02.24.26 -- E. Coli And MRSA Contaminating The Potomac; Tips For Tackling Water Loss

Surface water treatment planning faces rising regulatory pressure, aging infrastructure, and growing complexity — yet early design methods remain outdated. This moderated panel explores where traditional planning breaks down, how early assumptions lock in cost and risk, and why challenges are intensifying. Through real-world examples, learn how rethinking early design can reduce downstream rework, delays, and uncertainty. Click here to learn more.

Learn how a beverage plant cut its annual reverse osmosis (RO) reject-water hauling volume by 50%. Real-time total nitrogen monitoring reduced compliance costs by $350,000 and eliminated discharge penalty risk.

Arsenic has no smell, taste, or color when dissolved in water even in high concentrations. It is a potential concern to those who live in areas with high natural deposits of arsenic, receive runoff from orchards, or from glass and electronic production waste. Long-term exposure to arsenic can cause a number of harmful effects on the human body including cancer, skin lesions, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, among others.

Wastewater treatment plants are facing a more challenging influent environment than ever before, making effective inlet screening a much higher priority. Extreme weather is driving bigger and more frequent peaking events heavily laden with plastics and other non-biodegradable debris.

Choosing the right media is only the first step. Vessel and underdrain design often determine whether filtration systems meet expectations — or quietly fall short over time.

Among the many contaminants found in industrial and commercial wastewater, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can be some of the most challenging, both in terms of environmental impact and removal difficulty.

Non-revenue water drains utility budgets, resources, and public trust. Audits, ultrasonic metering with acoustic leak detection, and community engagement provide practical, cost-effective steps to curb losses and improve efficiency.

A water filtration treatment plant was built in 1950; pneumatic actuators were installed on all the filter control valves. The pneumatic actuators were not always reliable. Air compressor problems limited the availability of the pneumatics to control the filter valves.

Many facilities can tell you their annual budget, and some can tell you what they spent on chemicals last month. However, far fewer can connect costs directly to daily operations. That gap is where cost transparency becomes powerful.

In the wastewater treatment industry, coagulation has become one of the most widespread processes for effectively separating contaminants and effluence. But coagulation is a complicated and sensitive process, one that alters the chemical balance of the wastewater in order to strip it of unwanted constituents. As in many such processes, pH plays a critical role, and treatment professionals must analyze it closely if they want to properly coagulate their product.

As supplies of fresh water become increasingly scarce, methods of recycling and reusing this vital resource are getting more attention than ever before. Orenco’s AdvanTex Treatment Systems consistently produce clear efflciency that meets the most stringent permit limits.

The need and the consumption of various gases are steadily increasing. This applies to the transport in the decentralized power generation, the reducing of emissions of climate-relevant gases or the suction/compression of mixed gases.

A protozoan or single-cell parasite that lives in the intestines of animals and humans. This microscopic pathogen causes gastrointestinal disorders and may result in death.
