FEATURED ARTICLES

EPA PFAS Drinking Water Standards: Ensuring Safe And Clean Water

In this article, Transcend will highlight the importance of EPA PFAS drinking water standards as well as how they ensure safe and clean water systems. We also provide the opportunity to streamline wastewater design for utilities, engineering consultants, and equipment suppliers.

Evaluating Methodologies For Cooling Submersible Wastewater Pump Motors

Compare oil-filled and closed-loop cooling methodologies for submersible wastewater pump motors, emphasizing efficiency, heat transfer, maintenance, and longevity to determine the superior cooling solution.

Greek Municipality Of Naousa Secures Its Water Infrastructures With ABB Automation Solutions

Discover what technologies were able to measure, monitor, and control for a city in northwest Greece, while also ensuring a safe and clean water supply. 

Minimize Downtime With An Advanced Exchange From Aerzen

Customers participating in Advanced Exchange can get an equivalent overhauled unit sent to them to swap out in place of the one in need of repair.

ArxZyme Acetone Removal For AMPAC Fine Chemicals

AMPAC faced a critical challenge with acetone management. The high acetone levels in the effluent from its chemical processing operations required an effective industrial wastewater treatment solution to meet environmental regulations and ensure safe discharge.

Reducing Water Loss In Oak Park, IL: A Data-Driven Approach

Discover how the Village of Oak Park faced persistent water loss by implementing a systematic leak detection and mitigation approach.

A More Efficient Approach To EPA Stage 2 DBP Compliance

Everyone wants pathogen-free drinking water, and adding chlorine is a great way to get it. Unfortunately, the dirtier a water treatment plant’s raw water inflow, the more disinfection byproducts (DBPs) the chlorination process will generate in the form of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs).

How To Cost-Effectively Increase Pumping Station Capacity

Early detection of leaks can preserve pumping station capacity. Full-profile insertion (FPI) mag meters can be installed near valves and bends, making them ideal for pumping stations.

Flow Monitoring In The Partially Filled Discharge Of A Rainwater Retention Basin

Read about managing water discharge into a mixed water drainage system, electromagnetic flow measurement of water loads, and automated discharge control by way of a structure with overflow. 

Operando Studies Of Iodine Species In An Advanced Oxidative Water Treatment Reactor

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are emerging as a promising class of technologies for treatment of industrial and municipal waste streams for removal of recalcitrant contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, a key facet of wastewater treatment.

Is The State Revolving Fund In Jeopardy?

For decades, the State Revolving Fund (SRF) has served as a crucial financial backbone for water infrastructure projects across the U.S., providing low-interest loans to states and municipalities to maintain and improve drinking water and wastewater systems. However, recent executive actions from the Trump administration have raised concerns that even long-standing and widely supported programs like the SRF could face fundamental changes, or even outright repeal.

The Global Water Crisis: A Call For Urgent Innovation

Everyone on the planet is currently experiencing some form of water stress, putting billions at risk of experiencing heightened water scarcity in the near future. One of the key ways to address the existential threat of a water-scarce future is through seawater desalination technologies that convert saltwater — namely, oceans — into a reliable, drinkable water source.
