Why Early Vendor Partnership Is The Secret To Engineering Success

Early vendor collaboration helps engineers avoid costly pump design mistakes by providing application expertise, advanced analysis tools, and insights that ensure wastewater pumping systems perform reliably from startup onward.

Groundwater DWTP (NJ) – DEXSORB Full-Scale

Cyclopure was invited to replace ion exchange resin to remove PFAS from groundwater at a groundwater pump station, located in New Jersey. The decision to replace IXR was due to poor PFAS removal caused by manganese fouling.

BOD Determination Of Strongly-Loaded Organic Wastewater With The BOD-OxiDirect

Strongly loaded organic industrial wastewater, i.e., from sugar or paper factories, need to be pretreated before determining the BOD value.

Testing For Yesterday's Water In A PFAS World

Relying on assumptions when designing water treatment systems creates unnecessary financial and operational risks. Adopting predictive modeling and data-driven testing provides the precise, actionable insights required to optimize performance, manage costs, and ensure compliance.

Impact Of Improved Actuation On Filter Performance

A water filtration treatment plant was built in 1950, and pneumatic actuators were installed on all the filter control valves. The pneumatic actuators were not always reliable. Air compressor problems limited the availability of the pneumatics to control the filter valves.

Efficient Carbon And Ion Exchange Media Exchange

This document outlines the essential steps required to exchange spent media, including disposal of spent media.

Reversing Water Loss In A Rural Municipality

Explore how Oneida's water department went from dealing with water loss, partnering up and solving the challenge, and getting unexpected results. 

Onsite STEP System Handles Seasonal Peaks At U.S. National Park

When it was determined that the septic tanks and drainfields at Stinson Beach were coming to the end of their useful lives, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area looked for a cost-effective replacement that would not be overly noticeable to park visitors.

How Digital Twins Help Water Utilities Optimize Network Performance

Rising city populations, high consumption of resources, aging infrastructure, climate change, complex water distribution systems — these are but a few issues forcing those in city management to rethink their sustainability and efficiency efforts. 

TOC Monitoring In Process Return Condensate

Industrial power plants or co-generation power plants utilize steam for industrial purposes other than power production.

Rethinking Master Planning In A Data-Rich Environment

Digital planning tools are transforming the master planning process from a periodic study into a continuously updated decision-support system that integrates data, models, and operational insight.

 

Eradicating High-Strength Nitrogen Loads Without Expanding Your Aeration Basins

When decision-makers assess the best ways to deal with high-strength nitrogen loads in their wastewater treatment plants, an important thing for them to remember is that biological treatment methods alone typically cannot handle all of a facility’s nutrient load. Instead, they should consider how a combination of physical-chemical extraction methods can provide an extremely reliable, small footprint method for handling above-average loads.
