FEATURED ARTICLES

The Role Of Ozone In Municipal Water Treatment

Discover why ozone, a powerful oxidant and sanitizer, has become a leading solution for addressing water quality challenges.

Reclaiming Your Time: The Advantages Of Advanced Pump And Sump Monitoring

Utilities can leverage advanced technologies to make monitoring and maintenance easier for operators to execute with fewer advanced skills, while reducing manpower and increasing the life of equipment.

MBR Solutions For Modern Industries

This white paper will explore advanced, sustainable wastewater management systems that align with your business' growth trajectories and emergent needs. 

Protecting The Environment With Environmental Remediation

Environmental remediation involves the removal of pollutants to protect human health and restore ecosystems. Learn more about the various techniques used, and how to ensure these projects are handled professionally.

Non-Traditional ROI: There's More Value In Technology Solutions Than Your Money

In this article, take a look at a few non-traditional ROI considerations when thinking about a new technology purchase. 

Continuous Emission Monitoring In Practice

Each country has laws and regulations for emission monitoring and control. On one hand, the demand is driven by increasing regulation and stricter enforcement; on the other, by public pressure on industries to operate sustainably.

A Proactive Approach To Service Line Inventory

In this case study, learn how Silver Creek Water Corporation successfully created a lead service line inventory with the help of 120Water. They have only 7 unknown service lines left out of 7,000 and plan to eliminate them through a resident survey.

BioLargo Takes PFAS Innovation To A New Level

Many factors go into picking the right PFAS treatment solution and there is no silver bullet, no “black box”.  And knowing what questions to ask for any particular system can vary state to state, depending on the influent water. 

Oxidation Reduction Potential

Oxidation reduction potential (ORP) is the activity or strength of oxidizers and reducers in relation to their concentration. Examples of oxidizers are chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, bromine, ozone, and chlorine dioxide. Examples of reducers are sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfate, and hydrogen sulfide. Like acidity and alkalinity, the increase of one is at the expense of the other.

Providing Safe Drinking Water To A Rural Community Impacted By PFAS

Read about how ECT2 was able to help a customer and their engineering team design and install a treatment system quickly after PFAS were detected in their drinking water.

Removing Microplastics With Engineered Bacteria

PET plastics take hundreds of years to degrade in the environment, and they break down into microplastics over time. Researchers have engineered a species of bacteria found in wastewater to break down microplastics before the pollution can persist in the environment.

How Green Infrastructure Could Help Sewers Overwhelmed By Climate Change

Increasing population means sewers are sometimes overwhelmed without any rainfall at all. Then, add climate change to the mix. Heavier downpours are becoming more common, which spells trouble for sewer systems that simply cannot cope with increasing volumes of water. A combined sewer system is especially vulnerable.

Turning The Tide On Water Scarcity With High-Efficiency Technology

Installing or upgrading high-efficiency motors in water management reduces energy consumption and emissions throughout the water management process, from pumping stations to water treatment plants and irrigation systems.
