06.16.25 -- Teaming Up With Bacteria To Clean Up Water

This processing plant faced operational challenges due to ceramic dust from the manufacturing process passing through their clarifier, even with flocculent addition.

This guide delves into the history, widespread applications, and evolving strategies to understand and mitigate the impacts of PFAS on health and ecosystems.

Because many locations dealing with groundwater contamination generally have multiple micropollutants to remove, consulting engineers and water treatment plant managers are often put in a position to seek additional or alternative treatment approaches other than activated carbon or reverse osmosis.

Wastewater treatment plants provide a viable option to accept and process the collected septage. However, the sheer concentration of the transported sludge can potentially cause plant upsets in smaller WWTP facilities.

The Vassar wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Michigan, confronted persistent challenges from non-dissolvable solids by adopted Duperon's Dual Auger System (DAS) to address these issues effectively.

Have you ever installed a valve, only to have issues later because it was the wrong valve for the job? There are many options and several conditions that need to be considered when purchasing the right valve for the right application.

This project provides an unusual "before-and-after" comparison of how a high-solids loaded digester system with a Rotamix mixing system performed before and after the Foambuster was installed.

The Rahway Valley Sewerage Authority (RVSA), which operates a large wastewater treatment plant in New Jersey, embarked on a green co-generation waste-to-energy project to power a portion of its operations. The plant’s management team became interested in pursuing the gas-to-energy power co-generation system for both environmental and cost reasons.

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

At Horizon Apartments in Lexington, SC, property owner Rick Tangri faced a challenge common among property owners: he billed his tenants a flat rate for water, but his property water bills continued to rise. Unsure of where the high water bills were stemming from, Mr. Tangri decided to explore smart water meter options as a way to save water and money.

Finding lead service lines efficiently saves time and money. Read more about how predictive modeling can help you to make more reliable and unbiased estimates. 

Smaller water utilities may be concerned that they have neither the capital nor the expertise/manpower to use effective PFAS removal technologies. But small utilities can remain hopeful because there are existing technologies that can remove PFAS and that are simple and cost effective to operate.
