Safeguarding Pool Water Quality With Advanced HOD UV: Hashmonaim Country Club

Hashmonaim Country Club owned by the Tel Aviv Municipality, is an indoor facility which had faced challenges in maintaining regulatory water quality standards.

Not All AMI Systems Are Equal: 7 Features That Stand Out

While every AMI system has specific advantages, the exact nature of those advantages depends heavily on the network itself and the technologies it leverages.

Comparison Of Ultra-Low-Range Total Chlorine Residual Limits Of Detection And Quantitation Across The Water Industry

Limits of detection and quantitation are key to understanding analytical instrumentation capabilities, especially when non-optimal process control can lead to damage of sensitive equipment due to insufficiently accurate readings.

The Smart Industry Readiness Index: A Path To Achieving Digital Maturity

In a time defined by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), a period transforming industries through advanced technologies, the manufacturing landscape is evolving beyond something we recognize as familiar. With the potential to automate processes, enhance data visibility, optimize operations, and redefine value chains, technology is revolutionizing industries across the globe.

Continuing Education: How About Online Training?

In this Q&A, Laura Tegethoff from 360water discusses online training for utilities. 

Containerized DVF Tertiary Wastewater Treatment System

A global ingredients group in Ireland installed a new 20-foot containerized tertiary treatment system at its largest liquid dairy plant, as part of the site’s ongoing wastewater compliance and to improve capacity to their existing wastewater treatment system.

PFAS: The Real Cost Of Inaction

ALTRA Proven Solutions experts believe there are two key areas where they can have a positive impact in helping to eliminate PFAS from our environment: Advocacy and Innovation through ALTRA PFAS solutions.

City Of Warren, MI, Installs Promag W For Waste-Activated Sludge Application

The City of Warren Water Recovery Facility in Michigan treats and protects the waters of the state. Read the full case study to learn how the facility has been able to attain accurate data at a high repeatability rate since the installation of the Promag W unrestricted mounting 0 x DN electromagnetic flow meter.

Variable Frequency Drives In Wastewater Treatment Stations

Just 20 years ago, many professionals did not consider using variable frequency drives (VFDs) in wastewater applications. Frequency converters were relatively expensive, and experience using them with the special conditions and requirements in wastewater was limited.

How Microelectronics Fabricators Are Achieving Net-Zero Discharge

Technological advancements, particularly in UV treatment, have paved the way for efficient net-zero discharge practices that make it cost-effective compared to consuming and treating municipal water for production.

AWWA Files Legal Petition Over LCRI Implementation Challenges

In December of 2024, AWWA filed a Petition for Review of the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The organization argues that, while it supports the goals of the LCRI, it believes the legislation, in its current form, “is not feasible.” In comments on the LCRI, AWWA notes that water utilities have already made many adjustments to comply with the LCRR.

How To Detect More Antimicrobial-Resistant Bacteria In Our Waterways

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in waterways presents a critical threat. If commonly used antibiotics are deemed useless, decades of progress in human medicine and agriculture could be undermined. But AMR is not just a human health issue. It also contributes to a decline in water quality and is exacerbated by water pollution, particularly from sources such as sewage and agricultural runoff.
