The AquaPrime cloth media filtration system is designed as an economical and efficient solution for the treatment of primary wastewater. This system utilizes a disk configuration and the exclusive OptiFiber PF-14® pile cloth filtration media to effectively filter high solids waste streams without the use of chemicals. This system is ideal for primary wastewater treatment due to its proven removal efficiencies and high quality effluent, even under varying influent conditions.

Pump oversizing drives hidden costs through energy waste, reduced reliability, and increased wear, making proper sizing and modern controls critical for long-term efficiency and performance.

What if your plant's biggest cost driver was locked in at the design stage? See how early energy optimization reshapes whole-life financial outcomes.

Choosing the right media is only the first step. Vessel and underdrain design often determine whether filtration systems meet expectations — or quietly fall short over time.

From ragging and grit to odors and cost constraints, wastewater operators face persistent challenges. Proven headworks technologies and preventative maintenance help utilities improve performance, reduce downtime, and control costs.

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.

As utilities face rising demand for clean drinking water and aging infrastructure, smart water technologies are stepping up to deliver meaningful improvements.

Utilities can leverage advanced technologies to make monitoring and maintenance easier for operators to execute with fewer advanced skills, while reducing manpower and increasing the life of equipment.

Improper inspection can lead to inefficient repair methods, having you spend too much or too little to create a longer-lasting, impactful reduction in infiltration to your sewer collection system. At the very least, it creates the worst thing of all: distrust for the entire study. 

A pilot study was conducted in Sacramento to provide manufacturers an opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of water treatment products that employ oxidation and filtration to remove iron, manganese, and arsenic to levels.

Efficiency is the name of the game for modern wastewater treatment plants. Unfortunately, many facilities were built decades ago and are becoming increasingly expensive to operate. Therefore, you may be looking for a way to upgrade your wastewater treatment plant to meet the latest standards.

With water scarcity a real threat to the global water supply as well as increased attention to sustainability in water by regulators and key stakeholders, the manufacturing industry must focus on managing their water usage efficiently and effectively.

Maintaining water service during infrastructure upgrades is critical for community safety. Innovative insertion technology allows for the creation of permanent isolation points on live pressurized lines, ensuring uninterrupted supply while enhancing long-term grid reliability.

The Deltabar M PMD55 differential pressure transmitter can be used for flow measurement of gases, vapors and liquids.
