A conductivity meter calibration typically involves rinsing the probe, immersing it in standard solutions of known conductivity, adjusting the meter readings to match the standards, rinsing between standards, and verifying calibration with a final standard. Conductivity is a crucial parameter in water quality assessment, providing valuable insights into the ionic content of solutions. From environmental […]

Stormwater monitoring shows urban runoff’s hidden impact. It involves measuring turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, and pollutants like heavy metals, oils, and bacteria. This data provides information to assess ecosystem health, guide pollution prevention, and ensure that environmental regulations are being followed, safeguarding our waterways and protecting our communities.  Stormwater monitoring is a crucial aspect

Microfluidics enables precise manipulation of tiny fluid volumes, revolutionizing fields like drug discovery, cell biology, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnosis. This technology offers high precision, speed, and cost-effectiveness, driving innovations in lab-on-chip devices and organ-on-chip models for diverse scientific and industrial applications.  Microfluidics is the science and technology of manipulating and controlling fluids at the

Many types of meters and devices assess indoor air quality in your home. Some examples include particulate matter meters, CO2 meters, volatile organic compound detectors, and humidity meters.  Have you noticed the air inside your home becoming poor or making you sick? It is estimated that Americans spend up to 90% of their time indoors,

With seaweeds, aquatic vegetables and microalgae farming aquaculture plants, we can get a food source that will not pollute the environment and is rich in vitamins and other essential nutrients. Since these crops only require minimal freshwater supplies, fertilizers and land, they are considered to be a highly efficient use of resources. Through farming aquaculture

Shrimp farming is all about maintaining optimal water quality to achieve high productivity and survival rates. Important factors to look out for include dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia, nitrite, alkalinity, and temperature. Proper aeration, water exchange, and filtration can help control the quality of water. Excess nutrients and metabolic wastes can accumulate as well as disease

Controlled environment agriculture is an agricultural system where plants are grown within structures such as greenhouses or vertical farms, which can control environmental conditions like light, humidity, and temperature. It allows crops to be produced yearly with less water and fertilizers. We live in a world today where we can’t do without sustainable farming methods.

Produced water treatment involves a multi-step process that typically includes the initial separation of oil and suspended solids, followed by advanced treatment techniques tailored to the specific composition of the water. Common treatment methods include physical processes like filtration and adsorption, chemical treatments such as oxidation and precipitation, and biological processes harnessing the metabolic capabilities

Iron deficiency causes the yellowing of new leaves while veins stay green. To fix this, you can try methods such as applying chelated iron or iron sulfate around the plant base. Ensure soil pH is 6.0-6.5 for optimal iron uptake. Mulch and avoid over-watering. Early detection prevents stunted growth and reduced yields. As a gardener

When drilling and production operations are going on, produced water is the one that is obtained from underground formations with oil and natural gas. It comes from porous rock reservoirs with hydrocarbon resources. Consequently, more of this “formation water” will be produced as time goes by when wells deplete oil and gas. Produced water is
