FEATURED ARTICLES

A New Approach To Installing Blower Systems

Upgrading the aeration system in a wastewater operation is typically a burdensome process. An affordable, purpose-built blower system delivered in its own secure, weatherproof enclosure can be commissioned sooner and at lower cost than one that requires renovations or new construction.

What Made The Becancour Water Treatment Plant A Model For Clean Water Solutions?

Learn how Quebec’s Becancour Water Treatment Plant improved ozone efficiency, reduced maintenance, and enhanced scalability by upgrading to a modular Pinnacle Summit ozone system.

Explaining AI: Differences Between LLMs And Machine Learning Models And Their Applications In Wastewater

Artificial intelligence is now a common topic in the wastewater industry. Despite the rising interest, many people are unsure what AI means in a practical wastewater setting.

Retrofit Strategies For HVAC Pump Systems

Unlock improved HVAC system performance by implementing modern pump retrofit strategies. Upgrading to high-efficiency pumps and smart controls significantly reduces energy use, lowers TCO, and enhances long-term reliability.

Keys To Successfully Implementing A Digital Water Management Platform

The implementation of digital platforms that leverage and integrate advanced technologies, such as IoT, Big Data, and AI, plays a crucial role in improving water management in all its phases: from catchment and treatment to distribution, use, and reuse.

ATAD Provides Increased Capacity With No Odors

Faced with persistent odor complaints and limited space, Douglas County Sewer District #1 in East Wenatchee, WA, turned to the ThermAer second-generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) system to modernize its biosolids treatment.

Water Loss Control For Small Water Systems

This article will explore the true meaning of water loss in terms of apparent loss, utilizing scenarios and industry technologies to help us understand this form of loss.

Water Management Tips For Natural Disasters

Remote water shut-off valves and preemptive planning enable municipalities to protect water infrastructure and respond effectively during natural disasters, ensuring public safety and service continuity.

Turbo Blowers For Wastewater Treatment: Efficiency, Benefits, And Maintenance Considerations

Turbo blowers improve wastewater aeration efficiency through high-speed impellers, lower energy use, and minimal maintenance, making them ideal for continuous, high-pressure applications when properly selected and maintained.

Ceramic Membranes Offer High Performance, Long Life, And Lower Operating Costs For Water Treatment

Microfiltration and ultrafiltration have become mainstays in the water treatment arena. These processes remove contaminants from water by passing it through a low-pressure membrane. Membrane filters are constructed with a variety of materials with various pore sizes. The challenge is determining which best suits the application with regard to performance, cost, and ease of operation.
