SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Warren Water Recovery Facility Drives Efficiency With Innovative Sampler System

Read about the solution that was able to provide the Warren Water Recovery Facility with accurate composite sampling, reduced manpower with easy cleaning and maintenance, and predictive maintenance that reduced time in fixing process errors. 

Addressing Fouling Challenges In Desalination With Prefiltration

Pre-filtration is the first line of defense against fouling and is a critical part of the overall desalination process. These systems remove solids that can compromise delicate RO membranes.

Removing Iron, Arsenic, And Manganese To Meet California Regulations

A pilot study was conducted in Sacramento to provide manufacturers an opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of water treatment products that employ oxidation and filtration to remove iron, manganese, and arsenic to levels.

Chloramination Monitoring And Control

Since the EPA has established that, together with free chlorine, monochloramine is a primary disinfectant, it has been possible to implement the process more intensively. Water that is treated with monochloramine has, depending on the source of the water, fewer problems concerning taste and odor than water treated with free chlorine.

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

How To Right-Size Your Lift Station Without The 6-Month Wait

In Part 3 of the Get Pumped Up series, the spotlight is on speed: how utilities can identify and solve lift station inefficiencies without waiting six months for a redesign study.

Modern Clog-Free Wastewater Pumping Solution

Wastewater utilities need a modern solids-handling pumping solution. They need pumps that can automatically dislodge clogs, self-clean, and temporarily adjust inlet openings to accommodate larger or more difficult debris.

Solving America's Wastewater Woes

Like so much of America’s infrastructure, our wastewater infrastructure is aging and inadequate. Like our highways and bridges, our wastewater infrastructure needs improvement. How do we solve this problem?

What Is Noninvasive Leak Detection?

By utilizing advanced technologies to monitor water lines, utilities can detect leaks in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Protecting Wastewater Treatment Equipment And Improving The Bottom Line With Septage Receiving Stations

Learn about a solution that employs a combination of grinding, solids removal, washing, and dewatering, and enables a typical septage truck to unload in 5 to 15 minutes. 

How To Get The Most Out Of Your Drum Screen

Duperon’s drum screen utilizes a blend of features that address major operator pain points, including wear-resistant parts and an easy-to-clean design.

How To Conduct Water Quality Analysis For Ozone Disinfection

Because ozone is relied on so heavily to oxidize a wide variety of potential wastewater contaminants, water quality analysis during the disinfection process is paramount. Once the ozone process itself is understood, its water quality ramifications and the quality parameters that offer insight into its efficacy can be analyzed and taken into account.

Distillery Wastewater Byproducts Fuel Sustainability

For distilleries, high levels of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nitrogen, total dissolved solids (TDS), and total suspended solids (TSS) put extra pressure on optimal biological treatment requirements. Here are some techniques that can help distillers put a little extra money in the bank while meeting the challenges of environmental discharge requirements.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Oregon City Finds Improved Customer Service With The Aclara RF Network

Redmond’s water utility previously relied on contracted meter readers to manually report water meter data once a month. Using this outdated monthly system, the city was obtaining inconsistent information that did not allow the utility to effectively answer customer questions.

Managing Multiple Water Systems? It Doesn't Have To Be A Guessing Game.

Managing multiple water systems can be complex and challenging. That’s why 120Water created the 1-to-many digital solution, PWS Insights, to give those managing multiple systems one place to view all of their data and quickly take action.

Making The Most Of Data In A Digitalized World

Water treatment plant (WTP) and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators are increasingly supporting better decision-making by leveraging digitalization capabilities available through instrumentation and plant management systems. Successful adoption of digitalization starts with identifying the right balance of tools and systems.

Decoding LCRI: Exploring How Technology Can Help With Compliance

The use of lead pipes was banned in the 1980s, yet over 9.2 million American households still connect to water through lead pipes and lead service lines. These decades-old lead pipes pose an ever-present risk to the health and wellbeing of Americans.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Landmark Settlement With DuPont Valued At Over $2 Billion

In the largest environmental settlement ever achieved by a single state, New Jersey has reached a $2 billion settlement with DuPont over PFAS. The groundbreaking deal aims to remedy long-standing contamination from PFAS, as well as other pollutants originating from four industrial sites.
