  • The True Cost Of Non-Revenue Water: Why Every Utility Should Measure Water Loss

    Treating water requires significant energy and labor, but unmonitored infrastructure leaks and inaccurate customer meters quietly drain operational budgets. Identifying hidden losses and auditing system measurement protects revenue and optimizes long-term distribution performance.

  • Renting Or Buying Aeration Equipment: A Decision Framework

    Project duration, available capital, and operational risk can help wastewater facilities determine whether renting or purchasing an aeration blower is the better fit.

  • The Beck Story: Built To Last Since 1936

    Eliminate recurring equipment replacements and costly emergency downtime. Continuous-duty engineering delivers precise, long-term control under severe industrial conditions, lowering maintenance demands so facility operations remain uninterrupted and efficient year after year.

  • That Color Isn't Right – What Went Wrong?

    Chemical interferences during water testing can hide critical corrosion issues and fuel bacterial growth. Understanding colorimetric chemistry helps operators accurately identify testing anomalies, correct pH conditions, and protect cooling systems from bio-fouling.

  • How Central Arkansas Water Saves An Entire Shift's Worth Of An Operator's Time, Weekly

    Industrial cooling systems face costly risks from biofilm formation and microbiologically influenced corrosion. Establishing routine microbiological testing and trend analysis helps operators detect aggressive bacteria early, protect system integrity, and optimize chemical treatments.

  • A Commonsense Approach To Breaking The PFAS Cycle In Our World

    Managing global contamination requires balancing modern industrial dependence with environmental health. Targeted wastewater regulations, restricted use for non-essential applications, and sustainable remediation frameworks offer a pragmatic path forward without sacrificing vital technological advancements.
