Water treatment

million “shade balls” have been placed in the 175-acre reservoir. The balls were implemented to cool the water and provide shade. This helps fight the promotion of algae, bacterial growth, and chemical reactions that spread harmful substances. Created by LADWP biologist, Brian White, shade balls were inspired by “bird balls” used to prevent birds in ponds along runways. Shade balls are filled with water, encompassed by black polyethylene so that they do not blow away. Their outer coating…

order to reduce water usage in its plants Coca Cola has developed the goal of improving water efficiency in its plants by 25% by the year 2020.In order to achieve this goal Coca Cola India has been making significant investments in best in class technology and optimizing the water use in its processes The results has been reduction in the water usage ratio i.e. the water consumed per liter of beverage produced from 2.12 to 1.97 within three years from 2012 to 2014 Figure 1: Water Consumption…

attempts should be made to contain and dispose of runoff water (Maniscalco & Christen, 2011). Emergency managers should take into account the material the ground is made of and its porosity (Maniscalco & Christen, 2011).…

Ointments Ointments are semisolids expected for external application to the skin or mucous layers. They typically contain lower than 20% water and volatiles and more than 50% hydrocarbons, waxes, or polyols as the vehicle. Ointment bases known for use as vehicles fall into four general classes: hydrocarbon bases, absorption bases, water-removable bases, and water-soluble bases. Each therapeutic ointment has its base one of these four general classes. • Hydrocarbon Bases: They are called…

sanitation. The bad sanitation led to a very dirty city with diseases flourishing, along with a sewer system that was leaking into the drinking wells. John Snow is a physician/anesthesiologist who first makes the link between Cholera and drinking water after studying previous cases. Snow founds the epidemiology center for the city but struggles with medical technology not being very advanced at the time and only being able to look upon incorrect means of disease transmission. Cholera attacked…

whose waters transverse two different countries: Mexico and the United States. As any such large body of water between two large civilizations, the Rio Grande serves both as a water supply, a method to dispose of waste, and a source of dispute between the two nations in regards to regulation. The area of the river around Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, a highly populated region, unfortunately it is plagued by large populations of bacteria due to years of inadequate waste treatment.…

hydrostatic pressure to preserve foods is the first truly new method of preserving foods since Nicolas Appert developed the use of heat to preserve foods in sealed glass bottles over 200 years ago. High pressure does not depend on heat, chemicals, reduced water activity, or reduced temperatures to control pathogens or spoilage microorganisms. Pressures in the range of 200-600 MPa have been found to unfold proteins so that they lose their biological functions as cell wall membranes and enzymes…

these issues is to experiment with new water-free or water-reducing processes such as RocketFrac, a Canadian company that is testing rocket fuel in wells to eliminate water and use hydrocarbons to extract hydrocarbons. In May 2017 RocketFrac hired a former NASA Senior Executive to be their new CFO after raising $3.1 million dollars to begin testing their theories. Although Canadian based GasFrac, who used propane based gas and a gel to eliminate the use of water did not do so well as they…

influence in the oxidative activity when the potatoes are cut causing it to become brown in color (Vitti M.C et. al, 2011). Potatoes are not encouraged to be sun-dried as the slow process of removal of water will induce the growth of fungal on the food's surface (Faisal. S et.al, 2013). Blanching treatments or osmotic dehydration method where the highly perishable foods such as fruits and vegetables or in this case, potato, are immersed in the concentrated solutions to produce intermediate…

Plants undergo both primary and secondary growth, those being vertically and in girth, respectively. However, plant growth differs from human growth in that plant growth is the result of external factors such as optimal soil conditions, sunlight, water, as well as internal factors such as hormones. Hormones can be defined as molecular signals, which are produced in small amounts by one part of an organism’s body. These molecules are then transported to other parts of the body where they bind to…
