Advanced Leak Detection Safeguards Water In Utqiaġvik, Alaska

In the remote Arctic village of Utqiaġvik, Alaska — where extreme winters and frozen terrain make traditional water system maintenance nearly impossible — the Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation (UIC) faced a critical threat: a persistent underground leak draining over 10,000 gallons of water per day.

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.

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. 

How Flow Technology Can Ease The Inflow And Infiltration Headache

This article will explain why rain-dependent inflow and infiltration (RDI&I) measurement often fails and how to produce the level of data quality that can detect, understand, and manage it.

Common LT2 Compliance Mistakes (And How To Avoid Them)

Water systems are complex, and many things can go awry that can cause a once-compliant plant to fall out of compliance or cause a compliance solution to fail at startup.

Ensure Success For Your Rental Pump

Using the wrong rental pump for the application can cause unexpected or unnecessary costs, as well as delays and downtime. Here’s how to determine the right rental pump for a given project.

The Savings Are Blowin' In At Port Washington Wastewater Treatment Plant

The municipal wastewater treatment plant in Port Washington, Wisconsin, is located on the picturesque shore of Lake Michigan, so it’s essential that their plant performs as designed.

How To Buy Right, Not Cheap

While there may be any number of pumps that will do the job, choosing the best fit will give you the best return on your investment. The following tips will help you make the right choices.

Go Beyond The Noise: Pressure Monitoring As The Key To Comprehensive Leakage Management

To effectively tackle leakage, utilities must shift from reactive strategies to proactive, data-driven methodologies that enhance early detection, optimize pressure control, and reduce strain on aging pipelines.

Water Conservation And Reuse For Data Centers

Because of our own decades-long mismanagement of our collective global water resources, we are now facing a global freshwater crisis where the demand for freshwater is predicted to exceed its supply by 40% by the year 2030. Directly coinciding with the water crisis timeline is the growing need for data center construction in order to accommodate AI, cloud computing, and other Big Data and IoT processing.
