DRINKING WATER FILTRATION RESOURCES

• Rural Water Treatment Plant Reduces TTHMs And HAA5 With Ion Exchange

  Both rural and urban water systems experience dissolved organic carbon (DOC) — a precursor to halogenated organic compounds like total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAA5) — in source water. However, rural systems often struggle to find treatment options suited for smaller scale operations and budgets.

• New Research Could Extend Membrane Life And Lower Desalination Costs

  As water-scarce regions clamor for answers, developments in membrane anti-scaling bring desalination closer to viability.
• Silica Fouling In Reverse Osmosis Systems: Prevention And Treatment

  The control of silica fouling in reverse osmosis systems is crucial for maintaining system performance efficiency and longevity. It prevents costly downtime and membrane damage. This article provides practical knowledge on silica scaling in RO systems, its challenges, and effective control strategies.
• PVDF Ban: The Vitally Needed Catalyst For Accelerating Ceramic Membrane Adoption

  As Europe edges closer to regulating the production of PVDF membranes — key contributors to the toxic PFAS, 'forever chemicals' — the water industry finds itself at a critical crossroads.

• The Benefits Of Pretreatment Prior To Bulk Media Filtration Of PFAS

  Advantages include enhanced media bed life, reduced waste, minimized downtime, and improved overall system performance.
• Rapid Small-Scale Column Tests For PFAS Treatment Evaluation

  While pilot columns provide the most accurate estimations for predicting full-scale PFAS treatment performance by GAC or IX resin, they can be costly and time-consuming. Rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs) offer significant advantages over pilot columns, including less time, lower costs, less media, smaller sample volume, and faster data turnaround.

• PFAS Technology Options Provide Water Treatment Solutions

  Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) continue to dominate the conversation as an emerging contaminant of concern due to their potential for adverse human health effects and continued regulation. This group of chemicals can be found in a wide variety of consumer products and drinking water.
• AqueoUS Vets® Custom GAC Systems Offer Comprehensive Solution For PFAS And VOC Compound Removal For Golden State Water Company

  Serving California for more than 90 years, Golden State Water Company (GSWC) provides water service to more than 1 million customers in over 80 communities, including the City of Norwalk.

• Aqueous Vets® Quick Response Keeps Critical Stoneridge Well In Service In Northern California

  Zone 7 Water Agency is a water wholesaler in Northern California that serves more than a quarter million residents. Blending water from both surface and groundwater sources has enabled Zone 7 to address many emerging contaminant concerns over the past several years.
