March 29th BlueTech Webinar: UV-C LED Technology for Water Treatment
Solid-state UV-C LEDs use a fundamentally different way to generate UV-C light and are anticipated to become highly disruptive to the UV disinfection market within the next 5 to 10 years. While UV-C LEDs cannot currently compete in terms of price and performance, they have advantages over mercury-based UV lamps such as being mercury-free, the ability to instantly reach 100% intensity when turned on, and their lifetime is not dependent on the number of on-off cycles. Furthermore, it can be expected that the technology will see remarkable improvements and cost reductions (based on predecessor technologies like blue LEDs) within the next couple of years.

BLUETECH WEBINAR – Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors – Review of Next Generation Anaerobic Technologies & Potential Market Impacts, Feb 22nd 2012 11am-12.30 EST
Wednesday, February 22 2012, 11am-12.30am EST REGISTER HERE Advances in biotechnology and process design are enabling anaerobic treatment to extend its reach into new applications and market areas. The combination of ultrafiltration membranes with anaerobic systems is enabling water re-use quality effluent standards to be attained. These developments are leading to a new generation of technologies. One of the key attributes of anaerobic systems is that they overcome two of the fundamental weaknesses of aerobic systems: energy use and sludge production. As energy prices rise and sludge management costs increase, there is an increasing focus on how anaerobic treatment technologies can be used to treat wastewaters and produce re-use quality wastewater and generate biogas. Historically anaerobic technologies have been used mainly for high strength wastewater, and have not been able to produce the same quality effluents as aerobic systems. This is changing. In the industrial setting, wastewaters are becoming more [...]

New TAG team member brings unique experience of the oil and gas business!
O2 Environmental is delighted to welcome John Veil as a new member of our TAG Team. John is an expert in managing oil and gas produced water, flowback water from shale gas development, hydraulic fracturing, and other energy industry water issues. John brings a unique experience and knowledge of the oil and gas business to the consortium. Through many years of attending meetings around the world, he is one of the few persons outside of the oil and gas companies themselves who has a working knowledge of U.S. onshore, U.S. offshore, and international oil and gas activities. John began his water career as a regulator in a state water pollution control agency. This experience allowed him to gain expertise in industrial processes, how water is used in those processes, technologies used to treat wastewater, and the importance of understanding regulatory requirements when selecting water technologies. He then spent 20 years [...]
