03.27.26 -- A Promising Advance In PFAS Testing

Rising temperatures and precipitation combined with increasing nutrient runoff from human activity are elevating challenges in water treatment efforts. In some cases, that means increased threats to drinking water quality. In others, it means increasingly stringent nutrient discharge levels. Either way, taking the nutrient monitoring battle out to the field can help in waging a better fight at the treatment plant.

In a world where access to clean and safe water is increasingly vital, AquaKnight emerges as the steadfast guardian of clean drinking water in the ongoing battle against PFAS.

When Flint, Michigan discontinued purchasing water from the Detroit Water Authority and began using the Flint River as their raw water source, they unfortunately did not consider the potential impact on lead and copper corrosion and the impact on the public.

Wastewater treatment lagoons were originally facultative in design — shallow, single, and multi-cell lagoon systems that counted on wind, sunlight, anaerobic bacteria, and time for the digestion of the organic components of the wastewater.

Modernize aging water infrastructure without service interruptions. By installing strategic control points on live lines, municipalities can perform vital repairs and upgrades while maintaining full pressure and fire protection for the entire community.

Wastewater lift stations struggle with fats, oils, and grease (FOG) buildup, causing maintenance headaches. Continuous water agitation, like Kasco’s HydraForce, prevents grease accumulation, reduces chemical use, and improves pump efficiency.

In this article, we discuss the function of various types of chemicals used, and why we believe a FLEXFLO peristaltic dosing pump is the best choice to deliver those chemicals.

Like so much of America’s infrastructure, our wastewater infrastructure is aging and inadequate. Like our highways and bridges, our wastewater infrastructure needs improvement. How do we solve this problem?

Today’s wastewater stream is dramatically different than its content just a decade ago. Yet many municipal wastewater treatment plants are functioning under older designs and are not optimized for the new reality. There are solutions to attack the problem without the significant expense of a major system or plant overhaul.

Meter data management (MDM) systems transform raw AMI data into validated insights, enabling accurate billing, leak detection, and operational analytics while helping utilities manage growing data volumes securely and efficiently.

Wastewater treatment plants are complex, fast-moving systems. Flows fluctuate throughout the day. Loads vary with the weather and industrial activity. Equipment cycles on and off. Biological systems respond gradually, then suddenly.

In this article, we’ll break down myths vs. reality around data centers and water. We’ll clarify what “water usage” really means in this context, the types of cooling systems (from evaporative cooling towers to closed-loop recycled water systems), how much water is actually consumed vs. returned, and whether data center water use truly deprives communities of drinking water.
