In this episode of The Water Online Show, host Angela Godwin sits down with Mike Saunders from Orenco to explore how a small Oregon startup founded in a garage grew into an industry leader redefining decentralized wastewater solutions.

SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

How Utilities, Engineers, And Manufacturers Can Overcome Mounting PFAS Compliance Workloads

Recent federal PFAS regulations will overwhelm consulting engineers, water and wastewater utilities, and equipment manufacturers as thousands of utilities work to comply. Generative design can enable these parties to meet the workload demand and deadlines.

 

Designing And Evaluating A Water Treatment Media Pilot

Evaluating the use of activated carbon and other media for water treatment is a crucial step to ensure project goals are achieved.

Ion Exchange Resin Versus Granular Activated Carbon For Drinking Water Treatment

A cost-effective option for PFAS removal and MCL compliance is the addition of an ion exchange resin (IEX) treatment as a “bolt-on” to an existing drinking water treatment plant.

How Ozone Generators Effectively Remove 1,4-Dioxane From Water Supplies

This white paper shows how ozone can be used for the safe, effective removal of 1,4-dioxane from water. 

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

Eclipse Gear Pumps For Chemical Dosing: Middlesex Water Company

Pulsafeeder’s Eclipse pumps provide successful chemical dosing at the Middlesex Water Company in Highland Park, New Jersey.

 

Rental Pumps In Action At The Kaiserschleuse Lock In Bremerhaven, Germany

A contractor needed a reliable pump supplier and service provider with extensive expertise in project planning and implementation, and one that had direct access to sufficient and appropriate pumping equipment.

Achieving Level Pressure At Challenging Points In Distribution Systems

When drinking water leaves a treatment plant through giant pipes, with the help of huge pumps, the pressure can exceed 200 psi. The high pressure is a necessity because water must travel a long distance in some cases.

Reducing Costs For Water Distribution System Maintenance

Maintaining a water distribution system requires constant management. From leaking pipes to broken valves or even distribution expansion, there always seems to be something to do and you will never be short of work. But are “old” ways of performing maintenance and repair creating unnecessary costs?

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Advancing Wastewater Treatment Through Specialized Bioaugmentation Solutions

Read about how new anaerobic treatment products address critical challenges in digester performance and biogas production.

 

Sink Or Swim! Managing Wastewater System Emergencies

Being able to identify necessary resources, as well as distribute them accurately and expeditiously, is paramount in an emergency situation.

Chemical Treatment Solutions For Municipal Wastewater

In this article, we discuss the function of various types of chemicals used, and why we believe a FLEXFLO peristaltic dosing pump is the best choice to deliver those chemicals.

Wastewater Treatment Double-Play Game Winner

While aeration and digester wastewater treatment systems are fundamentally different, they share common challenges when it comes to accurate air/gas flow measurement. Flow meters need to operate over a wide flow range, fluctuating from very high to low rates.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

AI And The Water Sector

Much has been speculated already about how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) can help out many sectors, including the water sector. It might seem like a far-fetched idea for some utilities, but others are already helping to forge this into reality.

 

How Predictive Modeling Improves Condition Assessments

AI-enabled predictive modeling positively impacts four categories: risk mitigation, enhanced decision-making, cost savings, and customer satisfaction.

Finding Your Team's Ideal AI Inspection Solution

The rippling effects of AI-powered defect coding alone are quickly changing the way municipalities approach sewer maintenance and asset management.

Gain Control Of Your Data

Water challenges are intensifying, stressing infrastructure that is already badly in need of renewal. Advances in digital technologies are enabling better system hygiene, more efficient monitoring and diagnostics, more targeted investments, and a transtion to a "primary care" model for system management.
