Webinar: Beyond Smart Meters - Engineering A 20-Year Total Water Loss Solution

This webinar covers Kamstrup’s ALD water meters with embedded acoustic leak detection, offering 20 years of life. This technology improves water management, reduces costs, and supports city planning by detecting leaks and pressure changes. Case studies highlight how utilities save time, water, and money. Key topics include battery life, leak detection, and benefits for city infrastructure and development. Click here to learn more.

FEATURED ARTICLES

Are Your Chemical Metering Pumps Accurate Or Repeatable? (And Why It Matters)

Repeatability is the unsung hero that ensures consistent and predictable dosing day after day. Operators should understand the difference between accuracy and repeatability and how each affects treatment processes.

Using Bubbles To Reduce Toil And Trouble

Two innovative products leverage natural fluid dynamics, biology, and aeration principles to reduce labor and energy consumption in wastewater applications — the Lagoon Master Aerator and the Wet Well Wizard.

Ready For The Storm: Bar Screens That Are At Their Best During Nature's Worst

Duperon’s stormwater line of products was designed to address the unique challenges faced in screening stormwater during storms.

Thermal Reactivation Series: A Sustainable And Feasible Solution For Utilities Using GAC

GAC’s finite adsorption capacity poses challenges in meeting treatment objectives, including EPA regulatory limits.

3 Contributing Factors To McCrometer's Low Lead Times

The key to McCrometer’s low lead times is no “secret sauce.” It’s ultimately a combination of 3 factors that contribute to the delivery of necessary flow measurement devices – despite the current supply chain predicament.

Horticulture And EC Testing

Modern growing practices include scientific evaluations of soil, water, fertilizers, diseases, etc. While some tests are best performed by a laboratory, others can be easily conducted on location, saving time and money.

Construction Consideration For Sewer Systems

Pressure sewers (effluent or grinder) and gravity sewers require different methods of construction, different installation techniques, and different degrees of accessibility to install the various products and system components. The construction impact of installing any sewer system technology falls under two main categories: on-lot and right-of-way (ROW). 

Testing Better Paths To Contaminant Control

As a utility, it is tough enough to be notified that you need to remove a new contaminant of emerging concern (CEC). It’s even harder without having a complete picture of what is involved. 

Laundry Water Recovery System Reduces Freshwater Use By Over 50 Percent

In Mexico City, few residents have tap water or washing machines and most visit laundromats to clean their clothes. To keep up with demand, most of the city’s laundromats take delivery of fresh water three or four times per day at great expense to facility owners. Virtually none of this water is reused or recycled. 

Unlocking Seized Valves

In the realm of water supply and wastewater management, the smooth operation of critical valves is essential for maintaining network efficiency and reliability. However, the challenge of seized water and wasterwater valves often leads to disruptions, increased maintenance costs, and compromised service quality.

Exploring Flow Measurement Technologies And Best Practices Across Diverse Industries

The challenges regarding flow measurement are consistent amongst many industries. Whether it’s Oil & Gas or Green Energy or any other closely related industry, solutions for these measurements and calibrations related to flow are available. Adam Schleyhahn, Director of Sales and Marketing for FCI joins the show to tell us more.

Rotamix Process Mixing System Brochure

Vaughan’s Rotamix system is today’s most cost effective means of mechanical hydraulic mixing, consisting of an engineered arrangement of floor mounted nozzles fed by a Vaughan chopper pump.

Loprest Multi-Cell Filter

Loprest pressure filters can be provided in horizontal or vertical configurations for flow rates from 50 to 5,000 GPM. The Loprest multi-cell pressure filter design produces its own backwash water, so there is no need for a separate treated water source and pumping system.

FEATURED GUEST COLUMNS

A Paradigm Shift In Reservoir Management

It has been more than 25 years since the EPA and NOAA were tasked with managing the escalating risks posed by eutrophication. Despite decades of effort and significant investment, the problem worsens each year with no meaningful progress in prevention or reversal.

How Water Reuse Projects Are Addressing Water Scarcity In The West — And Beyond

As water scarcity becomes a stark reality around the globe, more municipalities, water utilities, and industrial enterprises are exploring water reuse projects and adopting regulations to support them. Fundamentally, water reuse can help drought-proof regions and diversify water supply portfolios with recycled water.
