranged from an average of $525 in the hot-humid region in the Southeast to about $60 in the temperate marine region along the West Coast.
Watch the Bioengineering of Personalized Bone Grafts
Segments of bone engineered from stem cells are combined to create large-scale, personalized grafts that will enhance treatment for those suffering from bone disease or injury.
Reinforced Thermal Film for Die-cutting
Sarcon 15GTR from Fujipoly is a thin, thermal interface composite film made from heat-conducting silicone and a .05-mm fiberglass reinforcement layer.
New Valve for Pharmaceutical Water Systems Maintains Water Quality with a Range of Configurations
The diaphragm valve is compact and lightweight with a modular design.
Researchers Urge Environmental Officials to Keep Oil Rigs, Other Off-Shore Infrastructure as Artificial Reefs
Once oil rigs, wind turbines and other large ocean installations outlive their usefulness, it is typically mandated that they be removed from the site. Yet a team of international researchers is appealing to environmental officials to keep the large installations in place because the structures serve another vital function as artificial reefs.
Q&A: Water Customer Needs in the U.S.
Finding the right variable frequency drive — one that is flexible and gives the best freedom in choosing the right drive motor combination — is becoming more important than ever before.
Simplified Purchasing for Industrial Fluid Handling Equipment and More
Businesses shopping for industrial fluid handling equipment have found an outlier: Dultmeier Sales LLC. This company follows three core principles that make them a premier supplier for fluid handling equipment and products, as well as related business lines.
New Particulate Monitoring Technology Reduces Maintenance and Prevents Downtime
Baghouse and cyclone failure can lead to leaks and overflows, sending undesired concentrations of dust and other particulates through stacks, ducts and pipes. To address performance, limit downtime and reduce maintenance a new dust sensor with integrated electronics brings a sense of simplicity to existing processes.
ITT Bornemann Launches Hermetically Sealed Twin Screw Pump for Chemical and Petrochemical Sectors
Using magnetic coupling, the SLW pump eliminates the need for mechanical seals and complex seal supply systems.
