Nano pore technology makes cost effective water production
Written by Nicholas Papp
The Arcada University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki successfully produces nano-sized pores to cut water production costs. Dr. Mikael Paronen, head of the Department of Energy and Materials Technology, claims that this nano pore technology could be globally significant in making clean water available.
Rochester Waste Management to address wastewater treatment issues with RO system
Written by Nicholas Papp
The Turnkey Landfill of Rochester under the city's Waste Management will be using a reverse osmosis (RO) system to address the wastewater treatment plant problems, including the low transmissivity levels in the water as well as the significant amount of nitrogen passing through the city's plant. The upgrades are expected to be completed summer of 2013.
A reverse osmosis (RO) system will be implemented for the treatment of leachate — the precipitation and melted snow that filters through the landfill waste and collects on the bottom. After the leachate is pretreated at Waste Management, it travels to the city's wastewater treatment plant, where it's treated and then discharged into the Cocheco River. Aqua Solutions offer various options in RO pretreatment to meet both laboratory and industrial requirements similar to this.
March 22 is World Water Day, and this year the celebration focuses on The Year of International Water Cooperation. UN Water reminds us that rivers often flow through multiple countries, and actions by one country or community can affect their neighbors’ ability to meet their water needs. Consuming too much water, or polluting a shared body of water, can make it hard for others to have enough for drinking, hygiene, agriculture, ecosystem health, and other needs.
Environmental-friendly reverse osmosis (RO) systems demand increases
Written by Nicholas Papp
Water Technology magazine reports that many customers in both the laboratory and industrial sectors are now looking for sustainable options when it comes to water treatment, including reverse osmosis (RO) systems.Professionals cannot dispute RO’s effectiveness, but they are also aware of the technology’s drawbacks, such as high energy requirements, and product water to wastewater ratio.
Demand for high purity water boosts membrane and RO systems market
Written by Nicholas Papp
Business consulting firm Frost & Sullivan held a web conference last March 13 discussing the increasing penetration of membrane technologies, including reverse osmosis (RO), microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration. Research analyst Paulina Szyplinska lead the event and explained how membrane filtration systems can address global water challenges by ensuring high quality supply to the laboratory, industrial and even the global population.

Aqua Solutions releases Programmable Remote Dispenser for easy deionized water measurement
Written by Nicholas Papp
Aqua Solutions recently released the Programmable Remote Dispenser 2700PRD for the easy and quick delivery of measured volume of deionized water. The dispenser is designed for use on new and existing Aqua Solutions water purification systems, and can be customized for operation on other systems.
The Programmable Remote Dispenser delivers precise, measured volume of deionized water at the press of a button. After selecting a volume, the operator simply pushes a button to deliver the required amount.
The 2700PRD dispenser is manufactured for repeat operation as its easy-to-select volume is retained in the equipment's non-volatile memory. It also offers versatility with its volume range of 0.1 liters to 100 liters, which can be selected in increments of 0.01 liters. The dispenser will accurately measure volumes over a flow rate range of 0.6 Liters/minute to 5 Liters/minute.
IDA to launch online reverse osmosis (RO) certification program
Written by Nicholas Papp
The International Desalination Association (IDA) will be launching the online IDA Reverse Osmosis Certification (IROC) Program in collaboration with David H. Paul, Inc. (DHP). The program aims to provide advanced training and skills in both theory and application of water treatment systems.
The IROC is an Internet-based course for proficiency certification on advanced desalination. Because all training and testing will be done online, professionals all over the world can have access to IROC. The program is also self-paced and may be entered at any time, provided that the participant will complete the 24-credit, 675-hour requirements within a year from the entry date.
Aqua Solutions, a worldwide provider of affordable laboratory water systems, has announced that it will be exhibiting its full line of products for laboratory, analytical and biological water purification at Pittcon 2013.
