Prospective buyers may have every reason to go to a website. All the
latest traffic-driving techniques may have been employed to drive them
there. And when they get there, they may find an attractive appearance
and easy navigation—but they quickly leave.
Why?
Because the content didn’t captivate them.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is placing stricter limits on the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in water treatment facilities. The new limits pose a serious challenge to plant operators because the most critical (highest) areas of the water system must be sampled and each site must stand independent of system-wide averaging.

For about 50 years, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were commonly used in industrial
materials including, caulking, cutting oils, inks, paints and as dielectric fluids in electrical
equipment such as transformers and capacitors. Concerns over health effects led to a North
American ban of manufacturing PCBs in 1977. By the mid-1980s, an initiative was started to
clean up contaminated areas and to phase out PCB-containing equipment and products that
were still in use. This cleanup effort continues today.
The purpose of tuning loops is to reduce errors and thus provide more efficient operation that returns quickly
to steady-state efficiency after upsets, errors or changes in load. State-of-the-art manufacturers in process
and discrete industries have invested in advanced control software, manufacturing execution software and
modeling software to “tune” everything from control loops to supply chains, thus driving higher quality and
productivity.

White papers are one of the most misunderstood, miswritten and misused marketing tools available. While many companies think they need a white paper, few manage to write, design or use them to their full potential. This is unfortunate, because – written and applied well – white papers are one of the most powerful tools in the sales and marketing toolkit.
On March 18 and 19, 2009, Sandia National Laboratories
and the University of California San Diego
Sustainability Solutions Institute brought together 27 leaders from academia, government,
and the private sector to discuss key energy
policy issues and proposed values- and outcomes-based
approaches to energy policy. The goal of the
workshop was to bring together leaders from diverse
backgrounds to identify promising areas for energy
policy, based on the understanding of intersecting
issues, assumptions, and priorities from the national
security, economic, and environmental perspectives.
With a credit crisis more serious than any seen in several generations, and the
associated deep economic recession from which we still have not managed to extricate ourselves, equity
valuations across all industrial sectors have fallen sharply – even with some recent recovery. At Summit
Global Management, we believe that while these circumstances have undeniably caused widespread fear
and uncertainty, they have also created an unprecedented opportunity for investors interested in the global
water industry.
This report responds to a request to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) from Chairman Henry Waxman and Chairman Edward Markey for an analysis of H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACESA).1 ACESA, as passed by the House of Representatives on June 26, 2009, is a complex bill that regulates emissions of greenhouse gases through market-based mechanisms, efficiency programs, and economic incentives.
Solar thermal energy appears poised for a renaissance in the
United States, as the Obama Administration presses forward with
its green energy agenda. But the revival could be short-lived unless
solar hot systems are maintained properly.
Process Analytics and Intelligence—sometimes called Manufacturing Intelligence—has transformed the way companies produce goods, understand their manufacturing processes, and ensure a quality product in ways we could not have foreseen ten years ago.
