The use of oxygen concentrators in the water treatment process helps increase the overall concentration of pure oxygen in the water, expelling impurities and contaminants. OSI's oxygen concentrators are portable and adaptable to your needs. Implementing our oxygen concentrators allows facilities to meet production demands without compromising on space or power With the concept of "integrated water environment management model oriented to watershed coordination", FPI group strengthens water quality target management, grasps the business line of water environment management, implements refined management with watershed control unit as the carrier, and creates multi-dimensional correlation analysis models for water quality sections, river systems, control sections, river outfalls and pollution The Situation: A major pipeline company has large storage tank farms throughout the Western States.
The pipeline company transports, stores, blends additives, and distributes gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel to retail service stations and airports. Due to the quantity and movement of fuel at these facilities, there is always the potential for fuel spills. These facilities prevent out of compliance discharge by capturing all stormwater in storm drains, which is then sent to treatment systems prior to discharge. Modern intelligent traffic systems are designed to move traffic in an efficient manner as well as reduce the environmental impact of traffic on nearby populations.

What is Pollution Prevention? Incorporating Pollution Prevention in Industrial Waste Management The three elements of P2 in relation to industrial waste management include source reduction, recycling , and waste treatment. Many manufacturing companies employ various methods of source reduction that enhance their waste management strategy: Technological modification such as upgrading equipment is an effective way of reduction.
For example, a paint manufacturing company replaced its four-tank cartridge filler with one that completely empties the source tanks to prevent industrial waste disposal of the 'bottom of tank' materials. Having a clean, organized facility and effective inventory control also works well. Some aircraft manufacturing plants replace their single-walled vertical tanks with double-walled horizontal tanks which significantly reduces accidents from chemical spills and in turn reduces the waste generated by the plant.
Reformulating and redesigning your required materials. For instance, using alternate materials with lower risk waste is a way to ensure that less waste is generated. For example, some medical instrument manufacturers have substituted Lead with non-leaded compounds in their PCB manufacturing. While this may not be a possibility for you, it is important to think of points in manufacturing that these changes can be made without affecting waste production in other stages.
Physical treatment changes the physical properties size, shape, or state of the waste but does not affect the chemical properties. Chemical treatment alters the chemical composition of the waste by treating it with different chemicals that cause various reactions. Biological treatment is when the waste is exposed to organisms that can decompose organic components into simpler organic products and biomass.
The organisms can break down the waste in the presence or absence of oxygen, aerobic, or anaerobic, respectively. Exploring Waste Management Technologies All this information seems daunting at first glance, but the benefits mentioned above are worth generating an effective waste management strategy that incorporates pollution prevention.

The purpose of this manual is to provide interested stakeholders with the resources necessary to establish a successful paint reuse program and to provide existing reuse programs with best practices for more effective operations.
The manual outlines various program models along with benefits and perceived barriers to starting reuse programs; highlights successful programs already in place; describes the factors that must be considered when starting a reuse program; and links the user to more detailed resources for particular programs. EPA's manual covers all of the details involved in maintaining a consistent and comprehensive office recycling program, and can serve as a model for other agencies.

EPA's Green Infrastructure Webcast Series Web-based, On Demand This webcast series is for public officials and practitioners beginning to implement green infrastructure, as well as for those looking to enhance established programs. Initiated in , the Series has featured leading academics and professionals from around the country sharing their expertise on a range of topics related to green infrastructure.
Exploring the Link Between Green Infrastructure and Air Quality Web-based, On Demand While green infrastructure can help communities manage stormwater, using vegetated systems like green roofs and tree barriers can also help improve air quality and reduce urban heat island effects.
These practices shade building surfaces, deflect radiation from the sun, and release moisture into the atmosphere. Additionally, natural features such as urban forests and vegetative barriers planted near roads, parking lots, and city centers, help reduce the impact of vehicle emissions and improve local air quality.
Green infrastructure can assist in the reduction of particulate pollution and ground-level ozone as well as provide public health benefits.
In this webcast, speakers from EPA's Office of Research and Development and Office of Atmospheric Programs discussed innovative research into the multiple benefits of green infrastructure and explore the nexus between green infrastrucutre and air quality.
This webinar was originally presented on August 9, Federal Food Recovery Opportunities and Planning How to Meet EO Objectives Web-based, On Demand This presentation available will outline why federal food purchasing matters, how to include food recovery into strategic planning and food service contracts and leases, and provide examples of how federal and concessioner partnerships successfully contribute to food recovery.

Tree function in stormwater biofilters: The Green in Green Infrastructure Web-based, On-Demand Trees have many important functions within the urban environment including air quality improvement, wildlife habitat, and mitigation of the heat island effect; however, their contribution to green infrastructure, such as bioretention, is not well understood.
There is a critical need to understand the health and role of trees in these systems to enable urban foresters and engineers to select the most appropriate plant material to maximize functionality of natural stormwater treatment systems. Though laboratory and field studies, the goal of this project was to demonstrate the role of trees in bioretention areas, and to make recommendations regarding system design and tree species selection to maximize both bioretention area functionality and tree health.

The Pollution Prevention Act focused industry, government, and public attention on reducing the amount of pollution through cost-effective changes in production, operation, and raw materials use.
Opportunities for source reduction are often not realized because of existing regulations, and the industrial resources required for compliance, focus on treatment and disposal. Source reduction is fundamentally different and more desirable than waste management or pollution control. A voluntary product stewardship agreement achieved through multistakeholder dialogue.
