How To Design A Solution For A Temporary Water Or Vapor Treatment Project

The key to a successful water treatment or vapor extraction project is to understand the elements that can impact the treatment process, as well dispelling key myths about temporary treatment systems.

Do You Have These Critical Spare Aeration Parts In Stock? (And Why You Should)

Certain aeration components have the potential to shut down the aeration unit and bring about unplanned downtime. Here are the ones to have on hand at all times.

Pandemic Shines A Spotlight On The Need For Better Water Quality Management In Office And Commercial Buildings

Explore the parallels between water systems in buildings and water utilities, and the need for property owners to adopt water quality management practices, such as time-based flushing, to maintain safe water conditions for occupants.

How To Size An Advanced Oxidation System For New Wastewater Installations

While UV AOP technology continues to gain traction, there are few regulations or standards for it, making it difficult for engineers to specify equipment size for new installations.

Low-Carbon Water System Provides Clean, 24/7 Service To One Of India’s Holiest Cities

In this case study, read about a network design that reduced energy use while improving health and quality of life for one of India's holiest cities. 

Dual Auger System Replaces Grinder And Cuts Associated Plant Maintenance

Explore how a wastewater treatment plant in Pottsville, PA, addressed clogging and maintenance issues with the Duperon Dual Auger System. 

Designing The Right Aeration System For 88-Acre Lagoon

Read about a project that aimed to increase dissolved oxygen concentrations of an 88-surface-acre coastal lagoon community. 

How Much Can Leak Detection Reduce Non-Revenue Water Losses?

Utilities that choose not to install proactive leak detection know exactly how much they are ‘saving’ by avoiding that investment. Unfortunately, they often have no idea of how much they are actually ’paying’ to forego it, since 65 to 75% of water leaks never surface to prove their hidden expense. 

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.

Thornton, CO, Tackles LCR Sampling With 120Water

When a change in treatment coagulants left the City of Thornton, CO, on an increased monitoring schedule, the water quality team knew they would need outside support to tackle sampling for the 150,000+ residents in their community.

Agriculture And Pharma Key To Solving Micropollutants

As the phrase ‘forever chemicals’ enters the Oxford English Dictionary for the first time in 2024, and these fluorinated substances expand the list of micropollutants, it might be time for a change in the way these persistent environmental pollutants are tackled.

Automatic Water Level Controllers: Everything You Should Know

The sole role of automatic water level controllers is to automatically maintain the reservoir or tank's water level within the range you want. These devices are comprised of a control unit with a pump or valve as per the build-up and sensors. You can find the sensors at different levels, which will help you trace the water level.
