Canadian oil refinery to reuse 100% of water GE has announced that an oil refinery in Saskatchewan, Canada is installing its advanced water recycling technology which will enable the refinery to clean 100% of its wastewater on-site. Once the technology is fully operational, the Co-op Refinery Complex in Regina, Saskatchewan, will be the only refinery in North America to recycle all of its wastewater for steam production, which is used for heating, hydrogen production, to power equipment and for cooling towers. Several years ago the refinery expanded its operations to produce 30,000 more barrels of oil per day (BPD) which increased its water usage. The refinery’s current water source is a blend of well water and city water, and restrictions on water use mandated
that the Co-op Refinery Complex had to find a new source of water. GE combined its ZeeWeed* membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology and a high-efficiency reverse osmosis system to recycle and reuse two million gallons of wastewater a day. In addition to the water reuse solution, GE provides the refinery with wastewater specialty chemicals and monitoring solutions to provide system optimization. www.ge.com

result in reduced machine cleanouts and reduced machine downtime. Improved coolant life and reduced machine wear help to minimize coolant and maintenance costs and a cleaner and more efficient coolant leads to improved part finish.
After extensive development and testing, the company says that SFcompact is a completely new approach to fine filtration. As its name suggests it is compact and also has self-cleaning filtration to 50 microns, easy handling of most materials and chip types plus a modular design which makes for easy maintenance and low energy consumption.
The SFcompact will also be showcased at AMB in Stuttgart from 13 -17 September 2016, at BIMU in Milan from 4 - 8 October and at PRODEX in Basel from 15 18 November 2016. www.lns-group.com
The SFcompact allows users to improve their filtration efficiency which affects the entire production process. Less chips in the tank
IVPower software analyzes faults and provides system monitoring Call for papers MEMDES 2017 French company NetCeler, which provides power system monitoring, exhibited its IVPower web-based software at CIGRE 2016, the biennial forum of the electrical power industry held this year in Paris. The IVPower software for fault analysis and power system monitoring, is designed to complement power system protection and control systems by providing a detailed view of power system disturbances. It uses disturbance recordings and event logs as the main sources of data. Analogue signals of the disturbance recordings are used to perform automatic fault detection and analysis at power system level. Status changes of process signals in the event logs complement the binary signals of the disturbance recordings and together they allow analysis of the behaviour of protection relays and circuit breakers. www.filtsep.com
This IVPower provides optimum reactance-based fault location using measurements from one, two, or more terminals of power lines or cables. A few minutes after a fault, IVPower can provide timesensitive and crucial information needed for remedial actions to operators and experts by email or text message. www.netceler.com
Conference organisers are asking participants to present their research, both abstracts and oral submissions, by 14 October 2016 for the 3rd International Conference on Desalination using Membrane Technology (MEMDES). MEMDES will take place from 2 – 5 April 2017 at the Palacio de Congresos de Canarias, Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain and there is an early bird registration deadline of 20 January 2017. Sustainable development of effective desalination processes can make a major contribution to meeting the demand for drinking water, and membrane desalination is the most promising of the new approaches. However,

the technology raises a number of energy efficiency as well as environmental and sustainability issues and all will be covered at this conference. There will be discussion of cutting edge research, both theoretical and applied research as well as technological and industrial development. Among the participants are leading academic researchers, scientists and engineers from membrane desalination and associated industries as well as representatives of government organizations, international agencies and aid organizations. www.desalinationusingmembrane. com
