07.25.25 -- Rising Seas, Salty Rivers: A Growing Threat To Our Water Supplies

Because standards are a moving target while treatment options are limited and can represent a massive expense, addressing PFAS can be especially challenging for small water systems. The key to finding an optimal solution requires a thorough investigation of the available options.

Years ago, high purity water was used only in limited applications. Today, deionized (Dl) water has become an essential ingredient in hundreds of applications including: medical, laboratory, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, electronics manufacturing, food processing, plating, countless industrial processes, and even the final rinse at the local car wash.

Here are some insights that can help water treatment plant (WTP) operators deal with their internal concerns about disinfection byproducts (DBPs) and residual chlorine or ammonia levels, as well as their external concerns about customer perceptions of water quality.

How can water utilities address the needs of climate change today while future-proofing the system to make upgrades easier and more cost effective?

Wastewater is tough on grinder cutters. Damaging abrasion wear and metal corrosion are caused by daily gritty material and acidic conditions in sewage. The combination of an abrasive and corrosive environment accelerates the loss of cutter material, resulting in the loss of cutter thickness and tooth edges.

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

Being able to identify necessary resources, as well as distribute them accurately and expeditiously, is paramount in an emergency situation.

Reliability is especially important in the wastewater treatment sector. One is that the blowers have to dependably operate in conditions that are often very harsh.

Decentralized wastewater management, when coupled with reuse or recycling of treated sanitary sewage, increases treatment options and creates even greater value than when employed alone.

Read about the most effective ways for utilities to leverage digital solutions to drive intelligent water asset management and capital planning decisions. 

With aging infrastructures, lean and limited personnel, lower budgets, and less accessible, often remote locations, smaller and rural water treatment plants are challenged in maintaining operations while understanding new and important technologies in improving contaminant removal in water treatment. 

This white paper aims to highlight crucial considerations for utilities contemplating cellular networks as the foundation of their communication systems.
