DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Why Water Infrastructure Should Be The Priority

  This article is in support of the Imagine a Day Without Water campaign — a national online movement to raise awareness about the value of water and water infrastructure. See more articles on AMERICAN’s Imagine a Day Without Water home page.

• Water Stressed City Looks At Opportunities To Reuse And Recycle Tertiary Treated Municipal Sewage For Cooling Tower Application

  Bengaluru, being a water stressed city, was looking at opportunities to reuse and recycle of tertiary treated municipal sewage for cooling tower application in a nearby power plant. Jakkur STP, being a 10 MLD plant based on conventional anaerobic + conventional activated sludge, was identified to supply about 15 MLD of recycled water for the power plant. The entire plant was designed and retrofitted as two process trains of 7.5 MLD. Read the full case study to learn more about why Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge technology (IFAS) was determined to be the best suitable upgrade.

• A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Wells: Improving Our Groundwater “Vision” With Electrical Resistivity Imaging

  We can often see how and where the water moves through the water cycle, like clouds releasing rain, which runs down a hillside into a stream. But things get a little more mysterious when that water soaks into the ground — where does it go and how does it move through the Earth?

• Featured Profiles In Brewery Wastewater Success

  Stories of real success with packaged pumping and wastewater treatment systems at breweries are explored, including for regulatory compliance and/or water reuse capabilities. Packaged pumping and treatment systems have helped hundreds of brewers meet their permits for local collection and/or direct surface discharge.

• How The Right Tools Are Boosting Consumer Engagement

  By some accounts, as much as 20 percent of water utility customers across the U.S. aren’t aware that they have an active water leak. Until those customers understand that a leak is negatively impacting their water bill, they will likely have little interest in the underlying data.

• Factoring Temperature Into Water Chemistry Reading Accuracy

  In water testing, readings that we believe to be reliable indicators are not always what they seem. Water that exhibits certain chemical or electrical characteristics at laboratory temperatures can provide entirely different readings in the field. Here is a quick review of what to look for in common water tests and why to consider automatic temperature compensation in the instruments used to collect them.

• OSG- On-Site Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) For Drinking Water Applications

  Drinking water treatment plants use various forms of chlorine to inactivate pathogens, oxidize metals or metalloids and provide disinfection residual for distribution systems. By Glen Smith, PEPCON Systems

• Sustainability: It's More Than A Buzzword; It's A Way Of Doing Business

  For water treatment decision-makers already sensitive to issues involving water scarcity, energy consumption, and environmental stewardship, the concept of sustainability is more than just a buzzword. It is becoming a means of survival in response to changing climate impacts, high energy costs, public scrutiny, and limited financial resources. Here is how better awareness, focus, and execution can make sustainability a reality.

• Water Utility Selects WEDECO Advanced Treatment Technologies To Purify Urban Runoff

  In February 2010, the Dempsey E. Benton Water Treatment Plant (DEBWTP) added 16 million gallons per day (MGD) of capacity to the water utility operated by the city of Raleigh, North Carolina.

• Applied Process Equipment Prepares Custom Engineered System For Sierra Lakes County

  Water supply from a mountain lake atop Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada Mountains was at risk of arsenic contamination. Here’s how Applied Process Equipment solved the problem.
