Scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHEs) are widely recognised as an effective solution for heat transfer because they prevent fouling by removing product from the tube surface and employ a scraping action that provides thorough mixing and distribution of heat or cold within the product. However, challenges arise when pasteurising, cooling, or sterilising thick and viscous foods that require ...
Recreational lake algae control has one job for most managers: keep the lake open, safe, and pleasant through the whole season. When a bloom hits in July, that job gets hard fast. A green, scummy lake means posted advisories, canceled swimming, anxious pet owners, and a flood of complaints, often right before a busy holiday weekend. As of July 7, 2026, California State Parks reported that ...
Jakarta faces severe air quality challenges due to rapid urbanization, industrial activities, and vehicular emissions. Levels of pollutants like PM2.5, which pose critical risks to human health, regularly exceed Indonesia’s Ambient Air Quality Standards and the World Health Organization’s recommendations. Residents are at increased risk for respiratory diseases, cardiovascular issues, ...

Across the world, governments, environmental agencies, and city authorities face a common challenge: how to deploy reliable air quality monitoring in locations where access to electricity is limited, unreliable, or prohibitively expensive. Traditional air quality monitoring stations typically require a permanent connection to the electricity grid, air conditioning systems, and significant ...

With the World Biogas Expo at the NEC, Birmingham, on 8–9 July, recent research and industry developments highlight the role of renewable biofertilisers, notably digestate, in agriculture and food production, and the need for proper handling and processing.Digestate’s environmental and nutrient value exceeds €1 billion per year, according to the European Biogas Association (EBA). By 2050, ...
Ammonia (NH3) emissions from livestock manure represent a significant environmental challenge and contribute substantially to atmospheric nitrogen pollution. In dairy farming, only a small fraction of nitrogen from feed is converted into milk, while a large proportion is excreted through urine and faeces. When these components mix, chemical reactions rapidly generate ammonia emissions. ...

With sustainability and the circular economy becoming global priorities, cities are rapidly shifting from traditional “collect and dispose” waste systems to resource-oriented solid waste management. At the heart of this transition lies the adoption of intelligent waste sorting technologies—innovations that boost efficiency, reduce operational costs, and significantly improve ...
In today’s construction environment, choosing American-made products has direct implications for project execution and long-term system performance. For stormwater management professionals, specifying domestically manufactured systems can reduce supply chain variability, simplify compliance with federal and state procurement requirements, and improve schedule reliability. U.S. manufacturing ...
The 2026 algae bloom season is arriving earlier than usual, and three forces are behind it: a warmer-than-average spring, low flows in many basins, and the same nutrient pressure as ever. Together, they are pushing harmful algal blooms earlier in the year and stretching the monitoring season for water utilities. In several regions, bloom advisories and seasonal forecasts are already active weeks ...
Adapting to The Brooklyn Bridge Landscape The site was prepared in stages to maintain access to the back lot while work progressed around the future system location. Once site preparation was complete, the installation itself was finished in just a few days. A challenge occurred when the contractor uncovered a rock ledge in one corner of the proposed system, located very close to a neighboring ...
Performance in industrial sectors is shaped by water quality, affecting efficiency, safety, and operating costs. Although traditional water treatment chemicals remain widespread, they address only short-term issues and can lead to long-term challenges. Industries require innovative solutions today. Oxygen transfer technology offers a sustainable means to improve water quality while reducing ...
Not-from-concentrate (NFC) juices – and orange juice in particular – continue to grow in popularity, with global transport dominated by frozen juice to maintain quality and freshness. The standard lined 200 litre drums used are convenient and easy to handle, but extracting, breaking up and melting the frozen juice is not always easy or straight forward.The HRS I Series consists of two different ...
The complete confined space entry system is the integrated arrangement that supports entry, fall arrest, retrieval, and rescue for a specific space. It is not simply the structure over the opening. In distribution, the first product request is often incomplete. A customer may ask for a confined space tripod, but the actual application may require a tripod plus a retrieval device, a full body ...
Typically, disposing of DAF sludge has been viewed as a problem, but treatment with anaerobic digestion makes it an asset.From Waste Stream to Energy SourceDAF sludge is rich in organic material, consolidating fats, oils, grease, and proteins into a sludge stream with high biodegradable content. Rather than sending this waste to landfill, facilities can leverage biological treatment to recover ...
India’s Directorate General of Shipping has introduced mandatory CCTV on Indian-flagged vessels over 500 gross tonnes and certain foreign-flagged ships operating along the Indian coast. In February 2025, the regulator set out that existing ships have 36 months from February 2025, or by the next renewal survey, whichever occurs later; new vessels must comply on delivery. The rules require ...
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) occupy a central role in the development of innovative nucleic acid–based therapies. Used as vectors to deliver therapeutic molecules into cells, LNPs are a critical driver across vaccination, oncology, and gene therapy. Their development remains technically demanding and resource-intensive.Drawing on more than 45 years of lipid research, Cayman has introduced the ...
