Analysis of composite non-metallic enclosures for use by water/wastewater electrical engineers
Many perceived roadblocks to the use of non-metallic electrical enclosures for water and wastewater applications result from the lack of knowledge as to effective uses of non-metallic materials and/or the comparative performance benefits of non-metallic enclosures versus metallic alternatives. Often, the perception is that composite non-metallics are inferior to metallic materials. In reality, the opposite is frequently true and the intent of this paper is to detail the reasons why.
Land restoration of a mining community Land restoration of a mining community
On the hills above Merthyr Tydfil, Miller Argent is undertaking a highly ambitious land reclamation scheme which also involves the extraction of coal by surface mining methods. The 'Ffos-y-fran Land Reclamation Scheme', is the third and final phase and is expected to run for approximately 17 years.

Membrane technology: Quality water in unique locations
Improvements in RO membrane elements have provided a threefold increase in the amount of treated water per element while reducing energy costs in desalination and water purification projects around the world. Currently, desalination plants with Dow Water & Process Solutions technology enable more than 218 million gallons of freshwater to be produced every day.
Geographic focus – Middle East: Providing water and water infrastructure to the desert
Water, the scarcest natural resource in the Middle East, has always been a touchy subject in the region. ‘Water policy’ within and between nations has long determined each one’s approach to satisfying local and regional water demands. As water demands escalate at alarming rates, access to adequate supplies to meet ever growing populations, new business developments and the essential food production industry have and will continue to shape foreign policy within the region. Now, environmental considerations are having a deep impact on how countries develop their entire water and wastewater infrastructures. Norrie Hunter takes a look at recent developments and future plans for the area.
