How Utilities, Engineers, And Manufacturers Can Overcome Mounting PFAS Compliance Workloads

Recent federal PFAS regulations will overwhelm consulting engineers, water and wastewater utilities, and equipment manufacturers as thousands of utilities work to comply. Generative design can enable these parties to meet the workload demand and deadlines.

Thermal Reactivation Series: Lab-Scale Reactivation Plus RSSCT Testing

With new EPA regulations setting PFAS limits in the low parts per trillion (ppt), granular activated carbon (GAC) usage is surging, leading to increased operational costs and supply chain strain.

Preparing Your Valves For Winter With Proactive Maintenance

As the cold weather sets in, water distribution and wastewater systems face increased stress, making it important to ensure critical components like valves are in peak condition.

Aclara RF Network System Stands Up To Hurricane Sandy

When Hurricane Sandy struck in October of 2012, Aclara's RF network technology, which was installed across New York City's five boroughs, was under pressure to perform effectively. 

How To Properly Start Up And Condition A New Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Bed

Bed conditioning and startup procedures are designed to optimize the performance of the carbon bed and maximize adsorption capacity to achieve treatment goals.

Unseen Connections: How Non-Revenue Water Is Linked To The Hidden Hazard Of Sinkholes

This article explores how non-revenue water (NRW) can contribute to the formation of sinkholes, and why addressing NRW is vital for preventing these potentially dangerous occurrences.

Acoustic Inspection Helps Campbell River Optimize Inspection Program

In this case study, explore how incorporating the SL-RAT into their maintenance program has realized significant savings for the city of Campbell River.

What Is The Right Pace For Digital Transformation?

The digital journey is a marathon, not a sprint. Utilities are more likely to succeed if they map out big-picture goals and then start with small projects.

Efficient Carbon And Ion Exchange Media Exchange

This document outlines the essential steps required to exchange spent media, including disposal of spent media.

Aquafine Ultraviolet Treatment Systems For Liquid Sugar

Learn about an alternative technique that food and beverage manufacturers can use to protect their products from microbial contamination while maintaining product quality and shelf-life, without chemical additives preservatives.
