07.23.26 -- Modernizing Wastewater Infrastructure — Without Disrupting Service; AI Model Helps Balance Water Demands

Aging water storage tanks face stratification and stagnation, threatening water quality. Active mixing ensures uniform disinfectant distribution, reduces flushing, and improves system reliability and regulatory compliance.

Modern self-service analytics tools empower plant engineers to utilize existing operational data without complex coding. Utilities can easily predict infrastructure failures weeks in advance, minimize unplanned downtime, optimize chemical dosing, and significantly reduce energy costs.

A seven-month pilot study shows how ozone treatment reduced hydrogen sulfide and TOC at the Hidden Springs Water Treatment Facility, improving water quality and validating a scalable alternative.

Next-generation chlorine sensors eliminate the need for reagents and membranes, while offering flow-independent, multi-parameter, self-cleaning operation. This reduces maintenance and enhances monitoring accuracy.

When a new wastewater facility is being designed and built, the engineers, contractors, and plant operators look for the most effective and cutting-edge solution available at the time of the install. But while many circumstances can be foreseen and planned for, changing regulations and treatment environments can usurp plant designs, quickly making them obsolete.

Pressurized dewatering is typically suitable for sewer systems in outlying areas with no direct access to local gravity sewer lines. It solves groundwater pollution problems by utilizing current pumping technology combined with modern trends in sewage removal.

The question often arises: “Can you really eliminate thrust blocks using joint restraint?” This bulletin will provide you with the information needed for you to realize the answer to that question is “yes”. For many years, thrust blocks have been successfully used in distribution systems all over the world. Thrust blocks, however, are not without limitations.

Learn why Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) in California installed a Vaughan Rotamix hydraulic mixing system next to an identical anaerobic digester with a seven-year-old gas mixing system.

The City of Hot Springs, Arkansas, knows the challenges of dealing with aging infrastructure well. The city’s 143-year-old system covers 923 miles of water mains in rocky terrain, making it difficult to detect leaks. That is why the utility’s water department decided to act. 

Founded in 1982, Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority supplies drinking water to a region of approximately one million people. Its surface water treatment plant draws water from the Peace River to a reservoir and treats it to drinking water standards at the rate of about 31 million gallons a day.

HOMA submersible water and wastewater pumps operate worldwide in numerous domestic, municipal, and industrial applications. Over 60 years of experience in the design and manufacturing of submersible pumps ensures the utmost reliability and long service life of all HOMA products.

Discover how a municipal water department installed an 8" control valve at a busy intersection in one day, protecting a nearby gas main and maintaining continuous service to medical offices and a local school.

In this segment of Virtual Water Expo, discover how to eliminate fats, oils, and grease (FOG) in your collection system while pre-processing wastewater for the treatment plant.
