Webinar: Pipes to Pixels: Murfreesboro's Digital Twin for Efficient Flushing

Join us on March 18th to learn how the Murfreesboro Water Resources Department improved efficiency with digital twin technology, streamlining unidirectional flushing. The results included shorter flushing programs, zero complaints, and better material removal. By using real-time data, MWRD enhanced decision-making, enabling operators of all skill levels to run simulations and analyze key metrics. Click here to learn more.

FEATURED ARTICLES

Thermal Reactivation Series: Calcium Catalysis

Understanding the impact of pore size distribution on adsorption is crucial for water utilities aiming to optimize PFAS removal.

Panametrics Water Flow Meters: Boundary Busting Longevity And Quality

Late last millennium, Panametrics installed a model 6068 liquid clamp-on flow meter for the measurement of water in Kinlochleven Hydro Power, a hydroelectric power plant in Scotland, to monitor turbine generator performance.

Predictive Modeling For Water Main Condition Assessments: M77 Manual Guidance

By waiting for water mains to break before taking action, utilities risk high, unanticipated costs, public disruption, safety concerns, and loss of community trust. So, what does it look like to move from reactive to proactive when it comes to water main management?

PFAS Treatment: Tackling "Forever Chemicals" In Our Environment

This guide delves into the history, widespread applications, and evolving strategies to understand and mitigate the impacts of PFAS on health and ecosystems.

Unlocking The Potential Of Jet Aeration Technology: A Journey Through History

Learn about the early history, development, and modern-day applications of jet aerators, highlighting their significance in wastewater treatment

Why Wastewater Systems Need A Preventative Maintenance Agreement For Pumps

This article explores the value of preventative maintenance and why utilities should consider using a vendor preventative maintenance agreement (PMA) over hiring and training in-house staff.

Water Management Tips For Natural Disasters

Remote water shut-off valves and preemptive planning enable municipalities to protect water infrastructure and respond effectively during natural disasters, ensuring public safety and service continuity.

The Foundation Of Peak Performance

In this case study, read about an underdrain system that continues to operate as expected after 16 years of operation and appears to be in perfect condition. 

Repairing A Suspended Pipe Within 30 Minutes With HYMAX Permanent Repair Sleeve

In the picturesque village of Arzacq-Arraziguet in southwestern France, a critical water pipeline repair showcased the efficiency of modern tools and techniques.

Why Measuring Hydrogen Sulfide In Wastewater Matters

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas in wastewater environments is a familiar concern. But waiting until its odor is detected can be too late to exert as much control over it as desired. Fortunately, a new ability to monitor H2S concentrations is advantageous for wastewater professionals in terms of safety, cost, and consumer complaints. Here are four ways to capitalize on that capability.
