Water reclamation and desalination have become essential in meeting the increasingly critical global water demand by expanding water resources to impaired waters. Membrane technologies are becoming frontiers in meeting the urgent need for potable and high purity water for various emerging municipal and industrial applications. These are the main dr...

To protect critical structures such as bridges, roads, buildings, aircraft, pipelines and wind turbines, reliable monitoring systems are required. Different types of sensor technologies are constantly being explored and improvements are done to enhance the performance of such sensors for structural health monitoring applications. This research serv...

This research service evaluates the key trends in water quality sensors market. Assessment of existing and emerging sensing technologies for evaluating key parameters such as dissolved oxygen, chlorine, turbidity and pH are provided in the report. Impact of factors influencing the adoption of sensor technologies in water quality monitoring has been...

This research service identifies six technologies that are poised to have a profound impact on the environmental sector in 2012 and 2013.

This studys research objective was to gauge the usage of building technologies (BT) within U.S. retail chains with at least five stores. Data was collected in August 2011 using Web-based survey, which sampled 182 U.S. managers. Retailers were familiar with all BT the survey contained, but technologies most commonly employed included fire suppress...

This studys research objective is to gauge the usage of building technologies and physical security technologies within United States retail chains. The data was collected in August 2011, using a web-based survey. The sample consisted of 182 managers. The study examines technologies including access control systems: keypads, card readers, and ana...

The aim of this research service is to analyze the types of wastes managing techniques that could be employed in order to reduce, recycle and reuse them so that environment impact is lowered and the emission of poisonous and greenhouse gases are relatively reduced. This research study provides an overview of waste management techniques employed in ...

Awareness of smart grid technology is low to moderate, yet awareness likely does not stem from electric utility companies. Consistent with the 2009 study results, only a few of the residential energy consumers are aware of smart grid technology. However, only very few respondents are aware of any efforts by their electric utility companies to intro...

Decentralized water and wastewater treatment Decentralized water and wastewater treatment is an onsite treatment system which is used for treating small amounts of water and wastewater. Properly designed and managed these systems are a significant component of the water and wastewater infrastructure.
