FEATURED ARTICLES

Greater Efficiency And Peace Of Mind With The KETOS SHIELD

In this case study, explore how a municipality automated its water quality testing to ensure compliance in real time. 

Clearing Up Misconceptions About Turbidimeter Performance And Calibration

There is little doubt about the importance of taking turbidity readings as part of drinking water treatment. However, there are certain misperceptions about the associated requirements and procedures needed to confirm the validity of those readings.

Why MBR's Higher Energy Demand Still Reduces Overall OPEX In Wastewater Treatment

MBRs offer long-term cost savings by reducing sludge, chemicals, and labor — even with higher energy use — making them a future-proof, total-efficiency upgrade over traditional wastewater treatment systems.

Tips For Choosing A Jobsite Dewatering System

Dewatering systems for construction sites aren’t one size fits all. Choosing the most appropriate dewatering system for the job will yield the best results in the least amount of time.

Solving Foaming Problems At Your WWTP

This project provides an unusual "before-and-after" comparison of how a high-solids loaded digester system with a Rotamix mixing system performed before and after the Foambuster was installed.

All-In-One Headworks Systems: An Economical, Efficient, And High-Performing Solution For Wastewater Treatment

For municipalities with small and medium-sized populations or in rural locations, designing state-of-the-art systems and navigating complex construction projects can be particularly daunting. This is where all-in-one headworks solutions offer a game-changing advantage.

Revolutionizing Water Loss Management With Actionable ERP

Water utilities aiming to reduce their Non-Revenue Water (NRW) rates must first identify the type of water loss they’re facing—whether apparent or real—before allocating resources, fixing issues, and following up to ensure resolution.
