SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

4 Important Reasons To Choose CO2 To Reduce Drinking Water pH

CO2 provides several advantages over liquid acids. In addition to being easier to use, it is also more environmentally friendly and can have long-term cost benefits.

EPA PFAS Drinking Water Standards: Ensuring Safe and Clean Water

In this article, Transcend will highlight the importance of EPA PFAS drinking water standards as well as how they ensure safe and clean water systems. We also provide the opportunity to streamline wastewater design for utilities, engineering consultants, and equipment suppliers.

Multi-Contaminant Removal With Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) In Drinking Water Filtration

Learn why the U.S. EPA has recognized granular activated carbon (GAC) as a best available technology (BAT) for a wide range of substances within the same system.

Fluorometers In Drinking Water Monitoring: Real-Time Tools For Clean, Safe Water

In this article, we’ll dive into how fluorometers work, what they measure, and why they’ve become essential for maintaining clean drinking water in a world facing increasing water quality concerns. 

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

Driving Efficiency: Why Use Variable Frequency Drives On Slot Injector And Jet Mixing Pumps?

Aeration pumps with variable frequency drives (VFDs) offer the ability to fine-tune energy usage and eliminate excess power consumption, which can improve operational efficiency in wastewater treatment.

The Real Reason Your Pumps Fail

A common misconception when a pump goes down in wastewater applications is that the pump is always the source of the problem. The reality is that many — if not most — failures occur because of the system’s impact on the pump or because of other external environmental/operational factors.

Submersible Sewage Pumps Deliver High Return

The village Sluis in the Netherlands is a very popular touristic attraction and therefore the municipality of Sluis cannot afford any blockages in the wastewater transportations.

The Truth About Clogged Pumps

The sky is blue, grass is green, and, someday, your pumps are going to clog. It’s just another fact of life — or is it? 

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

HydraForce: A New Solution For Wastewater Management

Wastewater management is a critical component of municipal infrastructure, ensuring safe and effective processing of water before its return to the environment. However, operators of lift stations face a persistent challenge that undermines efficiency and increases costs: the buildup of fat, oil, and grease (FOG).

Enhancing Wastewater Treatment With Efficient Blower Systems

Welcome to a world where innovation meets a tradition of superior quality — where KAESER delivers products and an experience that raises the bar for what you expect from blower solutions.

Wastewater Treatment Double-Play Game Winner

While aeration and digester wastewater treatment systems are fundamentally different, they share common challenges when it comes to accurate air/gas flow measurement. Flow meters need to operate over a wide flow range, fluctuating from very high to low rates.

Overcoming Obstacles To Increase Wastewater Capacity

It’s a scenario that is becoming more common at food and beverage facilities. The introduction of a new product to market, or a boom in sales of an existing product, prompts management to increase production capacity. While there is plenty of space for production equipment, the corresponding need for additional wastewater treatment capacity may not be readily accommodated.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Enhancing Data Capabilities For Greenville Water Utility

The Greenville Water Utility in Indiana is leveraging Qatium to enhance its water management and leak detection capabilities, significantly improving service efficiency.

Oporto Water Utility Develops Technology Platform For Integrated Management Of Urban Water Cycle

Explore how a water utility in Oporto, Portugal designed, developed, and implemented an innovative solution for smart water management by integrating existing IT solutions into a single platform. 

A Combo Utility Benefits From AMI

The City of Dothan, AL, recently turned to Aclara for an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solution to support its 31,000 electric and 35,000 water meters. This case study details how the city implemented a single network solution that effectively collects water and electric meter readings and provides the information needed to enhance operations and customer service for city residents.

Utility Improves Data Accuracy, Customer Service With Advanced Metering Analytics

Bethpage Water District’s (New York) outdated water metering system led to customer service concerns, such as a slow response time for detecting leaks and insufficient data for billing inquiries. By installing new meters and advanced metering analytics software, the district increased visibility into its operations, resulting in greater revenue and improved customer service.
