DRINKING WATER TREATMENT RESOURCES

• Filtration Media For Municipal, Industrial, And Landscape Water Treatment: Legacy And Novel Technologies

  The growing demand for water across a variety of sectors combined with the increasingly understood complexity of emerging contaminants is creating a dynamic marketplace for filtration media. The goal of selecting the right filtration media is not to meet minimum standards but to achieve the right balance of performance, durability, and operational simplicity to ensure long-term compliance and cost-effective operation.

• Ozone Formulas And Conversions

  Learn key ozone formulas, unit conversions, and measurement standards to accurately calculate generator output, concentration, and dosage for effective system design, performance verification, and safe operation.

• Persian Gulf Desalination Plants Could Become Military Targets In Regional War

  Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf region use the fossil fuels under their desert lands not only to make money, but also to make drinking water. The petroleum they produce powers more than 400 desalination plants, which turn seawater into drinkable water.
• 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.

• Reclaiming Water From Contaminated Brine Can Increase Water Supply And Reduce Environmental Harm

  People around the globe are trying to figure out how to save, conserve, and reuse water in a variety of ways, including reusing treated sewage wastewater and removing valuable salts from seawater. But for all the clean water they may produce, those processes leave behind a type of liquid called brine. I’m working on getting the water out of that potential source, too.
• Engineering Resilience In Water Supply: How Ozone-Based Oxidation Supports DC Water's Pure Water DC Vision

  Securing urban water futures requires shifting toward resilient, multi-source supplies. Advanced oxidation provides a critical barrier against emerging contaminants, enhancing treatment efficiency and ensuring long-term reliability without chemical residuals. Explore the foundations of engineering a decentralized, drought-proof water supply.

• Setting Global Standards: Inside North America's Only Full-Scale UV Disinfection Validation Facility

  Portland's industry-leading facility reaches 100 reactor validations in 23 years.
• Why Haven't Field Tests For Lead In Water Gone Mainstream?

  Given the maturation of sensor technology, the scientific and operational hurdles to portable lead analysis are somewhat surprising — but surmountable.
