APPLICATION-SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS ENHANCE STRAINER EFFICIENCY

eawater

For industrial plant managers, automatic scraper strainers are among the closest solutions to a true “set-and-forget” system, effectively removing both large and fine suspended solids from industrial water, cooling tower water, liquids, and slurries.  The basic design represents one of the most efficient and cost-effective industrial self-cleaning strainers available. The motorized unit is engineered for minimal maintenance and operator involvement and can remove solids as small as 75 microns. These strainers allow for continuous, uninterrupted flow, including during blowdown cycles.  Cleaning is performed by a spring-loaded blade and brush system…

Wastewater

Amit Kapur, Founder, Chairman & MD of NICO Nanobubble India Co. From Compliance to Competitive Advantage in Wastewater Treatment  Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants are no longer judged solely on discharge compliance. Today’s benchmarks extend to energy efficiency, footprint reduction, chemical minimisation, carbon intensity, reuse readiness, and resilience under fluctuating loads. Conventional process trains while proven are increasingly strained by tightening norms, rising power tariffs, land constraints, and sustainability mandates.  This is precisely where NICO Nanobubbles position itself not as a disruptive replacement, but as a high-impact process intensifier…

NAO WARNS ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION IS FAILING TO KEEP PACE, WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR WATER SECTOR

eawater

Environmental regulation in England is not operating as effectively or strategically as it should, risking poor environmental outcomes and weakening confidence in enforcement, according to a new report from the National Audit Office (NAO). The watchdog’s report, Environmental regulation, concludes that while regulators and Defra share clear objectives to protect the environment and minimise unnecessary burdens on business, weaknesses in data, skills, digital capability and strategic coordination are limiting their ability to regulate consistently and at scale. The findings are particularly relevant to the UK water and wastewater industry, which…

EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS MUST EVOLVE INTO TOOLS THAT ANTICIPATE FLOODING AND PROTECT LIVES

eawater

According to a report by Xylem Vue, these systems must be integrated as operational platforms within water management frameworks, automatically linked to the activation of emergency plans, municipal protocols, and interagency decision-making processes. Floods do not cause severe damage due to a lack of data. They cause it because there is not enough actionable time to make decisions and respond. May 20, 2026. Far from being understood as simple alert platforms, Early Warning Systems (EWS) must urgently evolve into operational systems for flood and extreme event management. This is highlighted…

THE HIDDEN OCEAN COST OF CARBON: WHY CLIMATE DAMAGE IS NEARLY TWICE AS HIGH AS WE THOUGHT

eawater

According to an international study featuring CMCC scientists, the true economic damage of climate change has been vastly underestimated – because the ocean has been left out of the equation.  By integrating the latest ocean science into climate-economic models, researchers found that accounting for climate impacts on marine ecosystems and ocean-dependent infrastructure nearly doubles the social cost of carbon. The hidden ocean cost is estimated at $48 per tonne of CO₂, a figure they say should be added to current policy calculations.  A new paper involving CMCC scientists Francesco Granella,…
