03.26.24 -- EPA Invests $24M In Pollution Prevention; How Do Energy Choices Influence Water Quality?

Regardless of the size of your treatment operation, water system or sewer network, leveraging advanced technologies to curtail energy costs, meet regulatory standards and optimize your workforce is critical to ensuring a sustainable future. Virtual Water Expo brings you a short list of solutions from some of the most innovative suppliers in the water and wastewater industry. Register today for Workforce, PFAS, Flow & Air: Tackling Your Biggest Operational Challenges happening April 10th.

Read about the most effective ways for utilities to leverage digital solutions to drive intelligent water asset management and capital planning decisions. 

Over the years, the water industry has gotten smarter and started coming up with ways of getting training services and support without calling out “training."

Flow meters can be built with the highest safety ratings, features, and functions, and the most industrially robust sensor technology, but if the calibration is inaccurate or subject to uncertainty then the device could produce unsatisfactory performance issues.

Microfiltration and ultrafiltration have become mainstays in the water treatment arena. These processes remove contaminants from water by passing it through a low-pressure membrane. Membrane filters are constructed with a variety of materials with various pore sizes. The challenge is determining which best suits the application with regard to performance, cost, and ease of operation.

In this case study, read about an underdrain system that continues to operate as expected after 16 years of operation and appears to be in perfect condition. 

Much-needed money for water infrastructure is here, and utilities must take action to secure, disburse, and implement the dollars efficiently and effectively.

This white paper shows how ozone can be used for the safe, effective removal of 1,4-dioxane from water. 

As water/wastewater municipalities are struggling to replace retiring technical personnel and support increasingly sophisticated automation technologies, they are finding well-staffed system integrators can provide the electrical, instrumentation, and controls support they need.

Current construction practices in the U.S. contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Sustainable construction aims to reduce energy consumption, minimize waste production, and lower a building's carbon footprint through solar energy, water-saving strategies, and carbon-neutral materials.

Power, energy, and industrial facilities often use chlorine-based oxidants in their process water to protect equipment and ensure water quality. However, these oxidants can be harmful to RO membranes and other chlorine-sensitive equipment, and even increase the available organic food source creating faster bacterial growth.

Lessons learned from building one of the largest smart meter networks in Europe.

The reactors of the UV disinfection series LBX are equipped with low-pressure/high-intensity UV lamps, which are arranged parallel to the water flow inside the reaction chamber.

CSM NF membranes are capable of selectively rejecting divalent ions, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Typical uses include production of food & beverage, dye recovery, and water softening and removal of specific impurities (i.e. color, DBP, THM) for potable use. CSM NF Membranes are constructed with either a polyamide or piperazine thin film layer and are available in various sizes.
