9 Reasons Why Drinking Water Distribution System Monitoring Is Now Practical

Drinking water professionals and engineers understand that maintaining safe and high-quality water throughout the distribution system is a critical responsibility. Chlorine, the backbone of disinfection, ensures safety, but its effectiveness can falter in the complex network of pipes, tanks, and dead ends.

Proprietary Reactivation Study Demonstrates PFAS Removal And Destruction Expertise

Thermal reactivation of granular activated carbon is a proven and scalable method to achieve >99.9% destruction removal efficiency for PFAS. This process fully restores the carbon for reuse, providing a sustainable solution that breaks the cycle of "forever chemicals."

Pre-Rinsed Vessel Swaps And Packaged Skids Simplify PFAS Treatment For Small Well Sites

Small well sites face unique challenges in meeting new PFAS standards. Solutions emphasize simplicity and speed, with pre-rinsed vessel swaps and modular, packaged systems reducing downtime and complexity for resource-limited utilities.

Aerzen's Delta Hybrid Blower: Features And Maintenance Considerations

Aerzen’s Delta Hybrid combines positive displacement and screw compressor technologies to deliver high efficiency, low vibration, and reliable performance in high-pressure aeration — requiring careful maintenance to ensure longevity.

Submersible Pump Helps Protect Danville, Indiana

The County Home Lift Station in Danville, IN, plays a crucial role in managing wastewater for a diverse area that includes a regional hospital, a county jail, a landfill, and numerous businesses and residences.

Mass Flow Meter Best Practices For Water Treatment

Air/gas mass flow meters find a variety of applications in many of today’s large urban water treatment plants, both clean water and wastewater. From measuring disinfection gases to controlling air or gas flow in digesters and aeration systems, the proper application, installation and operation of mass flow meters improves process efficiency and end product quality while reducing plant operating costs

How To Get The Most Out Of Your Drum Screen

Duperon’s drum screen utilizes a blend of features that address major operator pain points, including wear-resistant parts and an easy-to-clean design.

Protecting The Nation's Water Infrastructure

What can be done to minimize potential losses from an earthquake? One solution is earthquake-resistant water infrastructure such as AMERICAN's Earthquake Joint System. A study by Cornell found the system can withstand ground ruptures in excess of those experienced during some of the world’s most catastrophic earthquakes.

Orchestrating Corrosion Control With Phosphate Analyzers

Keeping corrosion under control requires sound strategy and reliable execution. Here are several approaches to better, more effective corrosion control.

Reducing H2S And FOG At The Discharge Of A Force Main

County Operations staff investigated the wastewater collection system that serves a Virginia neighborhood and found that odor was proliferating throughout the neighborhood. Corrosion of the sewer manholes was clearly evident.
