How Flow Technology Can Ease The Inflow And Infiltration Headache

This article will explain why rain-dependent inflow and infiltration (RDI&I) measurement often fails and how to produce the level of data quality that can detect, understand, and manage it.

Ceramic Membranes Offer High Performance, Long Life, And Lower Operating Costs For Water Treatment

Microfiltration and ultrafiltration have become mainstays in the water treatment arena. These processes remove contaminants from water by passing it through a low-pressure membrane. Membrane filters are constructed with a variety of materials with various pore sizes. The challenge is determining which best suits the application with regard to performance, cost, and ease of operation.

The Hidden Cost Of Water Leaks

Every day in the U.S., an estimated 6 billion gallons of water is lost due to leaks in our water distribution systems. That’s enough to meet the needs of 60 million people — and it’s not just your water that’s being lost.

Energy Savings With Jet Aeration: The Devil Is In The Details

Conserving energy and saving costs are always on the minds of wastewater professionals. Aeration accounts for more than 50% of electrical usage at most treatment plants. Improved aeration efficiency will always work toward the goals of saving energy and reducing operating costs.

Hydroinformatics 101: Intro To Water Optimization And Efficiency

Hydroinformatics offers a fresh perspective that is enabling communities around the world to tackle age-old problems in new ways and with a bigger toolset.

Using Master Controls To Enhance Aeration And Reduce Power Use

Precision management of dissolved oxygen (DO) allows wastewater treatment plant operators to maintain optimal biological conditions in their activated sludge basins. However, older blowers and a lack of advanced aeration oversight can sabotage that effort while substantially wasting money.

The Importance Of Pilot Testing Capital Investments For Wastewater Treatment Plants

By providing valuable data and insights, pilot tests enable facilities to make informed decisions, optimize their operations, and mitigate risks associated with new technologies.

Preserving Pressure, Protecting Service: Upgrading Hydrant Infrastructure In Kent County

When Kent County Water Authority faced the urgent replacement of a 94-year-old hydrant tied to a 1931 cast iron main, they were determined to maintain fire protection and avoid customer disruption.

A Fairy Tale Ending At A Pump Station

When the Otay River Pump Station had a floating blanket of grease problem, they turned to the Vaughan Chopper Pump to help eliminate it — while also being a cost-effective solution.

The Advantages Of Synthetic Quartz In TOC Systems

This article discusses the importance of total organic carbon (TOC) reduction in microelectronics and highlights the advantages of using synthetic quartz in TOC systems.

How Hyper-Detailed Modeling Is Strengthening Worker Safety And Water Infrastructure Resilience

Water utilities are under mounting pressure to modernize aging infrastructure while keeping budgets under control, forcing owners and contractors to deliver reliable projects with leaner teams, tighter windows, and greater scrutiny. Hyper-detailed modeling is emerging as a critical solution for these challenges.

 

Cut Costs, Cut Timelines: Rethink Your Next Water Project

Small municipalities and industrial sites face constant pressure: deliver safe, stable water with limited resources and tight deadlines. Traditional on-site construction can stretch project schedules by months and introduce quality and cost risks. By shifting much of the fabrication off-site, these risks are dramatically reduced.
