Flow Meter Enhances Chlorination System Performance For Municipal Water Department

The water municipality at a mid-size city in the Western region of the U.S. serving a population of about 180,000 people needed to address a chlorine disinfection system problem at one of its water treatment plants.

Pump Maintenance Know-How

In this article, see if you can identify your own trouble spots and uncover potential solutions to get you back on the road to good pump health — boosting profits along the way. 

A Non-Intrusive Solution For Measuring Wastewater Flow In A WWTP's Iron Pipes

A municipal association needed to understand if wastewater was being equally distributed across two cast iron pipes within its wastewater treatment plant. Learn how clamp-on ultrasonic measurement helped successfully measure the flow.  

Navigating The Flow: Mastering TDH Calculations For Your Rental Pump Needs

Whether you’re tackling temporary dewatering, transferring essential fluids, or managing complex waste and wastewater operations, finding the right rental pump is crucial. But beyond choosing the appropriate horsepower or flow rate, understanding Total Dynamic Head (TDH) is key to ensuring your pumping project runs smoothly and efficiently.

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.

Operando Studies Of Iodine Species In An Advanced Oxidative Water Treatment Reactor

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are emerging as a promising class of technologies for treatment of industrial and municipal waste streams for removal of recalcitrant contaminants including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, a key facet of wastewater treatment

Quick Response Following Tropical Storm Prevents Service Disruption

Following Tropical Storm Isaias, a damaged reservoir outlet pipe needed fast, custom repair. Learn how a quick response, site assessment, and custom-engineered couplings prevented a major water service shutdown.

Recycling Dairy Farm Wastewater For Irrigation Purposes By Using ABF Filters

In order to use pond water for irrigation, a filtration system was required with the ability to handle high loads of suspended solids as well as the suspended organic loads from the pond. Learn how Amiad supplied a solution.

Optimization Of Wastewater Treatment Plant Processes With The Help Of AI

It is more important than ever for cities and municipalities to leverage wastewater treatment plant data to optimize operational efficiency and sustainability, given the increase in energy prices and the rising frequency of severe weather events due to climate change.

HOD UV Disinfection Solution For Dairy (PMO)

Atlantium’s HOD (Hydro-Optic Disinfection) UV technology is a proven, chemical-free solution for producing pasteurized equivalent water (PEW) in dairy processing.
