RECOMMENDED RESOURCES

 

AEC System Proven Effective For Chloride Removal

In two bench-scale tests, a new technology effectively removed up to 99% of chlorides and 97% of total dissolved solids in a single pass. This solution offers a commercially viable alternative to traditional treatment methods.

 

HYDROCONN Series IV Brochure

Geospace Technologies offers a complete line of AMI water meter connector cables specifically designed and manufactured to meet the rugged requirements for in-pit, underwater applications. 

 

Seized Valve Release

Releasing seized valves rather than replacing them can significantly reduce maintenance costs, as it avoids the need to purchase and install new components. Seized valves are released live and as such eliminate both water quality risk and interruption to supply. Watch this full session from Virtual Water Expo to learn more.

FEATURED GUEST COLUMN

A Market On Edge: PVDF's Uncertain Future

By classifying PVDF as a PFAS “forever chemical” and including it under the proposed restriction, the EU has introduced the prospect of a multi-billion-dollar technology shift. While the outcome will depend on the final derogation periods granted, the proposal creates a defined regulatory horizon for PVDF membranes and forces the global water industry to evaluate alternatives.
