FEATURED ARTICLES

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

Does Lead Have To Exist For Predictive Modeling To Work?

Using predictive modeling as it relates to identifying the likelihood of lead service lines can feel like a daunting task. Does your water system have to have known lead for predictive modeling to be effective?

Village Of Johnson Creek WWTF Replaces Biological Treatment System

In this case study, read about a wastewater treatment plant whose system was reaching the end of its useful life, and the solution they chose that allowed for sustainable growth while meeting strict budget requirements.

Maximizing Your Capital Investment In Clean Water Pumps

In many clean water pump applications, performance problems affect only a small segment of the total infrastructure. Dealing with routine repairs, extinct pump OEMs, or changing performance requirements does not have to come down to all-or-nothing replacement.

Why Old-Fashioned Line Maintenance Isn't Working For Modern Communities

The modern challenges faced by today's water utilities require modern solutions, and insertion valves have evolved into an ideal solution for a range of problems.

Technology That Supports Water Conservation

While water conservation is a worthwhile practice anywhere and at any time of the year, the need to conserve precious water resources is especially critical in communities affected by drought.

Flow Monitoring At Sea Water Reverse Osmosis Plant Improves Water Distribution

Read about a desalination plant that was in need of a practical verification methodology for permanent and/or temporary (portable) solutions on large pipes.

Winery Becomes California's Most Eco-Friendly With Advanced Biological Treatment And Nutrient Removal

When Silver Oak Cellars decided to expand and open a new winery in Alexander Valley, they wanted to create the greenest winery ever. A key component of the water efficiency aspect to the green production is Smith & Loveless’ TITAN MBR membrane bioreactor system.

Bypass System At Onondaga County Pump Station Enables Completion Of Vital Upgrades

When the West Side sewage pump station in Onondaga County, New York, prepared to undergo its first major upgrade in over 30 years, the project required a bypass system to move a peak flow of 30 MGD. C.O. Falter Construction was named the bypass contractor for the project and worked with Xylem to design and install a temporary system to convey the full amount of flow.

PFAS Filtration: Designing For Smaller OPEX And Footprint

Keys to bring down the cost of PFAS treatment for operations with limited resources — or any operation using media filtration.

The Rising Demand For Clean Water: Market Trends And Projections

The COVID-19 pandemic served as a catalyst for growth in the global water market, prompting consumers to prioritize clean and safe drinking water and leading to increased demand and subsequent market expansion. This trend is expected to continue even in the post-pandemic era, as consumers remain conscious of the importance of high-quality water.

New Research Could Extend Membrane Life And Lower Desalination Costs

Membrane desalination is a critical technology in addressing global water scarcity and promoting a circular water economy. However, the high costs associated with desalination often hinder widespread adoption. However, researchers from Arizona State University and Colorado State University have made what is being called a breakthrough in the understanding and mitigation of scaling caused by gypsum and silica.
