  • Understanding The Different Phosphorus Tests

    In wastewater treatment, phosphorus testing can quickly become confusing. For example, there are three different tests. So, which test was performed? Test results can be displayed in two different forms. So, which form was utilized? Tests can measure both particulate and dissolved phosphorus. So, was the sample filtered?

  • Measuring Low Limit Values For Orthophosphate Using The Phosphax Sc Low Range

    Tightening phosphate limits require high-precision monitoring to ensure compliance and economical chemical dosing. Refined photometric methods now offer superior accuracy at ultra-low ranges, providing the stable data necessary to optimize wastewater treatment processes.

  • On-Line EZ Series Phosphorus Analyzer Allows Peace Of Mind And Prevents Permit Violations

    Real-time nutrient monitoring allows wastewater facilities to detect industrial spikes and prevent permit violations. By utilizing automated, hourly sampling and dual-stream analysis, operators can optimize chemical dosing and maintain consistent effluent quality.

  • Return Activated Sludge Pumps

    Return activated sludge pumps are critical to wastewater treatment, maintaining biological balance, ensuring efficiency, and supporting resilient infrastructure amid aging systems and emerging contaminants.

  • Long-Term Cost Of Pump Oversizing

    Pump oversizing drives hidden costs through energy waste, reduced reliability, and increased wear, making proper sizing and modern controls critical for long-term efficiency and performance.

  • Danville One Year Update

    A next-gen submersible pump eliminated clogging at a high-demand lift station, reducing maintenance, cutting costs, and delivering reliable, clog-free wastewater performance for over a year.

Alex Shannon, Senior Vice President at WSP in the U.S., argues that water professionals largely understand what needs to be done — but limited funding, competing priorities, and complex governance slow action, making broad public and political buy‑in essential to truly prioritize and invest in water.

Alex Shannon, Senior VP and West Region Water Business Line Leader at WSP in the U.S., discusses how utilities are responding to rising risks by shifting away from rigid, one‑off solutions and toward modular, lifecycle‑based infrastructure planning that can adapt over time — helping manage costs while staying resilient amid evolving water challenges.

Karen Frost, Executive Director of The Water Council, highlights how industry associations can use shared Water Body Risk Assessment tools to identify common watershed challenges, prioritize collective pain points, and align technology solutions across multiple facilities for greater regional impact.
