FEATURED ARTICLES

ASM-10-HP Application Note

ResinTech ASM-10-HP is a strongly basic hybrid anion exchange resin specially formulated to selectively remove arsenic.

Waterworks Joints 101

There are many different joints that can be found on waterworks pipeline components. This paper focuses on the three most common joints.

The Advantages Of Diaphragm Metering Pumps In Chemical Feed Applications

Diaphragm pumps remain a versatile solution for chemical dosing, offering reliable performance across a wide range of applications — especially when matched correctly to flow, pressure, and chemical characteristics.

Selecting The Optimal Blower For The Water Industry

In this white paper, we will drill down into which technology has particularly proven itself in terms of energy efficiency in the water industry.

Vital Fire-Suppression Line Remains Live While AVT EZ Valve Is Installed

Critical safety systems must remain operational during repairs. Advanced insertion technology enables the installation of permanent valves on pressurized lines without service interruptions, preventing costly facility shutdowns while ensuring constant fire suppression readiness.

City Of Lodi Employs GAC To Remove Contaminants From Groundwater

In this case study, read about AV's unique Concept to Commission approach which enabled a team to design, manufacture, and install GAC systems and interconnecting site pipe in just 10 working hours. 

We'll Take It All: Sewerage, Septage, FOG, And Street Sweepings

Because the WWTP is a heavy energy consumer, the increasing cost of electrical energy helped refocus operations on improving efficiencies and what latent energy could be extracted from the waste stream. In particular, what could be extracted and put to use in the facility itself?

Proven Energy Savings With New Mixer Technology

Read about new mixers installed for Anglian Water that have delivered over and above estimated energy savings and had minimal disruption to the plant. 

Nitrogen-Reduction Treatment Systems For Long-Term Operations

The need for nitrogen-reducing wastewater treatment systems has become more common in the past few decades due to various environmental concerns, including eutrophication, oxygen depletion, and toxicity to aquatic organisms in lakes and streams.

A Fairy Tale Ending At A Pump Station

When the Otay River Pump Station had a floating blanket of grease problem, they turned to the Vaughan Chopper Pump to help eliminate it — while also being a cost-effective solution.

7 Takeaways From The Water Week 2026 Press Conference

The water industry faces a critical disconnect between available federal funding and project execution. As workforce shortages and regulatory risks accelerate, stakeholders must bridge the communication gap to ensure long-term resilience and infrastructure stability. Hear from Water Online's publisher, Travis Kennedy, about these topics and more that were discussed at Water Week 2026.

FEATURED GUEST COLUMN

Beyond Clarification: Optimizing Polyacrylamide Selection For High-Complexity Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Polyacrylamide (PAM) selection in industrial wastewater treatment is frequently reduced to a trial-and-error exercise, resulting in reagent waste, inconsistent effluent quality, and inflated operating costs. This article presents a structured framework for PAM optimization across three critical variables — ionic charge density, molecular weight, and coagulant synergy.
