Toilet To Tap – Perfecting Pretreatment For Direct Potable Reuse

Water scarcity and source water contamination concerns are fueling the growing interest in the practice of direct potable reuse (DPR) systems. DPR uses many of the same wastewater and drinking water treatment systems municipalities currently have in place, but instead of putting the treated wastewater back into the ground, the water is stored to be withdrawn as needed. This article addresses methods, challenges, and benefits of implementing DPR.

Disinfection Technologies: What’s The Right Choice?

Several steps are involved in treating wastewater so it meets regulatory requirements and can be reused or discharged. Disinfection is a critical step in the process. Disinfection kills or disables pathogens which may be harmful to humans, the ecosystem, or both. In this article we discuss four common disinfection methods: chlorine, peracetic acid, UV, and Ozone, including the pros and cons of each, to help you make an informed decision.

Ultrasonic vs. Coriolis Meters: Which Makes Sense In Your Application?

Flow meters are required in a variety of drinking and wastewater treatment applications. Among flow metering technologies, Coriolis meters are known for their extreme accuracy, often between +/-0.1% to 0.2%. However, this extreme accuracy comes with an extreme price tag. Before committing to such an investment, it’s important to know the pros and cons, and how these meters compare to more economically priced alternatives, such as Ultrasonic meters.
