How Does The Transcend Design Generator Help In Designing Your Next MBBR Plant?

In this article, take a look at the process design that determines the reactor sizing in the Transcend Design Generator. 

Why You Need More Than Meters In Your Advanced Metering Infrastructure

By connecting sensors and instruments to AMI networks, water utilities can glean a level of visibility into and control over distribution systems that isn’t possible with flow data alone.

Gas vs. Liquid Measurement: A New Phase Of H2S Management

This application note explores how an exclusive sensor has created entirely new ways to address hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concerns.

LCRI: A Shift To Mandatory Service Line Replacement Within 10 Years

Mandatory lead service line (LSL) replacement is a fundamental shift from the Lead and Copper Rule in its approach to LSL replacement, moving from a trigger-based approach to a mandatory, system-wide replacement mandate.

Water Management Tips For Natural Disasters

Remote water shutoff valves and preemptive planning enable municipalities to protect water infrastructure and respond effectively during natural disasters, ensuring public safety and service continuity.

NWG's Meter Data Management Promotes Sustainability

Northumbrian Water Group (NWG) serves over 4.5 million customers across Northumberland, Essex, and Suffolk County in the UK, prioritizing both customer satisfaction and environmental stewardship. To enhance its water management capabilities, NWG has partnered with Siemens to implement an advanced meter data management (MDM) solution.

Mastering Condensate Management

This series explores crucial questions surrounding condensate management. In the first part, we examine where condensate comes from and what it contains.

Wastewater Plant Upgrades Ozone For Significant Savings

The Lariana Depur wastewater treatment plant in Fino Mornasco, Italy, treats wastewater from multiple textile manufacturers in the Como region, known as the heart of the textile industry. Since 1994, ozone has been used effectively as a polisher to remove the dark blue-purple color — the result of the dyes used in the textile dyeing and printing process — from the water.

5 Ways To Ensure Your AMI Transition Is A Success

While AMI’s benefits are widely recognized, implementation remains a major challenge for many utilities. This article offers practical insights into navigating the complex path to AMI deployment.

Why The Right Blower Flow Rate For Aeration Is Important

As the operator of a wastewater plant, you may already have realized that not all blowers are alike. Therefore, one of the biggest decisions you have to make is which one is the optimal solution for your requirements.

Sonic-Pro Chemical Feed Flow Meter Datasheet

Sonic-Pro MS6 Flow Meter uses transit-time ultrasonic technology to provide immediate and easily accessible data on the amount of chemical being dispensed.

 

SHP Series Pressure Screens Datasheet

SHP Series Pressure Screens utilize a fixed, curved, wedgewire screen surface that is positioned at a steep angle. The screen surface used for the SHP is wedgewire with slots oriented across the direction of flow. This unique wedgewire construction provides for an effective stripping of liquid facilitating solids removal of particles in the 0.002–0.006" range, and helps prevent blinding or plugging of the screen openings.

Solving The World's Microplastics Problem: 4 Solutions Cities And States Are Trying After Global Treaty Talks Collapsed

Microplastics seem to be everywhere — in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. Countries have tried for the past few years to write a global plastics treaty that might reduce human exposure, but the latest negotiations collapsed in August 2025. While U.S. and global solutions seem far off, policies to limit harm from microplastics are gaining traction at the state and local levels.
