DRINKING WATER TREATMENT RESOURCES

• 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.

• 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.

• Custom Tank Designs That Actively Manage PFAS Mass Transfer Zone (MTZ) — And Why It Matters More Than Ever

  As utilities prepare for the pending 4-ppt PFAS drinking water MCL, many are discovering that legacy lead/lag designs—workhorses for decades when treating contaminants in the ppm and ppb range—simply are not optimized for the parts per trillion-level (ppt) precision PFAS demands.

• Success Roadmap For Advanced Metering Infrastructure Installations

  For a water utility of any size to function properly, effective meter reading is a vital aspect of day-to-day operations. Meter reading supports both ends of the transaction, ensuring that water is being properly delivered, accounted for and billed each month.

• Engineered For Impact: The Carbon That Stands Out In PFAS Treatment

  Filtrasorb 400’s agglomerated pore structure and high volumetric capacity deliver unmatched PFAS removal, longer run times, and lower lifecycle costs—outperforming direct-activated carbons in real-world and lab testing.

• Legionella And The Need For Next-Generation Detection: Steps Water Utilities Can Take To Alleviate The Risk

  As water systems grow more complex and climate patterns shift, Legionella is emerging as one of the most persistent and underestimated risks in the built environment. The threat to public health from Legionnaires' disease will likely further escalate unless decisive action is taken.
• Ion Exchange (IX) Systems

  Ion exchange (IX) is a tried-and-true method of removing metals and other inorganic compounds from water. Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, selenium, radionuclides, and zinc are just a few examples of the compounds that our ion exchange systems have removed from water.
