06.04.26 -- Research Leads To Cheaper PFAS Testing; A Playbook For Reliable RO Operations

What if most water infrastructure cost overruns were preventable at the design stage? See how rigorous early-stage analysis changes project outcomes.

High-resolution laser technology detects microscopic particles and subtle filtration breaches that traditional systems miss. By monitoring signal fluctuations and utilizing concentrated light sources, operators can achieve superior effluent accuracy and optimize filter run performance.

As utilities prepare for the pending 4-ppt PFAS drinking water MCL, many are discovering that legacy lead/lag designs — workhorses for decades when treating contaminants in the ppm and ppb range — simply are not optimized for the parts per trillion-level (ppt) precision PFAS demands.

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.

Read about the solution that was able to provide the Warren Water Recovery Facility with accurate composite sampling, reduced manpower with easy cleaning and maintenance, and predictive maintenance that reduced time in fixing process errors.

Read about the lessons learned from building one of the largest smart meter networks in Europe.

The Town of Holly Springs, NC, used Hydra-Stop's Insta-Valve 250 insertion valves to repair a leak in a transmission line without causing water service outages to over 40 residences. This solution saved the town from widespread outages and other costs associated with a system shutdown.

While any company can claim to offer these services, WTPs need a total solutions provider that understands GAC technology as only a manufacturer can.

Ductile iron pipe is a versatile, reliable solution that resists UV degradation, freezing, and physical stress. Its unmatched durability ensures long-term performance in any piping application.

SCADA-connected chemical metering pumps improve dosing accuracy, reduce labor, and enable proactive maintenance — helping utilities modernize operations without massive infrastructure overhauls.
