Triangle Environmental proposes a compact, modular system for rapid, fully-automated treatment of domestic greywater for non-potable onsite reuse. There is an expected 40% global shortfall between supply and demand of water by 2030. The current standard of household water use, in which potable water is used for all applications, is therefore unsustainable. Alternate water sources can be used for a ...

Acrolein has been identified by the U.S. Clean Air Act as a hazardous air pollutant because of its adverse health effect, particularly on respiratory systems. There are both anthropogenic and natural sources of acrolein in the environment. Acrolein is produced by combustion sources (e.g., vehicle exhaust, prescribed agricultural burning, cigarette smoke) and industrial sources, i ...

Acrolein (CH2=CHCHO) has been identified by the U.S. Clean Air Act as a hazardous air pollutant because of its adverse health effect, particularly on respiratory systems. There are both anthropogenic and natural sources of acrolein in the environment. Acrolein is produced by combustion sources (e.g. vehicle exhaust, prescribed agricultural burning, cigarette smoke) and industrial sources, includi ...

Oxides of nitrogen, or NOx, are common air pollutants in congested urban areas. NOx contributes to a variety of environmental problems, including ground-level ozone (smog), acid rain, and visibility impairment. NOx emissions are generated by motor vehicles, industrial facilities, and electric power plants. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 required that stationary sources, such as power plan ...

A NEW METHOD FOR REMOVING ACID RAIN PRECURSORS FROM COAL-FIRED BOILERS HAS BEEN CONCEIVED. THE CONCEPT INVOLVESA TAIL-END SCRUBBER RETROFIT FOR INSTALLATION IN PLANTS WHICH PRE-DATE THE 1970 CLEAN AIR ACT. THE CONCEPT IS HIGHLY INNOVATIVE AND HAS MANY ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER SORBENTINJECTION PROCESSES. HETEROGENEOUS REACTIONS BETWEEN SO2 AND CALCIUM-BASED SORBENTS ARE AFFECTED BY THE MASS TRANSFER B ...

EFFORTS TO MITIGATE DAMAGE TO LAKES, FORESTS, AND OTHER ECOSYSTEMS FROM ACID RAIN HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES FOR SO2 EMMISSIONS. THE COMBUSTION OF COAL FOR POWER GENERATION HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH APPROXIMATELY 80% OF ALL SO2 EMISSIONS. WHILE FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION (FGD) TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS WET SCRUBBING, DRY SCRUBBING, AND DRY SORBENT INJECTION HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED, PROBLEMS OF ...

"The environmental Protection Agency is soliciting innovations for the development of small unit drinking water systems that will inactivate contaminants including pesticides, organic pollutants, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and pathogens. In the US, 85% of all public water systems serve fewer than 3,300 people, thus these water systems are considered small. For providing these small ...

There is an immediate and growing need for technology to remediate groundwater and sites contaminated with methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and with possible benzene/toluene/xylene (BTX) compounds. Gasoline that contains MTBE has leaked into groundwater, presenting both health risks and objectionable odor and taste in lakes, aquifers, and urban wells in 49 states. Due to the specific physical an ...

There is an immediate and growing need for technology to remediate groundwater and soils contaminated with methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) as well as with associated benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) compounds. Gasoline containing MTBE has leaked into groundwater, presenting both health risks and objectionable odor and taste in lakes, aquifers, and urban wells in 49 states. Due ...
