Ductile Iron And Cast Iron Pipes: A Century Of Reliability In Service

Ductile and cast iron pipes have a proven service life of over 100 years. Their superior durability and strength ensure system reliability, a longevity newer materials have yet to match.

Retrofitting Existing Headworks — Getting It Right

When a new wastewater facility is being designed and built, the engineers, contractors, and plant operators look for the most effective and cutting-edge solution available at the time of the install. But while many circumstances can be foreseen and planned for, changing regulations and treatment environments can usurp plant designs, quickly make them obsolete.

How To Cost-Effectively Remove Oil Contaminants From Industrial Wastewater

Read how advancements in material development have led to microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes that can handle oil-contaminated wastewater without excess fouling.

Achieving Successful Dosing Of Viscous Or Abrasive Chemicals

Metering pumps often struggle to dose caustic, abrasive, and viscous liquids required for water treatment. Thankfully, there are technologies and techniques that can make metering such chemicals more manageable.

Ultrasonic Flow Meter And Solar GSM Datalogger Deliver Continuous Monitoring And Compliance For Hydroelectric Plant In Turkey

A hydroelectric power plant in Turkey needed to establish a system for real-time monitoring of water consumption and turbine performance to enhance its operational efficiency. Crucially, the State Water Authority also required continuous, 24/7 remote access to water usage data for supervisory and regulatory compliance.

On Demand Taste And Odor Treatment — Neshaminy Falls, PA

The UV-oxidation system installed at the Neshaminy Falls Water Treatment Plant, owned and operated by Aqua Pennsylvania, has led to lower operating costs, a significantly reduced carbon footprint, and an improvement in water quality.

How To Optimize Bioaugmentation Dosing To Enhance Wastewater Treatment Performance

Wastewater treatment facilities across municipal and industrial sectors are increasingly turning to bioaugmentation as a powerful tool to enhance treatment performance and system reliability.

Preparing Your Valves For Winter With Proactive Maintenance

As the cold weather sets in, water distribution and wastewater systems face increased stress, making it important to ensure critical components like valves are in peak condition.

Martin County Saves Millions With leadCAST's Automated Workflows And Statistical Analysis To Tackle LCRR

With the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) deadline fast approaching and over 59% of its service lines unverified, Martin County recognized the significant work ahead in preparing to meet the requirements. The county needed to establish a clear strategy for its compliance program, and to support this effort, it needed an engineering consulting partner with extensive expertise in LCRR.
