Shoring up future water supplies with RO sea water plants
Article Abstract:
Industrial plants for sea water prefer to utilize the reverse-osmosis approach in purifying sea water, which is seen as a viable alternative to the dwindling supply of brackish water in the US. The supply of brackish water has been depleted as a result of a rise in industries' water requirements and an increase in the number of people who utilize the vital resource. More difficulty is faced by sectors seeking to achieve aquifer preservation in the US, with excess usage, pollution and drought contributing to the decrease in water supplies.

Odor absorbent eliminates odor problems at a municipal wastewater treatment plant
Article Abstract:
NU-AIR Odor Absorbent was used to control an odor problem at a wastewater treatment plant in New York. The plant, which serves a community of more than 35,000 individuals, is the recipient of wastewater from over 500 miles of primary sewer injector lines and a scavenger truck drop-off location. NU-AIR Odor Absorbent, a mixture of plant oils and special emulsifiers, was used in a diluted (1:25) solution with potable water and installed with a system composed of Delvan air aspirated siphon nozzles and Pulsafeeder peristaltic pumps.
