02.20.26 -- A New Way To Transform Wastewater Into Phosphorus

The use of chlorine to treat and disinfect drinking water and wastewater has been in practice for decades, with the earliest recorded attempt dating all the way back to 1893. Since then, it has come a long way.

Peracetic acid (PAA) is begging to supplement or replace chlorine in some water and wastewater treatment applications, particularly where disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are a challenge.

Read how the Lunenburg Water District improved their water disinfection system with the installation of an Atlantium RZ300-11 HOD UV system. The system effectively disinfects water, meets future demands, and eliminates chlorine taste and odor.

A 30-inch-diameter, 160-year-old cast iron pipe was recently excavated and retired from gas service in Chicago, IL. Installed in 1859, this pipeline provided Chicago’s residents, fewer than 112,000 at the time, with reliable lighting at night. As the years passed, this cast-iron pipe continued to provide dependable gas service in the tough urban environment of downtown Chicago.

Discover why ductile iron pipe outperforms plastic for tapping, repairs, and long-term adaptability — delivering superior safety, strength, and reliability for modern water infrastructure.

Successful headworks investments depend on understanding site needs, matching technology to application, evaluating total cost of ownership, and choosing vendors that prioritize long-term performance and reliable support.

Jet aeration systems are extremely efficient due to their high alpha factor and clean water oxygen transfer performance. Proper start-up, operation, and maintenance will ensure reliable service and a long life.

Since high-speed blowers were initially introduced in the U.S. about 20 years ago, they have been helping wastewater treatment plant operators reduce energy costs — representing up to 60% of all plant operating costs.

Learn about filtering microplastics from industrial wastewater prior to discharge, and how this is one way to effectively reduce the volume of this waste material from entering our surface water.

Read about a non-invasive and non-intrusive technology that enables rapid inspection of large areas of a water distribution network without removing the pipelines from service, avoiding service interruptions, pipeline dewatering/cleaning, or costly excavations.

Learn how water utilities can reach their full potential by becoming more resilient, transparent, efficient, and sustainable.

Hydroinformatics offers a fresh perspective that is enabling communities around the world to tackle age-old problems in new ways and with a bigger toolset.
