The membrane treatment
Article Abstract:
Technological innovations in pressure-driven membranes may provide the solutions to meeting water quality standards. Conventional ways of water treatment such as carbon filtration, granular media filtration and chlorine disinfection are no longer sufficient to meet the higher water quality standards demanded by consumers and imposed by the government to regulate microbiological pollutants and disinfection by-products. Advances in membrane processes have allowed them to be useful in water treatment aimed at a variety of applications.

Building a better fire boom by adding water
Article Abstract:
Research Planning Inc., of Columbia, SC, has developed a new water-cooled oil boom. The equipment is used in the burning of oil spills, a method which is relatively environmentally benign. The boom is used to restrain the oil so that it can be burned . The new Hydro Fire Boom is much more fire resistant than previous booms made of metal or ceramic. The new product is constructed of air-inflated bags cover with a special fabric which will soak up water.
