Industrial wastewater treatment management programs are required to meet national guidelines established by the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, regarding the discharge of industrial wastewater and the level of contaminants allowed. The EPA established Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELGs) as part of the Clean Water Act of 1972 which limits the maximum …
Precise and accurate control of dosing flavorings, essence, fragrances, or any other food additive is key to high product quality. Any slight alteration of a flavorant can significantly alter the characteristics of a food or beverage product causing it to become too sour, sweet, or tangy. Different additives can change …
Water cooling towers are used in various industrial processes to cool process equipment such as machinery and presses, chillers, and air-conditioners to prevent overheating and maintain an ambient air temperature. Water leaves the cooling tower in a few different ways, mostly through evaporation. A small amount of water may leave …
Magnetic drive, sealless pumps, are an engineering revolution to the process equipment industry and offer many benefits over traditional, sealed pumps including costly and complex seal support systems. Traditional pumps which rely on seals come with an inherent risk of leaks and require regular maintenance to maintain integrity of your …
OVERVIEW: Illinois Process Equipment, IPE, was asked to provide a chemical dosing system for boiler water treatment at a large steel mill.

Sodium hypochlorite, also known as liquid bleach, remains the number one water disinfectant. The main concern when sodium hypochlorite is used is ensuring that there are no leaks which can risk dangerous skin exposure. Another concern is the propensity of sodium hypochlorite to cause off-gassing when being pumped. Challenges When …
Sealless magnetic drive pumps provide many advantages including improved safety, productivity, and compliance in many fluid transfer applications. Two sets of magnets transfer power from the motor to the impeller of the pump to move fluid. Because the driven magnet is contained inside the impeller assembly, a solid barrier separates …
A Midwest chemical processing and distribution company had increased their chemical production capacity with the addition of larger heat exchangers. This increased capacity put a strain on the aging water system. Maintaining precise temperatures ensures that the chemical reaction yields the highest concentration of a product. The inability of the …
