SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Using Biological Competition To Suppress Algae Growth

Effective algae control shifts the focus from removal to nutrient management. By leveraging bioaugmentation to outcompete algae for nitrogen and phosphorus, facilities can stabilize pH levels and dissolved oxygen, ensuring long-term pond clarity and consistent wastewater treatment performance.

PFAS Removal System Proven Effective In Removing Both Long- And Short-Chain PFAS

A new system removed all nine PFAS compounds from a municipality's water to non-detect levels in a single pass. Unlike traditional methods, it addresses both long- and short-chain PFAS while generating minimal waste.

ASM-10-HP Application Note

ResinTech ASM-10-HP is a strongly basic hybrid anion exchange resin specially formulated to selectively remove arsenic.

The Importance Of Industrial Water Monitoring

Monitoring of water quality in industrial process is essential, and it has been proven that testing industrial waters on a regular basis can mitigate risks and system issues before they become problematic. This includes early detection of corrosion, scale, and biofouling.

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

How To Choose Among Wastewater Screen Options

Wastewater screening isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right choice depends on flow, debris, and efficiency needs, with long-term performance and maintenance costs shaping the best solution.

Return Activated Sludge Pumps

Return activated sludge pumps are critical to wastewater treatment, maintaining biological balance, ensuring efficiency, and supporting resilient infrastructure amid aging systems and emerging contaminants.

Water Agitation vs. FOG: How Technology Is Solving A Costly Problem In Lift Stations

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.

Eclipse Gear Pumps For Chemical Dosing: VanLare Wastewater Treatment Facility

Located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, the Frank E. VanLare Wastewater Treatment Facility, Monroe County, NY, has a total treatment capacity of 660 MGD and is currently running around 100 MGD. The plant uses non-metallic Eclipse pumps to pump 12.5% sodium hypochlorite for disinfection before the final discharge of the wastewater.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Wastewater Treatment Efficiency: Roles of Oil-Free Blower Technology

Wastewater treatment plants face the ongoing challenge of efficiently processing wastewater from various sources, including residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, to mitigate pollution and safeguard environmental health.

The Evolution Of Efficient Biosolids Solutions

Modern biosolids management requires sophisticated biological treatment to achieve Class A pathogen reduction and efficient solids destruction. Explore how integrated aerobic digestion and nutrient management technologies provide reliable, cost-effective paths toward regulatory compliance.

Understanding Sustained Efficiency In Non-Clog Pumps

This white paper will provide a review of pump efficiency and the benefit of self-cleaning hydraulics in wastewater pumping.

We'll Take It All: Sewerage, Septage, FOG, And Street Sweepings

Because the WWTP is a heavy energy consumer, the increasing cost of electrical energy helped refocus operations on improving efficiencies and what latent energy could be extracted from the waste stream. In particular, what could be extracted and put to use in the facility itself?

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Custom Solutions For Reuse Applications

As supplies of fresh water become increasingly scarce, methods of recycling and reusing this vital resource are getting more attention than ever before. Orenco’s AdvanTex Treatment Systems consistently produce clear effluent that meets the most stringent permit limits.

Smart Water: Remote Sensing

Automated metering systems (AMSs), or “smart meters," can provide valuable data for electric and water utilities. Data analytics can be used to improve customer service, boost conservation, monitor the system, and even forecast demand. An ultimate goal might be to eventually monitor everything from streetlight intensity to fire hydrants.

Proven Energy Savings With New Mixer Technology

Read about new mixers installed for Anglian Water that have delivered over and above estimated energy savings and had minimal disruption to the plant.

Turning Water Utility Data Into Action: The Power Of Modern Meter Data Management

Smart meters, sensors, and operational systems generate a constant stream of information about water flow, pressure, consumption, and system performance. But data alone doesn't solve problems — it's the ability to understand and act on this information that drives real operational improvements.
