SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Treating 1,4-Dioxane Using Advanced Oxidation Processes

What is 1,4-dioxane, and why is it an issue? Read this article to learn more about this byproduct and how it can be treated. 

From Off-The-Shelf To Custom RO Systems For Industrial Applications

Read about why reverse osmosis is one of the most effective technologies in water purification. 

Arsenic Removal Technologies Pros And Cons

Arsenic removal is theoretically simple but small community water systems often struggle to find the right solution. This article compares three prominent arsenic removal technologies.

Underdrain Designs: Why The Internal Cone Is The Most Economical Choice

A poor underdrain design can cause filtration inefficiencies and inconsistencies, including uneven pressure drops and dead zones where water flows slowly or not at all.

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

Water Distribution – Why Measurement Matters When Every Drop Counts

With water resources stretched by the needs of an increasing global population, the need for transformative technologies across the water industry has never been more urgent.

Early Leak Detection Program: Improving Water Systems For Future Generations

Read about a trial for the city of Gold Coast designed to find a system that could sharpen leak detection capability with a small margin of error. 

Solving Pump Clogs Without Spawning A Million New Problems

With all the potential debris running through wastewater collection systems, the debate over chopping them to bits, or not, has become a fundamental question for wastewater utilities. Now, new perspectives and new mechanisms are giving wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators new opportunities for cutting the wipes problem down to size.

Pump Station Retrofit Ends Stormwater Woes

A Bergen County, NJ, riverside town receives relief from torturous flooding after its stormwater pumping station is dramatically improved by the installation of new Flygt pumps.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Get It Out: Effective Removal Of Inorganics

Modern wastewater treatment processes are not designed to operate with inorganic solids in the waste stream. While grinders are typically a cost-effective method for protecting the pumps at pump stations, there are other critical junctures within a treatment plant where operators have an opportunity to protect valuable assets with screening technology.

Aerobic Granular Sludge Technology Improves Wastewater Treatment While Reducing Lifecycle Costs

Activated sludge has been a cornerstone of wastewater treatment since the early 1900s. Over the years, variations of the activated sludge treatment process have surfaced. These variants were efforts to improve treatment performance or reduce capital or operating costs.

Village Of Johnson Creek WWTF Replaces Biological Treatment System

In this case study, read about a wastewater treatment plant whose system was reaching the end of its useful life and the solution they chose that allowed for sustainable growth while meeting strict budget requirements.

How To Remove More Sludge And Less Water During Clarification

Once the sludge has settled, what’s the most efficient way to remove it? John Stevenson, product line director at Brentwood, offers insight and solutions to common sludge-removal problems in this Q&A with Water Online.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Optimizing Water Utility Operations Through Data-Driven Insights

Limited visibility into distribution networks can cause issues like undetected leaks and billing inaccuracies. AMI and analytics can provide continuous monitoring for improved anomaly detection and prioritized actions.

How ESG Goals Can Help Drive Resilient Water Asset Management

Reassessing the way we think about resilience in water management is imperative in order to change our ways and capitalize on innovation.

Making The Most Of Data And Decision Intelligence

Hear how utilities are overcoming operational challenges, such as non-revenue water and leak detection, using digital technologies.

Connecting The Water Cycle: Bridging The Physical-Digital Gap

There are many reasons why an AMI system might fail, but more often than not it boils down to gaps in the physical-to-digital transition.

INDUSTRY NEWS

How Can We Evaluate The Quality Of Global Water Models?

IIASA researchers contributed to a new international study that tested the extent to which global water models agree with each other and with observational data.
