DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Testing Better Paths To Contaminant Control

  As a utility, it is tough enough to be notified that you need to remove a new contaminant of emerging concern (CEC). It’s even harder without having a complete picture of what is involved. 

• Fast And Simple: The Benefits Of Remote Water Quality Monitoring

  Traditional water quality monitoring methods can be slow and labor-intensive. Remote distribution monitoring, using street-level telemetry systems, is becoming increasingly popular, providing near-real-time information and building trust with consumers.

• Case Study: Monitoring And Protecting Water Quality In Lake Mead, Nevada Lake Mead is one of several reservoirs along the Colorado River; however, due to increases in population and agricultural operations in recent decades, this once-expansive lake in the desert is becoming more compromised. While inflow into Lake Mead primarily is from the Colorado River, a small percent is also from rivers on the northern side of the Lake and from Las Vegas Wash on the northwest side. Las Vegas Wash transports treated municipal wastewater effluent, stormwater and urban runoff, and shallow groundwater seepage from the Las Vegas urban area to Boulder Basin in Lake Mead. Effluent flow rates have more than doubled in recent years, prompting concern over potential effects to reservoir water quality, especially since some of the water is pumped for the municipal water treatment plant at Saddle Island
• In-Situ Oxygenation System Enables Increase In Capacity For Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facility

  To increase capacity within the existing footprint of a wastewater treatment facility in Michigan, two existing tanks were converted to aeration tanks with pure-oxygen aeration provided by Praxair’s In-Situ Oxygenation (I-SOTM) System.

• Pasteurized Equivalent Water Treatment At Tnuva Ba'Emek, Israel

  In the heart of Israel’s Jezreel Valley, Ba’emek Advanced Technologies—part of the Tnuva Group—faced a critical challenge: how to sustainably reuse water extracted from whey during dairy processing without compromising safety or quality.

• Electrocoagulation Unlocked

  Despite electrocoagulation's demonstrated effectiveness, developing a reliable, low maintenance reactor with sufficient water processing volume has proven to be a significant engineering challenge.

• Why Reducing Non-Revenue Water Matters For Water Utilities

  In today's challenging environment, water utilities face mounting pressure to operate more efficiently while maintaining high service levels and managing aging infrastructure. At the heart of these challenges lies a critical issue: non-revenue water (NRW). 

• Australian City Installs Microclor On‐Site Sodium Hypochlorite Generation System

  Bathurst is the home of the Bathurst 1000 Race, the largest NASCAR-style “touring car” race in Australia. On race day, tens of thousands of additional visitors tax the capacity of the Bathurst 5 million-gallon-per- day wastewater treatment plant. The diligence and capability of the treatment staff allows the plant to meet the challenge every year. 

• Why Vessel Design Is The Ultimate Performance Driver For Media Filters

  Choosing the right media is only the first step. Vessel and underdrain design often determine whether filtration systems meet expectations — or quietly fall short over time.

• Santa Monica, CA Case Study The City of Santa Monica shut down the Charnock well fields in 1996 after finding methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) and later trichloroethylene (TCE) and 1,1-Dichloroethene (1,1-DCE) in the water.
