Here are some insights that can help water treatment plant operators deal with their internal concerns about DBPs and residual chlorine or ammonia levels, as well as their external concerns about customer perceptions of water quality.

To protect residents from environmental contaminants, the City of Aurora set stringent water treatment goals and adopted an advanced treatment process at the Aurora Reservoir Water Purification Facility.

Filtrasorb 400’s agglomerated pore structure and high volumetric capacity deliver unmatched PFAS removal, longer run times, and lower lifecycle costs — outperforming direct-activated carbons in real-world and lab testing.

One of the most perplexing challenges that wastewater plant operators face is the need to measure the various sources of influent. For closed-pipe systems, the use of traditional flow devices requires intensive and expensive engineering to keep the pipe full at the point of measurement. The good news is that there is an emerging solution that measures flow in a less-than-full pipe.

Hillsborough County’s $100 million South County Potable Water Project, supported by AMERICAN, boosts water reliability and pressure through 10.7 miles of mains, using innovative design-build collaboration.

Pinnacle Ozone works with many water professionals in North and South America using a wide spectrum of application methods for water and wastewater treatment. One such company using a novel approach to wastewater treatment is BlueInGreen, LLC, which is based in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

In 2000, the district’s average water demand was 2.3 MGD and was estimated to grow over 20% by 2030. Unfortunately, there was not a sufficient or permanent reliable source of supply to meet future demands.

This article presents a comprehensive overview of technologies for phosphorus removal and recovery, including chemical and biological processes, ballasted clarification, filtration, and nutrient recovery.

By utilizing Siemens’ ability to offer unparalleled flow, level, pressure, temperature, and weight measurement, we can provide a broad range of process measurements and offer unequaled monitoring of the health and performance of those products.

For most water utilities, master and production meters represent the system's financial and operational truth. These meters quantify the volume of water entering the distribution network, support water accountability programs, validate NRW calculations, and influence everything from treatment costs to rate structures.

One of the greatest challenges in achieving a holistic water management philosophy is non-revenue water (NRW) — water that is lost before reaching consumers due to leaks, theft, or inaccurate metering.
