• How One Town Saved Money And Energy With A Switch To Peristaltic Metering Pumps

  The Bellevue Water Treatment Plant originally installed costly peristaltic metering pumps to inject the many chemicals used to treat the raw water.  Although these pumps were performing satisfactorily, they required frequent maintenance and expensive parts replacement, resulting in increased costs and downtime. In addition, tubing was especially difficult to order due to problems locating sales representatives, long lead times, and high prices.

• Innovative Technologies For Nitrate Treatment

  Conventional nitrate treatment equipment tends to generate a waste-handling issue that can be a challenge to many utilities. The emergence of innovative technologies in drinking water treatment has led to more sustainable approaches for the reduction of nitrate.

• How Community Growth And Other Changes Are Driving The Need For Expert Ongoing Field Support

  The process of launching a municipal drinking water treatment operation can take years. In the end, a community is left with a complex system, an operations and maintenance manual, and a well-trained staff. Many communities are extremely well versed in the functions and operation of their treatment for the specific parameters for which it was built. However, as time goes on, plant managers and operators increasingly have a need for outside assistance.

• Union Township, NJ Automates Pump Station With TASKMASTER®

  Union Township, New Jersey was having a lot of trouble with their pump station. Although a small pump station, it was extremely cumbersome to maintain. The station was using a trash basket with a ladder and rail system to screen solids. This was extremely time-consuming, used an excess of manpower and proved to be ineffective at times. They knew they needed a better solution.

• A Methodical Approach To Contaminants Of Emerging Concern

  Municipal water utilities and industrial operations are increasingly plagued with contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). Fortunately, ultraviolet advanced oxidation (UV AOP) is a proven technology to treat a variety of CECs, which makes it optimal as these chemicals are often detected at sites in multiples. However, designing a UV AOP system to treat multiple CECs is challenging because of the background water quality, differing reaction rates, and potential interactions.
