Thermal Reactivation Series: Calcium Catalysis

Understanding the impact of pore size distribution on adsorption is crucial for water utilities aiming to optimize PFAS removal.

Disinfection For Drinking Water Plant In Chennai, India

The Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) encountered significant challenges in treating high algae loads at its drinking water plant, which processes 1.5 million liters of water daily. The primary issue arose from the organic load in lake water, which, when treated with conventional chlorine disinfectants, resulted in harmful disinfection byproducts (DBPs).

Game-Changing Technology For PFAS Reduction

Because the carbon-fluorine bond is one of the shortest and strongest chemical bonds, PFAS are a persistent problem once introduced into the environment. Activated carbon and ion exchange (IX) resin are two of the commonly used technologies to remove PFAS from groundwater and surface water. Each technology has its own merits and drawbacks, requiring further evaluation on a case-by-case basis.

Panametrics' Technology Proves Key In Supporting Serbia's Flood Prevention Strategy

A water management company in Serbia used Panametrics' ultrasonic flow meter technology for stormwater management, ensuring reliable measurement and accuracy in challenging conditions. The technology allowed for live monitoring of water transfer and reduced the risk of flooding.
