SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Why Has Ion Exchange Become The PFAS Treatment Of Choice?

Regulated PFAS limits necessitate efficient, long-term treatment strategies. Ion exchange technology offers a high-capacity, small-footprint solution that outperforms traditional media. Learn how selective resins provide a cost-effective path to compliance and simplified utility operations.

AEC PFAS Removal System Reduces PFAS Contamination In New Jersey

This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of a new technology for removing PFAS from well water to below the EPA’s detection limits.

Aries Arsenic Reduction

Aries arsenic reduction cartridges utilize the advanced media technology of ResinTech ASM-10-HP. ASM-10-HP is a strongly basic hybrid anion exchange resin that is effective over the entire pH range of potable water.

Engineered For Impact: The Carbon That Stands Out In PFAS Treatment

Filtrasorb 400’s agglomerated pore structure and high volumetric capacity deliver unmatched PFAS removal, longer run times, and lower lifecycle costs — outperforming direct-activated carbons in real-world and lab testing.

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

Water Pipeline Rehabilitated With GeoSpray Geopolymer For SDCWA

Critical water tunnels require efficient structural renewal to meet strict shutdown schedules. Certified geopolymer mortar provides a cost-effective, high-strength solution that eliminates groundwater infiltration and improves water quality while ensuring a 70-year service life for essential aqueduct systems.

Iron, Manganese, And Arsenic Pilot Study In The Golden State (Loprest)

This report summarizes results and conclusions of a groundwater treatment pilot test program. This pilot test program was undertaken to demonstrate the effectiveness of water treatment products that employ oxidation and filtration to remove iron, manganese, and arsenic to levels well below MCLs. Operating data collected during the study will be used to confirm the design of full-scale facilities.

JICA Assisted Guwahati Water Supply Project

The water system for Guwahati, the largest city in the northeastern region of India, was originally built to harness the Brahmaputra River with a gravity-based distribution system. Unregulated development led to water supply problems, as well as high water pressure in 60% of the system.

Portable Parallel Analysis: Streamlining Distribution System Water Testing

A water quality specialist used the Hach SL1000 Parallel Portable Analyzer (PPA) to test six parameters simultaneously — all within about 8 minutes. Previously, the procedure took 20 minutes just for one parameter.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Featured Profiles In Brewery Wastewater Success

Stories of real success with packaged pumping and wastewater treatment systems at breweries are explored, including for regulatory compliance and/or water reuse capabilities. Packaged pumping and treatment systems have helped hundreds of brewers meet their permits for local collection and/or direct surface discharge.

New Turbocompressors Boost Efficiency At Wastewater Plant

Sulzer engineers helped a plant in the Netherlands cut its energy costs with a turnkey project. Now the plant’s owners have worked with Sulzer engineers to upgrade its existing units with three latest-generation machines.

Advancing Wastewater Treatment Through Specialized Bioaugmentation Solutions

Read about how new anaerobic treatment products address critical challenges in digester performance and biogas production.

Decreasing Lifecycle Costs: Don't Lose Dollars Chasing After Cents

This article explores some of the best practices to ensure overall station reliability, i.e., “total station efficiency,” in order to keep operating costs and downtime at a minimum.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

How Strategic Asset Planning Solves Infrastructure's Toughest Challenge

Modern infrastructure management requires moving from reactive repairs to data-driven capital planning. By quantifying risk and predictive failure patterns, utilities can justify essential funding and maximize the impact of every dollar spent on system-wide resilience.

Vassar WWTP Eliminates Rags To Protect Equipment, Biosolids Quality

The Vassar Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Michigan confronted persistent challenges from non-dissolvable solids by adopting Duperon's Dual Auger System (DAS) to address these issues effectively.

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.

Remote Monitoring And Maintenance Through Digitalization

Siemens offers to our customers the ability to make both process measurements and remotely monitor the activity and health of instrumentation, whether or not you have a SCADA, PLC, or DCS system.
