02.02.26 -- Revolutionary Technology To Permanently Remove PFAS From Water Unveiled

Traditional sensors are impractical for continuous hot water quality monitoring, creating a Legionella control gap. New sensor technology allows cost-effective, multi-parameter, no-waste, in-pipe monitoring for enhanced building safety.

Though new EPA regulations are set to enforce stricter limits on PFAS in drinking water by 2029, millions of students are already attending schools in areas with elevated risk today.

Drinking water professionals and engineers understand that maintaining safe and high-quality water throughout the distribution system is a critical responsibility. Chlorine, the backbone of disinfection, ensures safety, but its effectiveness can falter in the complex network of pipes, tanks, and dead ends.

Discover how a wastewater treatment plant solved its mixing problem that was caused by the high sludge content. 

By utilizing advanced technologies to monitor water lines, utilities can detect leaks in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

What began as a lofty idea will soon become a reality as a new regional water authority is established in Northwest Missouri. The Great Northwest Wholesale Water Commission will supply water to more than 11,000 people in rural areas of Cameron and Maysville, Missouri, with the capability to expand to other communities in the future.

Wastewater treatment plants face the ongoing challenge of efficiently processing wastewater from various sources, including residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, to mitigate pollution and safeguard environmental health.

Pinnacle Ozone works with many water professionals in North and South America using a wide spectrum of application methods for water and wastewater treatment. One such company using a novel approach to wastewater treatment is BlueInGreen, LLC, which is based in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The City of Hammonton’s original steel bar screen rusted while continually allowing debris to pass through to the oxidation ditch and final clarifier. Floatables found their way through the plant to the UV trough, clogging the RAS and internal recycle pumps along the way. Managers of the Hammonton Wastewater Treatment Plant took on the challenge of finding a more efficient screening system.

As utilities face rising demand for clean drinking water and aging infrastructure, smart water technologies are stepping up to deliver meaningful improvements.

Across the globe, water systems face an invisible crisis that drains billions of dollars every year. In the U.S. alone, aging infrastructure causes water losses costing utilities an estimated $6.4 billion annually. But a breakthrough in satellite-based leak detection is changing the game, delivering unprecedented savings and operational efficiency. 

For private utility owners and operators, legacy infrastructure isn’t a sunk cost. It’s an opportunity. And with the right retrofit strategy, that aging wastewater treatment facility can become a stable, revenue-generating asset.
