What’s In Your Water? This Revolutionary AI Technology Breaks It Down
Across the planet, corporations and municipalities account for over 30 per cent of accessible and renewable freshwater usage. They generate colossal amounts of wastewater containing various concentrations of elements such as copper, zinc, titanium, and mercury, which unfortunately make their way into our drinking water. Now, instead of worrying about what’s in your next glass of tap water, imagine you could point your phone’s camera at it and know exactly what substances lie within. It sounds like complete science fiction, right? As crazy as it may seem, a team of McGill researchers recently published a ground-breaking paper documenting a new technique that may be able to detect these substances in waterways in real-time. It involves combining artificial intelligence (AI) with the

Industry Focus: Electronics Industry Trends and What They Mean for Your Water Management Strategy
The electronics industry produces all of the devices to support life in an increasingly tech-focused world, including everything from mobile devices and televisions to industrial electronics and telecommunications components. At the core of the electronics industry is the semiconductor sector, which is responsible for producing the chips that are needed for manufacture of devices across other electronics industry sectors. Indeed, semiconductor sales are higher than ever—and that’s despite the semiconductor sector and the broader electronics industry navigating challenges including recent supply chain disruptions and rising environmental concerns. Here, we’ll look at a few industry trends impacting the electronics industry, specifically with an eye on how these trends may impact water use
What Are Microfiltration Membranes?
Microfiltration is a low pressure separation process utilizing membranes with very open pore structures. Microfiltration filters can be made with both organic materials, such as polymer based membranes, as well as inorganic materials, such as ceramic or stainless steel. In selecting the appropriate membrane,
Wastewater Mixers Reduce Maintenance and Improve Health & Safety
Following a highly successful upgrade to its wastewater process, Glatfelter, a global supplier of engineered materials, has made further investments in mixers made by Landia. Manufacturers of quality key products for industries such as food & beverage, electrical, building and medical, Glatfelter first sought to address downtime, as well as health and safety issues caused by an ageing and very awkward effluent mixing system. An open-topped 1000m3 above-ground (7m) glass-lined steel tank used for pH correction was fitted with an internal propeller mixer that, for repair and servicing, was only accessible via vertical ladders and then use of a cumbersome mechanical winch. But as Glatfelter’s Project Manager, Howard Williams, explains, the problems were manifold: “Failures with the mixer had
Biosolids Disposal And Reuse: Emerging Opportunities

How Does Desalination Work?
Water desalination is the process of removing minerals from seawater or brackish water. It works by removing the salt from the water, leaving clean water behind. There are several kinds of water desalination processes, including reverse osmosis, thermal distillation, and electrodialysis. Reverse osmosis pushes the water through a membrane while trapping salt and unwanted minerals. It is said to remove 95-99% of unwanted materials. Before the process, water is pretreated and sent through microfilters in order to remove larger particles and help protect the membrane. Water is then pushed through the membranes that trap salt or minerals so that the fresh water is produced. Thermal distillation uses heat to remove minerals. Bringing salt water to a boil causes the water to vaporize while
Saudi Arabia’s desalination projects eye sustainability and energy
Saudi Arabia is leading the way with sustainable, energy-efficient desalination projects while maintaining its position as a world leader in desalinated water production. The Middle East and North African region have some of the lowest water availability levels per capita among the world’s most water-scarce regions.

Types of fittings: how many are there?
Even those new to the world of industrial equipment know that there are different types of fittings. But what exactly are we referring to by this term? Very trivially, fittings could be defined as joining and connecting elements between pipes. Their uses are diverse, ranging from a wide variety of industrial fields – automotive, plant engineering, plumbing – to more common, domestic uses. They are also known by other definitions: couplings, joints or, in a more basic way, connections. Depending on their use and practicality, we can identify different types. Instantaneous Fitting Instant fittings, also called quick-connect fittings, are those that provide a high guarantee and stability in terms of connection. From a practical point of view, they certainly represent a great convenience. They

Water Industry Innovations in 2018
As the human population of the world continues to grow rapidly, bridging the gap between supply and demand and providing access to safe, clean water has become a priority and a strategic imperative that must be continuously addressed. Thus, there is a clear need to seek out fresh ideas and new approaches to deal with the challenges of dwindling natural water supplies. Whilst there is still some methods to follow, advances in science and technology are helping to bridge this gap and drive the industry forward. The goal of many of these advances is to enhance sustainability and efficiency of production whilst reducing power usage and wastage to a minimum throughout water infrastructure networks. And the advances that will reach success will be scalable, at low cost, and ecologically
Desalination to the Rescue
The world has very little fresh water and it is running out. At tens of billions of tons yearly, the fresh water of the ice caps is falling into the salty sea which is already 97 percent of the world’s water. Rising sea levels will cause mayhem with the supplies of most of the world’s cities because they sit low down
