Webinar: A Better Choice for Chemical Feed Control

The water treatment chemicals market is growing from $37.5B in 2022 to $53.8B by 2032. Chemical costs have surged, making accurate measurement critical. Traditional flow meters offer 1.5–5% accuracy, while Coriolis mass flow meters reach 0.1%, saving costs. This presentation highlights where Coriolis meters outperform others and how they solve tough measurement challenges in water and wastewater treatment. Click here to learn more.

PFAS And Water Quality: What We Know About Forever Chemicals

As public awareness of “forever chemicals” grows, so too does concern over the widespread presence of PFAS in our water, soil, food, and even our bodies. These synthetic compounds are alarmingly persistent in the environment and have been linked to a host of health issues.

Water Reclamation Facility Streamlines Equipment For Improved Function

A water reclamation facility in Carol Stream, Illinois, optimized its equipment layout using Blue-White’s FLEXFLO M2 metering pumps and CHEM-FEED wall mount systems, improving functionality, reducing piping complexity, and saving space for a more efficient operation.

Arsenic Removal Pilot Study Meets California Standards (Loprest)

Well water from several locations in the Ridgecrest, California, area is high in arsenic, carbonates, and pH. Due to the high levels of arsenic, some wells are not being used to supply municipal water to the City of Ridgecrest and were shut down. Due to local demand, the feasibility of treating these wells to remove most of the arsenic before blending with water from other wells is being investigated.

The Synergy Between Activated Carbon And Ion Exchange

Jacobi Carbons is a renowned voice in activated carbon (AC) solutions for water treatment, as its name would imply. But its employees also possess a high-level expertise on ion exchange (IX) and how the two processes can be combined for optimal results.
