The world is facing a water crisis. With increasing populations, industrialization, and climate change, fresh water sources are becoming scarce. Desalination – the process of removing salt and impurities from seawater – has become an attractive solution to this crisis. However, traditional desalination methods are energy-intensive, expensive, and not environmentally friendly. Enter jellyfish-inspired desalination. Scientists […]
Water scarcity is a growing concern around the world, with nearly 1 billion people lacking access to clean and safe drinking water. As the global population continues to increase, the demand for fresh water is only expected to rise. This has led to the development of innovative water purification technologies, such as hydrogel-based water purification […]
Atmospheric water generation (AWG) is a cutting-edge technology that is gaining attention as a sustainable solution to the global water crisis. With the Earth’s population growing at an unprecedented rate and freshwater sources becoming increasingly scarce due to pollution and over-extraction, finding innovative ways to generate clean and safe drinking water is essential for the […]
From the gas pump to the synthetic fertilizers that help feed the world, petroleum products facilitate almost every aspect of modern life. But this ubiquitous fossil fuel comes with an overlooked and mounting environmental toll – for every barrel of crude oil extracted, an astounding 10 barrels of salty, contaminated wastewater called “produced water” surfaces […]
Screw presses play a crucial role in wastewater management, serving as an effective tool for the dewatering of sludges and slurries. These mechanical devices leverage a screw mechanism to apply pressure and separate solids from liquids. Their operation is relatively straightforward but highly dependent on specific variables such as screw speed, the design of the […]
Filtration in wastewater treatment is a critical process for removing impurities from water before it is released back into the environment or reused. The process involves passing water through substances that act as filters to separate particles and contaminants from the water. This is essential for protecting water quality, ecosystem health, and human well-being. As […]
Global engineering and consulting firm Black & Veatch (B&V) announced this week that it has acquired the water business of MJ Gleeson Group, an Australian construction and civil engineering company. This strategic acquisition significantly expands B&V’s water infrastructure capabilities and strengthens its presence across the Asia-Pacific region. MJ Gleeson’s water infrastructure division specializes in designing […]
