SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

How Not To Get Oversold On Your PFAS Solution

Asking the right questions and properly vetting vendors are key to avoiding an over-engineered PFAS treatment package.

Planning For Total Resiliency In Fighting Contaminants Of Emerging Concern

In the constant flow of drinking water and wastewater treatment systems, operators have precious little time to waste. When unexpected changes arise, maintaining balance throughout the process is key.

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

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

Statistically Validating No Lead Or Low Lead For Service Line Inventory Compliance

Each state’s guidance on the use of statistical analysis (and predictive modeling) varies. Explore the specifics about your state’s guidance to use statistical analysis for no-lead validation and material classification.

New Life For Pumping Stations

Read about ambitious rehab projects that bring pump stations up to date and keep wastewater flowing. 

Estimating Groundwater Infiltration In Sewers

In this white paper, explore the performance and guidelines for proper application of four methods for estimating groundwater infiltration.

The Importance Of Grinder Design In Pump Protection

By breaking down solids into a manageable size, grinders allow pumps to work efficiently while avoiding downtime for cleaning and repair. However, not all grinders are the same. Here is a list of design features that are important to consider when making a grinder investment.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

ICEAS SBR Technology Improves Effluent Water Quality For St. Joseph WWTP

St. Joseph Sanitary District No. 1, near La Crosse, WI, operated a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) that served approximately 1,000 residential customers.

Minimizing Aerated Wastewater Treatment System Servicing

Reliability is especially important in the wastewater treatment sector. One is that the blowers have to dependably operate in conditions that are often very harsh.

No More Odors Here In Bakersfield California: Replacing Calcium Nitrate With SulFeLox

Faced with increasing costs for controlling hydrogen sulfide in its wastewater collection system, the City of Bakersfield, California commissioned an evaluation of its program in 2019.

Dissolved Oxygen Measurement In Continuous Aeration Sewage Treatment

When used to measure the dissolved oxygen in an aeration tank, sensors tend to quickly become contaminated and need frequent cleaning. A cost-effective solution to this problem has finally been found with the development of the Yokogawa DO402 Dissolved Oxygen Converter system.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Digital Master Plans For Water Utilities

In this article, Steve Drangsholt, Trinnex Sales representative, and Travis Wagner, VP of Digital Consulting, discuss creating digital master plans, their benefits, and changing the narrative.

What's Next For The Evolution Of Water AMI?

In the evolution of water distribution, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has become a valuable asset in reducing labor requirements, improving customer service and billing, and providing a baseline of information for better data management. The question is how much more can AMI do, and how can water utilities take maximum advantage? Here are some insights and ideas.

PCS 7 Cybersecurity Blueprint For Water Plants

This documentation is intended to help system integrators to set up a water plant more securely.

Rise Above The Data Deluge – Boost Utility Transformation With Data Integration

Digital technology is helping utilities revolutionize their operations, delivering efficiencies, lower costs, and better customer service. But as the array of digital solutions grows, so too does the range of data sources. Integrating and managing this data is key to maximizing digital solutions.
