2nd Generation ATAD Provides High Quality Biosolids With Increased Capacity

Modernize solids handling with automated aerobic digestion to manage rapid community growth. This high-rate process increases capacity, ensures Class A compliance, and significantly reduces disposal costs while providing odor-free operations through advanced nutrient and off-gas management.

Testing For Yesterday's Water In A PFAS World

Relying on assumptions when designing water treatment systems creates unnecessary financial and operational risks. Adopting predictive modeling and data-driven testing provides the precise, actionable insights required to optimize performance, manage costs, and ensure compliance.

Satellite-Based Infrastructure Intelligence For Advanced Leak Detection Technology

Satellite-based radar technology allows water utilities to identify non-surfacing leaks that traditional methods often miss. By pinpointing underground moisture signatures, municipalities can significantly reduce non-revenue water and meet conservation goals through more efficient, data-driven field inspections.

What Small Municipal Utilities Get Wrong About 'Right-Sizing' Treatment Plants

Traditional wastewater plant design often relies on outdated flow assumptions, leading to oversized, inefficient systems. Prioritizing actual usage data and modular scalability ensures operational stability and fiscal responsibility, protecting small communities from the long-term burdens of overbuilt infrastructure.

Why Sherbrooke, Quebec Chose Pinnacle Zenith Ozone Generators To Boost Water Treatment Efficiency

Sherbrooke, Quebec upgraded its water treatment plant with Pinnacle’s Zenith ozone system, improving disinfection, reliability, energy efficiency, and operational savings while ensuring future scalability.

Using Historical Performance To Optimize Your Coagulation Control

Non-intrusive ultrasonic technology provides precise, bi-directional flow measurement without process downtime. By clamping onto the pipe exterior, these systems eliminate maintenance and pressure loss, offering a reliable, data-rich solution for complex water and wastewater monitoring environments.

Your Chlorine Sensor Is Lying to You — Here's 65 Days Of Proof

The operators at Compton Durville Water Treatment Works thought their chlorine dosing was under control. Their Siemens Depolox membrane sensor showed residuals right at setpoint. The PID loop was doing its job. On paper, everything looked fine. It wasn't. 

Actuators On Aeration Blower Valves Improve Dissolved Oxygen And Increase Overall Process Stability

Discover how installing Beck electric actuators on the aeration blower control valves has improved process stability and plant operations for a South Florida treatment plant.

Minimizing Aerated Wastewater Treatment System Servicing

Reliability is especially important in the wastewater treatment sector. One is that the blowers have to dependably operate in conditions that are often very harsh.

Boost Data Center Cooling With Endress+Hauser's Instrumentation

Discover how you can enhance cooling skid efficiency, reduce energy usage, and ensure sustainability with liquid analysis.

A Redefined Edge For Agentic AI: Converging Compute And Networking

Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase with agentic AI: autonomous systems that perceive, decide, act, and learn without constant human oversight, operating independently across distributed environments while collaborating with other agents in real time. This shift demands a fundamental rethinking of WAN infrastructure architecture.

Rethinking Aeration: Demand-Based DO Control And Energy Optimization

Aeration control strategies often remain conservative and static. Blowers operate continuously, oxygen levels are maintained near maximum, and airflow rates are rarely adjusted in response to real-time biological demand. The result is widespread over-aeration — a condition that does not improve treatment performance but significantly increases operating costs.
