01.24.25 -- New Tech Could Make Desalination Affordable

This webinar addresses PFAS contamination challenges for water utilities, focusing on treatment solutions like GAC and IX. It highlights strategies for regulatory compliance and features a demonstration of the Transcend Design Generator (TDG) to speed up treatment facility design. Participants will learn about regulations, effective treatments, and generative design for cost-efficient solutions. Click here to learn more.

There are a few things that smaller water treatment plants should keep in mind when homing in on the most viable technologies for PFAS. 

Cr(VI) is a regulated contaminant in drinking water because it can cause gastrointestinal, liver, and developmental toxicity in humans when ingested. A facility was unable to discharge to their POTW because the CR(VI) concentration in their wastewater stream was over the regulated discharge limit. 

Recognizing the urgent need to ensure safe drinking water, the Queenstown Lakes District Council in New Zealand partnered with FILTEC to implement advanced UV water treatment solutions across key plants.

Learn about a solution that employs a combination of grinding, solids removal, washing, and dewatering, and enables a typical septage truck to unload in 5 to 15 minutes. 

Water utilities across the United States have made great strides in controlling water loss within their water distribution systems. However, more can be done to account for every last drop of water.

Read about a desalination plant that was in need of a practical verification methodology for permanent and/or temporary (portable) solutions on large pipes.

More companies offer mechanized grit removal systems and services than ever before, underscoring the increasing grit removal focus in the industry. The rising application of membrane bioreactors (MBRs), specialized pumping equipment, and fine bubble diffusers in wastewater treatment plant infrastructure require protective equipment up front to maximize service life and operation.

Due to rapid population growth in its service area, Verrado Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) in Verrado, Arizona faced a challenge. Its existing treatment capacity of 1.54 MGD had become insufficient to meet the rising demand and comply with both total suspended solids (TSS) and total nitrogen (TN) permits.

Learn about a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Louisiana that was having problems with its clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter, and how the issue was resolved. 

Water challenges are intensifying, stressing infrastructure that is already badly in need of renewal. Advances in digital technologies are enabling better system hygiene, more efficient monitoring and diagnostics, more targeted investments, and a transition to a "primary care" model for system management. 

Whether you’re just entering the workforce or looking for a change of scenery, there has never been a better time to consider the water industry.

Both radio frequency (RF) and cellular AMI systems have their pros and cons. Hybrid AMI systems leverage the strengths of each as needed.
