FEATURED ARTICLES

Arsenic III vs. Total Arsenic: What Is The Difference?

In this article, learn what differentiates arsenic III and arsenic V, two different oxidation states of the chemical element arsenic.

Motion Detection Means Process Protection

Learn about an easy-to-install system that works in conjunction with a variety of heavy-duty motion sensing probes. 

The Building Blocks Of PFAS Expertise

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are quickly emerging as a major environmental and human health concern. Characterized by their extreme resistance to breaking down — owing to the molecules’ carbon-fluorine bonds, the strongest in organic chemistry — PFAS are persistent in the environment and can be found in water, wastewater, soils, air, food, and in the blood of humans and animals.

Flow Meter Enhances Chlorination System Performance For Municipal Water Department

The water municipality at a midsize city in the Western region of the U.S. serving a population of about 180,000 people needed to address a chlorine disinfection system problem at one of its water treatment plants.

Decreasing Lifecycle Costs: Don't Lose Dollars Chasing After Cents

This article explores some of the best practices to ensure overall station reliability, i.e., “total station efficiency,” in order to keep operating costs and downtime at a minimum.

How Microelectronics Fabricators Are Achieving Net-Zero Discharge

Technological advancements, particularly in UV treatment, have paved the way for efficient net-zero discharge practices that make it cost-effective compared to consuming and treating municipal water for production.

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.

AquaSBR Sequencing Batch Reactor: Food And Beverage Industry

This application note explores sequencing batch reactor (SBR) systems that have been installed worldwide in a variety of applications, ranging from a few gallons per minute (gpm) to thousands of gpm.

Water Control Gates Remain In Place At W.B. Casey Water Reclamation Facility Even After Expected Replacement

When a water resource recovery facility started seeing hydrogen sulfide levels of more than 500 parts per million, its force main began to deteriorate. The facility expected it would have to replace the gates that were original to the facility, considering the environment around them was destroyed, but upon further inspection it was found that the gates had suffered no damage.

Small Tweaks To System Operations Lead To BIG Savings

In this e-book, learn how non-optimized workflows can create hidden costs for you, your clients, and your community. 

INDUSTRY NEWS

Tampa Could Be First U.S. City With New Treatment System Technology To Filter PFAS

As water systems across the country make it a priority to rid supplies of pervasive per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), one city is set to pioneer treatment technology that could soon be deployed more widely.

Magnetic Bearing Turbo Blowers: PillAerator Series

Kaeser has expanded its product range with the introduction of magnetic bearing turbo blowers. For flow rates up to 4,700 cfm there is the 200 hp series, and the 400 hp series is for flow rates up to 10,500 cfm. Both of these model ranges include three PillAerator designs. 

Why Use Submersibles In A Dry-Pit Pump Station Application?

Spurred by concerns over the potential of pump station flooding — whether a dry-pit resides in a flood plain or experiences the ill effects of failed mechanical seals and valves — many cities, engineers, and developers often specify submersible pumps for dry-pit environments.

FEATURED GUEST COLUMNS

Complying With The EPA's First Limits On Toxic 'Forever Chemicals' For Public Drinking Water

In March 2023, the U.S. EPA released their proposed National Primary Drinking Water Regulation Standards (NPDWR) for PFAS and is on track to finalize the regulations by the end of the year or early 2024. The proposed NPDWR includes requirements for regulatory limits, monitoring, and public notification and treatment.
