Achieving Sustainability and Positive ROI with UPW Reclaim and Reuse

Adaptive Reuse: Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Measures

Adaptive reuse offers significant opportunities for energy efficiency and sustainability in the built environment. Design of energy-efficient and high-performance adaptive reuse requires that building performance and simulations tools are used and integrated with the design process. The objectives of this research is to provide building researchers and practitioners with a better understanding ...

Analysis of bacteria contaminating ultrapure water in industrial systems.

Bacterial populations inhabiting ultrapure water (UPW) systems were investigated. The analyzed UPW systems included pilot scale, bench scale, and full size UPW plants employed in the semiconductor and other industries. Bacteria present in the polishing loop of the UPW systems were enumerated by both plate counts and epifluorescence microscopy. Assessment of bacterial presence in UPW by epifluor...

Role of Conservative Agriculture on the Sustainability of Soil structure in Achieving Sustainable Management

Conservative agriculture is considered as an alternative to tackle the need for increased agricultural production based on sustainable agriculture activities with the aim of increasing production and product stability along with preserving the environment. Tillage is one of the most important factors affecting soil structure. Selection of appropriate tillage systems varies according to the cond...

FINAL REPORT Title: Novel Anionic Clay Adsorbents for Boiler-Blow Down Waters Reclaim and Reuse

Organic compounds generated after the flow of water through micro-orifices: Were they synthesized?

Micro-fluid mechanics is an important area of research in modern fluid mechanics because of its many potential industrial and biological applications. However, the field is not fully understood yet. In previous work, when passing ultrapure water (UPW) in which air was dissolved (UPW*) through micro-orifices, we found that the flow velocity decreased and stopped over time, and membranes were fre...
