Highlights from the past week
------------------------------------------------------

Nebraska regulators have decided that the state's biggest river isn't 
quite fully allocated...yet:

A new factory in Menlo, Iowa, will turn corn cobs into fertilizer:

The USDA thinks farmers are going to cut back on planting corn. That 
could mean more challenges for keeping the water clean:

The ongoing process of revising Iowa's water-quality standards may have 
just gotten even longer:

Featured product: PTFE-coated diffusers
------------------------------------------------------

With the attention suddenly being paid to the dual interests of better 
water quality in the natural environment and energy-efficient "green 
projects," we are pleased to tell people about the PTFE-coated aeration 
diffusers available from SSI. These diffusers start with an EPDM rubber 
base layer, but use a special process to add a non-stick PTFE coating. 
This makes the diffusers powerfully resistant to fouling; as a result, 
they are not only more effective at encouraging oxygen transfer to the 
water (improving the quality of the treated water), they use less energy 
than dirty ceramic diffusers or even membrane diffusers without the same 
non-stick coating. A clean diffuser is an efficient diffuser, and when 
you can keep the diffuser clean without having to scrub it (or attack it 
with dangerous doses of hazardous chlorine gas), everybody wins.
