DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• 5 Misconceptions About PFAS Removal Technologies

  This article will explore five common misconceptions about GAC and IX technologies for PFAS removal, helping utilities choose effective, site-specific treatment strategies for contaminated drinking water.

• Seawater Desalination Using RO Membranes To Support A Thriving Agricultural Economy

  As the agriculture economy boomed, needs for freshwater demanded by irrigation, tourism and the local community also grew in Campo de Dalías, a coastal region on the Mediterranean Sea. As a result, the region faced overexploitation of groundwater aquifers. Read the full case study to learn how Toray was selected as the sole membrane supplier for a two-pass system for a newly implemented national desalination plan.

• Case Study Report For Z-88® Radium Removal – City of Bridgeton, NJ

  WRT’s Z-88® Radium Removal treatment system was selected to remove high concentrations of radium in two treatment facilities for the City of Bridgeton, NJ.  Both treatment facilities are now producing safer drinking water since the installation of the Z-88® Radium Removal treatment systems in 2009 and 2010.

• The Role Of pH Measurement During Coagulation

  In the wastewater treatment industry, coagulation has become one of the most widespread processes for effectively separating contaminants and effluent. But coagulation is a complicated and sensitive process, one that alters the chemical balance of the wastewater in order to strip it of unwanted constituents. As in many such processes, pH plays a critical role, and treatment professionals must analyze it closely if they want to properly coagulate their product.

• An Affordable Greywater Treatment And Reuse Solution For Commercial Properties

  The Boy Scouts of America wanted an environmentally friendly method for disposing of the greywater generated by their shower buildings. Here’s how Orenco’s AdvanTex Treatment Systems helped.

• Active Mixing Solves Water Tank Problems

  Adding one component to water storage tank systems can go a long way toward solving many tank integrity and longevity and water quality problems. Kasco Marine examines how.

• Lightning Fast Response Prevents Extended Down Time

  The City of Gordon Texas’s drinking water facility was struck by lightning. Thinking long term, and desiring the latest technology available, the City took this opportunity to upgrade their on-line instrumentation with a range of new continuous monitoring on-line instruments including chlorine analyzers, pH monitoring, temperature monitoring, and turbidity monitoring.

• Maintaining A Free Chlorine Residual In Your Distribution Systems

  Oftentimes, our first response to a taste and odor complaint is to test the water for a free chlorine residual. In this article, learn the major causes of increased chlorine residual and how to reduce it with active mixing.

• Chloramination Monitoring And Control

  Since the EPA has established that, together with free chlorine, monochloramine is a primary disinfectant, it has been possible to implement the process more intensively. Water that is treated with monochloramine has, depending on the source of the water, fewer problems concerning taste and odor than water treated with free chlorine. In addition, the chemically more stable monochloramine remains longer in the water, thus allowing a long-term disinfecting effect.

• Optimize Energy And Resource Usage

  Through the implementation of a WAGES (Water, Air, Gas, Electricity and Steam) monitoring solution, a brewery was able to optimize energy and resource usage while boosting capacity to meet the demands of U.S. customers. Water usage costs were reduced by 28%; the brewery’s carbon footprint was reduced creating a savings of $2 million/year from CO2 recovery; compressed air usage was reduced by 15%; and fuel oil costs were reduced by $34,000.
