CEO Matthew White made clear that this move will help build BW's global presence within the space, and increase their presence and service offering throughout the water value-chain, especially for the Pharmaceutical and Semiconductor sectors.

Amid a manufacturing boom, sustainability targets loom for the microelectronics industry. Boosting recovery rates is top of the agenda, but are fabs ready to take the leap into UPW reuse?

Advantages of producing memory chips in the upstate New York include the lower cost of American Energy and access to a large supply of fresh water.

Many chip companies are sharing data about water and energy usage in the manufacture of semiconductors and components.

Water as a critical input in the chip ecosystem was especially highlighted during the 2021 drought, and government diversion of water from farmers to chip makers had attendant negative spillover on the agricultural sector.

Ultrapure Water is not your average H2O. It's water that's so pure, you're more likely to win the lottery than find a non-water molecule in it. While UPW is used in various industries like pharmaceuticals, it's most widely used in semiconductor manufacturing.

Researchers discover trailblazing method to transform contaminated water into valuable chemicals using engineered bacteria.

As servers process data, they need lot of water to keep them cool. But if demand grows as expected, the world will need 10-20 times more data centers by 2035, and they’ll be using far more water.

In its latest environmental report, Microsoft disclosed that its global water consumption spiked 34% from 2021 to 2022 (to nearly 1.7 billion gallons, or more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools), a sharp increase compared to previous years that outside researchers tie to its AI research.

Saur has signed an agreement to acquire Natural Systems Utilities (NSU), a provider of turnkey water treatment and reuse solutions in the US with over 270 systems and a focus on distributed wastewater treatment and direct water reuse solutions.

SKion Water this week boosted its flowsheet in the Indian high-purity water systems market by acquiring a 51% stake in Sanpure Systems, which has a reference base of more than 600 installations, chiefly for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical applications.

Water reuse is a vital component of the food manufacturing industry's journey toward sustainability. As the demand for food continues to rise, so too does the need for responsible water management practices.

Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company is investing in packaging and water-reduction efforts at a site in the UK.

In water and wastewater management, two critical sectors, malt brewing, and soft drink production, have undergone significant transformations.

Major corporations in water-guzzling industries such as clothing, food, beverage and technology want to be better stewards of the freshwater they use — especially as drought, floods and other extreme weather intensified by climate change threaten their supply chains. But of 72 companies ranked by a sustainability nonprofit over the past year, few are close to achieving their 2030 targets.

The US EPA has commissioned a new study into investment tax credits for industrial water reuse applications – a mechanism designed to incentivise circular water use for industries.

There hasn't been an opportunity for civil infrastructure folks to make an impact on the US space program at this scale since NASA's development on the FL Space Coast in the 60's.

SpaceX has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for a permit to release an average of up to 200,000 gallons of treated wastewater per day into South Bay at Boca Chica.

The rankings are based on a survey of corporate site selectors, qualified projects logged in the publications' projects database and independent measures of attractiveness to capital investors — so many professionals have high regard for this list.

The early access program will enable ZwitterCo to partner with some customers and manufacturers for field applications before the organic fouling-immune product’s commercial launch in 2024.

Stantec will play a key role in supporting Codelco’s Tailings Project Management Office on projects associated with the company’s active tailings deposits. The team will review engineering deliverables, documents, and plans developed by third parties. Stantec will also provide professional and engineering services as well as building information modelling (BIM) management.

The U.S. Geological Survey has allocated $2 million to 14 states to map locations of mine tailings and study their potential for critical minerals contained within. Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the study aims to give the mining residue a second chance of providing raw materials needed for, among other fields, electric vehicles and renewable energies.

When it comes to the mining industry, tailings are a topic that often falls under the radar, except when disaster strikes. Yet, in recent years, the world has witnessed the devastating consequences of tailings dam failures, reminding us that we can no longer afford to overlook this critical aspect of mining operations.

Dr Brendan Duprey outlines how Kazakhstan is employing innovative solutions to reduce air and water pollution caused by mining tailings.

For a while, it worked. The trend toward ESG investing was praised as a marriage of the marketplace and corporate responsibility. As a public relations ploy, it was magnificent. As an investment strategy, the data quickly showed it was less than impressive.
