• Rental Blowers: Contingency Planning For An Emergency

  Would your wastewater treatment plant be able to function during a sustained loss of its aeration capabilities caused by a flood or natural disaster? What if a fire destroyed the blower house? Being prepared with a contingency plan for temporary low-pressure air will help operators prevent panic, avoid costly decisions, and minimize impact when a crisis occurs.

• Overcoming Flow Measurement Challenges In Wet Gas And Open Stack, Rain-Down Installations

  Wet gas is a challenge to measure in a number of industries, including those with combustible gases that represent a safety hazard. In the laboratory, today’s air/gas flow sensors and measurement technologies operate at their highest accuracy and greatest reliability in air or gas free of moisture, droplets, particulates, etc. The real industrial world, however, is a much different environment where moisture can be entrapped in one form or another in air or gas flow streams with variable gas compositions and flow rates.

• Mastering The Application Of UV Advanced Oxidation Using Chlorine In California

  Installed at the Albert Robles Center (ARC) in California is the TrojanUVPhox™. Arranged in two parallel trains, the UV AOP system was designed to operate with sodium hypochlorite being injected into the treatment stream instead of more traditional hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). This is commonly referred to as a UV/chlorine or UV/Cl₂ approach to UV AOP.

• Fish Hatchery Chooses UV Disinfection (Case Study)

  Located on the Klamath River in Hornbrook, California, Iron Gate Hatchery is a salmon and steelhead hatchery that releases fish back to the Klamath River. Due to the presence of the fungus Saprolegnia sp and primarily bacteria Flavobacterium psychrophila and Metallogenium sp), hatchery yield was thwarted due to disease.

• Salmon Hatchery Upgrades Its UV Disinfection System (Case Study)

  While the facility was receiving awards and accolades for their aquaculture production, they were having challenges keeping their former UV system operating consistently and reliably. Spare parts were expensive and they often experienced periods of down-time, negatively affecting operations.

• Pandemics, Disasters, And Droughts: Why Transparency Is Key During Times Of Uncertainty

  Water and wastewater utilities are vital to our ability to have clean drinking water and mitigate waterborne diseases. However, operating efficiently while providing safe, quality services and staying compliant is no small feat. Add in a disaster, such as a fire, a drought, or an unforeseen global pandemic like COVID-19, and utilities must adapt to ever-changing conditions while maintaining the trust of the customers they serve. Maintaining that trust and customer goodwill is critical during times of crisis, and the only way to do so is through transparency
