On a global level, wastewater treatment is an increasingly critical topic of discussion that has been addressed at the very highest levels of government and major corporations. In order to find a sustainable approach, companies can employ many different strategies to help themselves go beyond mere compliance and begin the process of positively impacting global water quality. According to a […]
Wastewater management is one of the most challenging operational issues facing chemical, petrochemical and other process plants today. Three primary factors contribute to this: wastewater compliance standards are growing increasingly strict, water consumption costs are rising, and a water shortage is looming in many areas. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) assessed a staggering $69 million in pollution penalties in […]
Energy efficiency is top of mind for many manufacturers who are working to develop sustainable practices. Those who pursue energy cost reduction as part of those initiatives not only position their company for better margins, they promote a high-growth, low-inflation economy. And when it comes to energy waste, there is plenty of room for improvement. Industry uses more than one-third […]
The reduction of water consumption and focus on wastewater treatment is a growing trend in the pharmaceutical industry. With several motivating factors influencing this prioritization, wastewater treatment has become an increasingly critical part of pharmaceutical manufacturing business operations over the last decade. Fortunately, pharma can employ different strategies to go beyond compliance, and begin the process of positively impacting global […]
Wastewater treatment has become an increasingly critical part of plant operations over the past decade, and manufacturing companies in all industrial sectors are prioritizing the reduction of water consumption. Compliance with ever-tightening federal regulations for wastewater treatment, handling, and disposal requires finishing-industry executives to focus on the issue. Additional motivating factors for recycling wastewater include strengthening a company’s public image, […]

Wastewater treatment has become an increasingly critical part of plant operations over the last decade, and manufacturing companies across all industrial sectors are prioritizing the reduction of water consumption. At the heart of any system is the equipment. For finishing shops that are concerned about the impact their wastewater has on both the environment and their bottom line, there are […]
Ultrafiltration (UF) excels at the clarification of solutions containing suspended solids, bacteria, and high concentrations of macromolecules, including oil and water. This is a pressure-driven process using membranes that are characterized by their molecular weight cut-off. No chemical additives are required. Ultrafiltration removes a variety of suspended solids and organic impurities from water and other solutions for optimum water management, […]
