FEATURED ARTICLES

Why A Temporary Water Treatment System Might Be Your Best Investment

It is critical to understand the limitations of permanent installations and how a temporary water treatment system can make sound logistical and financial sense.

Complete Flow Solutions

Siemens’ extensive portfolio includes various flow measurement technologies, such as Coriolis, clamp-on ultrasonic, vortex, and differential pressure meters, catering to a wide range of industrial needs.

The Lifecycle Benefits Of Ductile Iron Pipe: A Comprehensive Comparison With Other Pipe Materials

In this article, explore the lifecycle benefits of ductile iron pipe in comparison with PCCP, PVC, and HDPE pipes.

When Granular Activated Carbon Isn't Enough: Optimize Performance With A Multi-Barrier Approach

Learn why GAC alone may fall short in PFAS treatment — and how utilities can future-proof performance with multi-barrier strategies that tackle short-chain compounds, regulatory shifts, and rising operational risks.

AMERICAN Plays A Role In Rebuilding Puerto Rico's Infrastructure

AMERICAN is helping rebuild Puerto Rico’s vital water infrastructure after Hurricane Maria, supplying American-made products to strengthen resiliency for 3.5 million residents and millions of annual visitors.

PFAS And Water Quality: What We Know About Forever Chemicals

As public awareness of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) grows, so too does concern over their widespread presence in our water, soil, food, and even our bodies. Rapid, on-site, or remotely operated detection of these “forever chemicals” is a crucial step to understanding the levels of PFAS within our systems.

Why Reducing Non-Revenue Water Matters For Water Utilities

In today's challenging environment, water utilities face mounting pressure to operate more efficiently while maintaining high service levels and managing aging infrastructure. At the heart of these challenges lies a critical issue: non-revenue water (NRW). 

AEC PFAS Removal System Reduces PFAS Contamination In New Jersey

This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of a new technology for removing PFAS from well water to below the EPA’s detection limits.

All-In-One Headworks Systems: An Economical, Efficient, And High-Performing Solution For Wastewater Treatment In Small To Mid-Sized Municipalities

For municipalities with small and medium-sized populations or in rural locations, designing state-of-the-art systems and navigating complex construction projects can be particularly daunting. This is where all-in-one headworks solutions offer a game-changing advantage.

Ensuring Optimal Water Sanitation In Swimming Pools And Water Attractions

Clear water isn’t always clean. Proper pool sanitation requires balanced chemistry, accurate chemical dosing, and correctly sized equipment to ensure safety, comfort, and compliance.
