Innovative Treatment of Shale Fracturing Flowback and Produced Water for Reuse or Discharge
Pakzadeh B., Mastin B., Chatterton B., Vaillancourt A., Renew J., Wos J., Philbrook D., Min J., Wardle C., Southern Research Institute, US
Southern Research Institute, with project partners M2 Water Treatment, Inc. and BKT United received an award from Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America to develop an innovative, cost-effective, and robust approach for shale fracturing [...]
An integrated approach for industrial water systems optimal design
A novel approach is presented for integration of traditional water pinch technology to include detailed waste-water treatment systems models. The theoretical framework as well as examples for practical application of the novel approach will be [...]
Fabrication and Testing of a Miniaturised Water Quality Monitoring pH and Conductivity Sensors
Banna M.H., Najjaran H., Sadiq R., Rodriguez M.J., Imran S.A., Hoorfar M., University of British Columbia, CA
Development of cost-effective, durable and sensitive on-line water quality monitoring sensors that can be installed across the water distribution network has attracted attentions to increase the frequency of monitoring and hence reduce the risk of [...]
Photocatalytic disinfection of E. coli using tourmaline-N-doped TiO2 composite
Neither the microbicidal mechanism of TiO2 under visible radiations nor their potential effects in the light intensity have yet been well established. In this paper, the photocatalytic inactivation of bacteria was investigated using E. coli, [...]
Synthesis of nano-hydroxyapatite from a biogenic waste for the removal of manganese from wastewater
A novel Hydroxyapatite nanopowder prepared from a biogenic waste, shell of a gastropod, by hydrothermal method was used for adsorption of manganese ion in wastewater. The nano-Hap produced was characterized using XRD, FTIR and SEM. [...]
Reducing Energy Footprint of a Waste Water Treatment Plant by Increasing Harvesting Efficiency of Solids following Primary Clarification
This presentation describes a novel hydrodynamic separation (HDS) technology that has the potential to dramatically reduce the energy footprint of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) by reducing the energy required for aeration and by increasing [...]
Autonomous Nanosensor System for Monitoring and Quantifying Arsenic in Water
Salinas S., Mosquera N., Yate L., Coy E., Yamhure G., González E., Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, CO
In present work, we have developed a system for detection and quantification of arsenic in water, based on surface plasmon resonance. The sensor uses a gold self-assembled monolayers on Au(111) substrate. Studies that we have [...]
More Efficient Hydrokinetic Turbines
Pioneer Valley Renewables applies fluid dynamic technologies to make a large advance in the performance of underwater river and tidal turbines--a synergy of unique fluid dynamic foil shapes with propeller blades that better direct the [...]
