10.23.25 -- How AI Can Improve Storm Surge Forecasts; Breakthrough In Making Seawater Drinkable

In Part 3 of the Get Pumped Up series, the spotlight is on speed: how utilities can identify and solve lift station inefficiencies without waiting six months for a redesign study.

Discover how a wastewater treatment plant solved its mixing problem that was caused by the high sludge content. 

The use of lead pipes was banned in the 1980s, yet over 9.2 million American households still connect to water through lead pipes and lead service lines. These decades-old lead pipes pose an ever-present risk to the health and wellbeing of Americans.

The city of Spanish Fork authorized building a water storage reservoir that serves as both a buffer for supplementing peak period water usage and as a recreational facility. Learn how Amiad's filters played a part.

In a high-stakes effort to protect the drinking water for 10,000 people near the Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, NH, ECT2 spearheaded a pilot study to combat PFAS contamination in the region's water supply.

Wastewater treatment facilities across municipal and industrial sectors are increasingly turning to bioaugmentation as a powerful tool to enhance treatment performance and system reliability. This biological enhancement technique introduces specialized bacterial or archaeal cultures into treatment systems to accelerate the breakdown of specific pollutants, offering a targeted solution for challenging contamination issues.

Wastewater treatment plants provide a viable option to accept and process the collected septage. However, the sheer concentration of the transported sludge can potentially cause plant upsets in smaller WWTP facilities.

This application note explores how an exclusive sensor has created entirely new ways to address hydrogen-sulfide concerns.

Continuous fluorescence measurements provide immediate insights into water health, detecting microbial contamination, nutrient pollution, and harmful algal blooms faster than traditional lab analysis.

Remote pressure monitoring is increasingly being implemented by progressive water utilities, both large and small, to get better visibility into their distribution systems. This results in lower operating costs and reduced stress on their aging pipe networks.

This tank has a smooth interior wall for easy cleaning, and the interior surfaces are lined with a chemical resistant coating for corrosion protection.

A new system removed all nine PFAS compounds from a municipality's water to non-detect levels in a single pass. Unlike traditional methods, it addresses both long- and short-chain PFAS while generating minimal waste.

Not only efficiency in the motors — pump hydraulics are key as well in getting the highest possible overall efficiency with consequently low energy consumption.
