For federally funded projects, Vaughan pumps and pumping equipment meet all requirements to receive federal aid under the Build America, Buy America (BABA) act. Check out more on our homegrown reliability and remember that even as we are a global company with over 40 worldwide issued or pending patents, no matter where we ship pumps and equipment to, we are still Made in America. Stop by and let’s talk pumps at WEFTEC: Booth S-926!

SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Ion Exchange Resin Versus Granular Activated Carbon For Drinking Water Treatment

A cost-effective option for PFAS removal and MCL compliance is the addition of an ion exchange resin (IEX) treatment as a “bolt-on” to an existing DWTP.

BioLargo Takes PFAS Innovation To A New Level

Many factors go into picking the right PFAS treatment solution and there is no silver bullet, no “black box”.  And knowing what questions to ask for any particular system can vary state to state, depending on the influent water. 

Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) Filtration System For Arsenic Removal

The existing water treatment at the Toquepala Mine in Peru included only chemical disinfection to provide the local population with water only for non-potable purposes. An alternative solution was essential. 

AOPs And Industry: Guidelines For Effective Contaminant Removal

Using ozone and UV advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can help industrial facilities achieve compliance, but what's the right process for your application?

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

How To Cost-Effectively Increase Pumping Station Capacity

Early detection of leaks can preserve pumping station capacity. Full-profile insertion (FPI) mag meters can be installed near valves and bends, making them ideal for pumping stations.

AFC Hydrants And Valves With Alpha Joints Offer Time Savings And Efficiency For Somerville, Massachusetts

How does a contractor navigate the installation of new water and sewer mains in a neighborhood with heavy traffic, narrow roadways and extensive existing underground infrastructure? The answer is the ALPHA™ restrained joint by AMERICAN Flow Control.

Lift Station Upgrade Modernizes Outdated Technology At Mansfield, Ohio's Largest Pump Station

When the Park Avenue East Lift Station in Mansfield, Ohio, suffered recurring flooding due to failing valves, a bigger picture goal came into view: Build a new lift station.

Preserving Pressure, Protecting Service: Upgrading Hydrant Infrastructure In Kent County

When Kent County Water Authority faced the urgent replacement of a 94-year-old hydrant tied to a 1931 cast iron main, they were determined to maintain fire protection and avoid customer disruption.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Wastewater Treatment Trends For A More Efficient Plant

Efficiency is the name of the game for modern wastewater treatment plants. Unfortunately, many facilities were built decades ago and are becoming increasingly expensive to operate. Therefore, you may be looking for a way to upgrade your wastewater treatment plant to meet the latest standards.

Moving Toward Sustainability: Perfecting Wastewater Pretreatment For Direct Potable Reuse

This article will explain why pre-treatment is so important to direct potable reuse and the most important aspects of pre-treatment design.

Using Ozonation And Biologically Active Filtration To Remove Micropollutants

Ozonation and biologically active filtration (O3-BAF) is being increasingly used to address the issue of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater treatment and potable reuse.

Selecting The Optimal Blower For The Water Industry

In this white paper, we will drill down into which technology has particularly proven itself in terms of energy efficiency in the water industry.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Achieving Success: Leveraging The Manufacturer's Experience

What is the typical design life of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in North America? This is an important question to consider. Perhaps the better question to consider is: What is important to the operators and beneficiaries of a WWTP facility?

Nutter Fort Embraces Smart Water Technology For A Sustainable Future

Discover how Nutter Fort, WV, modernized its water infrastructure with smart metering technology, reducing water loss, cutting costs, and fostering sustainability in a close-knit community.

Improve Operational Efficiency And Capital Improvement Program Management

The City of Grand Rapids, MI sought out a partner to take responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the monitoring network including hardware, software, and data preparation.

Reducing Complexity In Data Center Cooling Temperature Measurements

Endress+Hauser’s iTHERM SurfaceLine TM611 non-invasive temperature measurement performs comparably to traditional industrial thermometers with an elegant mechanical innovation.
