07.10.26 -- New Approach Boosts Microplastic Removal From Wastewater

Discover how AMI creates lasting value beyond automated meter reading. In this webinar, Milcrofton Utility District and Kamstrup examine eight years of performance data to show how measurement-driven management improves efficiency, reduces water loss, and strengthens ROI. Learn how to track meaningful metrics, communicate results, and leverage trusted data to support smarter decisions and long-term utility success. Click here to learn more.

Because the carbon-fluorine bond is one of the shortest and strongest chemical bonds, PFAS are a persistent problem once introduced into the environment. Activated carbon (AC) and ion exchange resin (IX) are two of the commonly used technologies to remove PFAS from groundwater and surface water. 

With funds falling short of costs for pending PFAS rules compliance, utilities require an economical treatment solution.

In this article, Transcend will highlight the importance of EPA PFAS drinking water standards as well as how they ensure safe and clean water systems. We also provide the opportunity to streamline wastewater design for utilities, engineering consultants, and equipment suppliers.

Drinking water professionals and engineers understand that maintaining safe and high-quality water throughout the distribution system is a critical responsibility. Chlorine, the backbone of disinfection, ensures safety, but its effectiveness can falter in the complex network of pipes, tanks, and dead ends.

County operations staff investigated the wastewater collection system that serves a Virginia neighborhood and found that odor was proliferating throughout the neighborhood. Corrosion of the sewer manholes was clearly evident.

Condensation, build up, obstructions and silt can cause difficulties in making reliable level measurements in lift station wet wells. New trends in low cost radar units solve these problems.

The key to lowering your operating costs might be changing a few or more air blowers from your blower installation. Is it time to replace your equipment? Let’s check!

When frigid temperatures hinder standard filtration, mobile high-rate clarification provides a rapid response to stabilize effluent quality. This approach ensures total phosphorus remains below strict permit limits during seasonal spikes without requiring long-term capital investment or infrastructure overhauls.

Historically, lift station operators have turned to chemical treatments as the primary means of managing grease buildup. However, these methods carry inherent drawbacks.

Across the globe, water systems face an invisible crisis that drains billions of dollars every year. In the U.S. alone, aging infrastructure causes water losses costing utilities an estimated $6.4 billion annually. But a breakthrough in satellite-based leak detection is changing the game, delivering unprecedented savings and operational efficiency. 

For Aspen France, the low maintenance and high reliability of Swan's AMI LineTOC monitors resulted in several installations. Hear from an Aspen utilities manager about the benefits of online measurement. 

Modernizing water infrastructure requires robust digital systems to manage high-volume metering data. Centralizing this information enables precise leak detection, accurate water balancing, and proactive customer engagement, ultimately driving operational efficiency and long-term sustainability goals.
