FEATURED ARTICLES

Sulzer Helps To Dewater "Stuttgart 21," The Largest Deep Construction Project In Europe

Read about a dewatering project that includes 57 kilometers of new railways with 34 kilometers of tunnels and 25 kilometers of high-speed lines. 

Which Gate Valve Is Best For Today's Waterworks Systems?

Outdated specifications can sometimes lead to confusion regarding which gate valve should be used. Understanding how the standards have evolved and why can help utilities understand the source of this confusion. 

Henry County Water Authority Ensures Water Distribution Keeps Up With Increasing Demand From A Growing Population

To address the growing population and projected water demand over the next 30 Years, the Henry County Water Authority recently completed a master plan update that includes two booster pump stations — the Fairview booster pump station and the Southeastern booster pump station.

How To Optimize Your DAF System With The Right Air Dissolving Pump

In our next few blog posts, we'll take a deep dive into what to look for in your DAF system to take its performance and efficiency to the next level.

How Industrial Facilities Can Achieve Compliance And Prevent Downstream Contamination Using Advanced Oxidation Processes

Read about how advanced oxidation processes can offer exceptional benefits in preventing contaminants from leaching into groundwater and surface water. 

Bootstrapping: A Key To Reliable Service Line Material Predictions In Water Systems

When it comes to lead service lines, it is crucial to get accurate metrics. Both false negatives and false positives could have a negative impact. This is where a technique called bootstrapping can help. 

Understanding Ultrapure Water, Difficulties With pH Measurement

By gaining insights into the diverse types of pH measuring analyzers and sensors, companies can make informed decisions to enhance their UPW management strategies and drive operational excellence.

Pump Protection Flow Switch Reduces Pump Maintenance And Extends Life

Process and plant engineers tired of repairing or replacing pumps because of unpredictable liquid or slurry flows in their pipelines that cause pump over-heating or failure will find the advanced FlexSwitch FLT Pump Protection Flow Switch from FCI improves process control by adding an extra margin-of-safety.

Enhancing Municipal Water Storage With Submersible Mixers: A Case Study

Ice accumulation in water tanks poses serious challenges, compromising operations by trapping volumes of water and potentially costing tens of thousands of dollars in infrastructure damage. PAX Mixers are highly effective in preventing ice formation, even in extreme cold conditions. By optimizing water circulation, we can maintain consistent water temperatures within a tank.

Level Measurement Myth Busting In The Environmental Market

Explore some of the most common beliefs currently being sold about radar in the environmental market.

Fresh Water And Key Conditions For Life Appeared On Earth Half A Billion Years Earlier Than We Thought

The oldest life on Earth left in our fragmented rock record is 3.5 billion years old, with some chemical data showing it may even be as old as 3.8 billion years. Scientists have hypothesized life might be even older, but we have no records of that being the case. Our new study published in Nature Geoscience provides the first evidence of fresh water and dry land on Earth by 4 billion years ago.
