Cracking The Code On Water Loss

In this episode of the Water Online Show, host Angela Godwin sits down with Krishna Prashanth from ABB to explore how modern utilities are tackling the growing challenges of water demand, climate change, and urbanization through smart technology.

SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Quick Solutions To PFAS In Drinking Water, Especially For Smaller Systems

With funds falling short of costs for pending PFAS rules compliance, utilities require an economical treatment solution.

Materials Can Impact Product Design Life And Produce Safer Drinking Water

Buna-N has been a widely used choice for elastomeric seats used in multiple types of valves including butterfly, rubber seated ball, and resilient seated check and gate valves in North America.

Measuring pH And Its Role In Corrosion Control

Corrosion control has always been a priority for distributing safe drinking water throughout the world's networks of pipelines. And beyond the significant health risks it poses, corrosion causes a number of other headaches for water systems.

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.

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

Revolutionizing Wastewater Management In Four Cities Through Water Mixing

Historically, lift station operators have turned to chemical treatments as the primary means of managing grease buildup. However, these methods carry inherent drawbacks. 

A New Master Lift Station Comes Into Service For Natchitoches, LA

The oldest town in the Louisiana Purchase, Natchitoches currently has a population of approximately 20,000 people. An old town means old infrastructure, so a project to upgrade the city’s master lift station was recently set into motion.

Revolutionizing Pumping Station Control

Read about an award-winning project that was able to effectively improve performance and control of sewage pumping stations.

Monsters Protect Pump Station, Weather Storms In Scotland

Pump blockages and rags are a significant barrier to energy and operational efficiencies at pump stations, causing unscheduled shutdowns, safety hazards for operators, costly equipment repairs, and increased power usage due to a decrease in the pumps’ hydraulic performance.

THE WATER ONLINE SHOW

On Location: ACE 2025 Highlights

In this episode of the Water Online Show, recorded on location at AWWA ACE in Denver, co-hosts Travis Kennedy and Angela Godwin recap two energetic days of interviews and insights from water industry leaders. From data integration to AI and frozen reagents, the duo explores the cutting edge of water and wastewater innovation. Tune in for a dive into the growing role of AI in the evolving landscape of water technology.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

How Advanced Biological Technologies Overcome Complex Wastewater Treatment Challenges In The Oil And Gas Sector

This white paper explores how advanced biological technologies — including MBBR, IFAS, SBR, and MBR systems — are transforming wastewater management in this sector.

Reduce Lifetime Costs With Steel Tanks For Wastewater Treatment

In municipal or industrial wastewater treatment applications, steel constructed tanks up to 5 MGD and below offer significant advantages over concrete — benefits that lead to lower operating and lifetime costs, regardless of application.

Eliminating Sludge Islands In Your Wastewater Lagoon

Old municipal and industrial wastewater lagoons have the tendency to build islands of sludge at various locations around the lagoon. It is most common for older lagoons to build such islands wherever wastewater enters the lagoons.

Size Your Ozone System In 5 Minutes Or Less

The most common questions about using ozone for the treatment of industrial wastewater relate to system sizing and pricing. Here are five quick rules of thumb to get a ‘ballpark size’ for your next ozone project. 

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

AMI Gets Faster With LoRaWAN Class B Specification

A smart city effectively harnesses and maximizes the use of digital technology and data analytics to enhance urban management, make well-informed choices, and elevate the standard of living for its inhabitants.

Making Data Usable

A utility’s ability to control and improve processes is only as good as the data it uses. Learn what it takes to make your data actionable.

Reducing Water Usage Costs In U.S. Datacenters Through Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring

This white paper provides a detailed 10-year cost comparison between freshwater usage and water recycling, showing that the total cost of recycling systems typically outweighs the cost of municipal water usage in the U.S.

The Transcend Design Generator Is Secretly An Advanced Data Analytics Software Package

The conceptual design output you get from the Transcend Design Generator (TDG) will inherently have value — the TDG already saved time and effort in creating the resulting conceptual design compared to traditional design approaches.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Water Technology Trends 2025: Revolutionizing Water Management

Urban sustainability is steaming ahead globally thanks to the revolution in smart buildings and district heating and cooling (DHC) networks, which aim to streamline resource and energy management in cities. The uptake of technologies such as integrated digital platforms is pivotal to optimizing these systems.
