How will you abate / mitigate/ resolve Total Disolved Solids of Effluents from the Mining Industry .?

Mining Effluents normally are acidic with pH values lower than 5. Treating it with lime solves the problem however it increase the concentration of Total Disolved Solids resulting to the exceedance of Water Quality Standards. Putting up a filtration process is not economically feasible since the wastewater / effluent volume ranges from 25,000 to 30,000 cubic meters. Establishing or amending the effluent standard would take sometime as all the criteria , environmental & ecological and health impacts must be evaluated and assessed. Time is of the essence as it will affect the socio-economic impact of the mining industry and the ecology and environment as a whole.

Bigger Oil Filter for a 2006 Nissan Maxima?

My 2006 Maxima has a tiny oil filter Fram# PH6607). I was wondering if anyone has interchangeable larger oil filter part number. I would definitely feel it would be an improvement to add filtration to this small oil capacity of this engine.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, I did not get an answer from the forum. My research finds that both the Fram 6607 &7317 series filters are 20mm X 1.5mm Th’d. The 7317 is .8" taller than the Nissan specified 6607. Manufacturers are using smaller oil filters for EPA regulations. One simple fact remains is larger the filter, the larger the capacity will be. I may not be a "Nissan Engineer"; I am an Engineer by profession with an Aerospace, & Nuclear background. These are the factual findings, not just an opinion.
