Developers were required to provide a Chilean mine with its own drinking water supply, due to the constraints of the desert area. The successful pilot of a seawater membrane system led to a permanent solution which provides drinking water for the mining camp and process water for the filter units. 15 June 2010
Developments in legislation have provoked companies to rethink their approach to environmental monitoring. In response, CEMEX has contracted RS Hydro to provide a long term, comprehensive solution through the installation of flow monitoring equipment at its UK sites. This article describes the challenges and benefits of the new legislation, while proving its goals to be achievable. 28 May 2010
An gold mining operation required a wastewater treatment system to enable water recycling on-site. The environmental initiative called for a solution which would achieve optimum performance while requiring little maintenance. The introduction of a Fixed Activated Sludge Treatment proved a successful addition. 20 May 2010
Martin Hunt of Festo describes how companies can benefit from using the correct choice of valve technology. For one company, adopting the recommendation to change to pneumatic pinch valves instead of butterfly valves provided significant long-term cost savings and performance benefits. 09 October 2009
Water pollution – especially as a result of oil production and storage – is an unfortunate fact of life. Finding a solution is not as obvious, especially if it has to fit around an existing infrastructure. We take a look at a development by BPC, which looks at bioremediation as a solution. 26 March 2009
Working with Water spoke with Ian Barbour, General Manager of Dow Water Solutions, about the important issues of water provision and quality in the world today – from the cost of providing clean water in India, to desalination in Australia. 25 March 2009
The demands on ducting and land drainage equipment vary by geographical location and industry needs. In this case study, we take a look at UK-based Naylor Drainage that expanded its product range in order to offer a solution for a sewage transfer system. 25 March 2009
In the past, designing piping was a laborious and haphazard job. Three-dimensional computer design has revolutionized the whole construction process - and certainly made the process a great deal easier for the designers of a complex water piping system for a new shark exhibit in a 90 year old Chicago museum. 04 March 2009
Reducing the environmental impact of water management and infrastructure projects is becoming an essential part of the business. In this article, Dr Mike Coffey looks at the role environmental monitoring can play and how to design an effective program. 04 March 2009
In wastewater plants, the 8-inch diameter x 40-inch long RO element has been the standard in RO systems for many years, but is clearly not the optimum for today’s large systems. Peter Moss, Robert Skelton and Michael Tylla of Koch Membrane Systems examine the issues related to the use of large elements, and show how these challenges have been addressed. 04 March 2009
