Purofine™ PFA694EBF Buffered Resin For PFAS Treatment: Point-Of-Use (POU) And Point-Of-Entry (POE)
Traditional ion exchange media can disrupt water chemistry and increase pipe corrosion risks during startup. Buffered treatment solutions stabilize pH and mineral ratios immediately, delivering consistent, safe performance across intermittent residential usage.
PFAS-Selective Single-Use Ion Exchange Resin: Environmental Discharge And Remediation
Effective PFAS remediation demands precise prefiltration, controlled hydraulics, and optimized vessel configurations to prevent media fouling and premature contaminant breakthrough. Read the guide to implement best practices for maximum treatment efficiency.
PFAS-Selective Single-Use Ion Exchange Resin For Drinking Water Systems
Achieving reliable drinking water decontamination using selective single-use ion exchange media requires careful hydraulic management, targeted prefiltration, and proper lead-lag vessel engineering to protect media integrity, prevent premature breakthrough, and maintain consistent effluent quality.
Control Point Added To Airport Fire Suppression Line
Upgrading active fire protection lines in high-security facilities requires precision isolation without compromising system readiness. Live tap valve insertion creates permanent control points under line pressure, eliminating service disruptions during critical infrastructure overhauls.
Hydroelectric Facility Penstock Rehabilitation
Restoring century-old hydroelectric penstocks requires advanced trenchless techniques to resolve severe structural cracking and wall loss. Stand-alone composite liners restore full load-bearing capacity without reliance on deteriorated steel, extending asset lifespans while minimizing facility downtime.
Installation Of AVT EZ Valves To Support Creation Of Stormwater Retention Pond
Infrastructure modifications on active C900 PVC sewer mains require careful isolation to protect delicate pipe materials. Operating under live line pressure enables safe cutting debris removal while establishing permanent isolation points without triggering costly service shutdowns.

From Future Concept To Water Supply Reality

Jacqueline Mutter, National One Water Planning Lead for HDR, reflects on how potable reuse has evolved over the past decade from a long-range planning scenario into a critical water supply strategy.

Why Reuse Projects Succeed — Or Fail

Pranjali Kumar, Southeast Reuse Lead for Carollo, highlights the organizational realities behind successful reuse projects. While treatment technology gets much of the attention, she argues that strong leadership, cross-department collaboration, and project champions are often the factors that determine whether a project moves forward or stalls.

What's Driving The Reuse Boom?

Fred Gerringer, Water Reuse National Practice Leader at Brown and Caldwell, explains why water reuse is becoming increasingly common across the country. From water scarcity and stricter discharge regulations to growing demand from data centers and industry, he outlines the major drivers that will shape reuse adoption over the next decade.
