FEATURED ARTICLES

Impact Of Real-Time NH3-N Monitoring In Wastewater Treatment Plants

In this white paper, learn how real-time monitoring of ammonia (NH₃) and nitrogen (N) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be a game-changer for optimizing treatment performance and energy efficiency.

Level Measurement In Water And Wastewater Lift Stations

Condensation, build up, obstructions and silt can cause difficulties in making reliable level measurements in lift station wet wells. New trends in low cost radar units solve these problems.

Ion Exchange Resin Versus Granular Activated Carbon For Drinking Water Treatment

A cost-effective option for PFAS removal and MCL compliance is the addition of an ion exchange resin (IEX) treatment as a “bolt-on” to an existing DWTP.

Water Loss Control For Small Water Systems – Part 1

Without leak detection equipment, or the ability to contract out this service due to budgetary constraints, many small utilities must rely on customer complaints or visible surface leaks to identify problems, which is far from an efficient approach.

Expert Insights On Advanced Metering Infrastructure Deployment

Dave Rubin, a Hubbell brand senior director for product management at ACLARA, shares insights on building business practice changes into AMI project plans, securing internal buy-in, and more.

BioLargo Takes PFAS Innovation To A New Level

Many factors go into picking the right PFAS treatment solution and there is no silver bullet, no “black box”.  And knowing what questions to ask for any particular system can vary state to state, depending on the influent water. 

10 Reasons You Should Switch From Mechanical To Solid-State Meters

Driven by cutting-edge sensor technology and data analytics, solid-state meters offer numerous benefits too compelling to ignore.

Clearing Up Misconceptions About Turbidimeter Performance And Calibration

There is little doubt about the importance of taking turbidity readings as part of drinking water treatment. However, there are certain misperceptions about the associated requirements and procedures needed to confirm the validity of those readings.

Pasteurized Equivalent Water Treatment At Tnuva Ba'Emek, Israel

In the heart of Israel’s Jezreel Valley, Ba’emek Advanced Technologies—part of the Tnuva Group—faced a critical challenge: how to sustainably reuse water extracted from whey during dairy processing without compromising safety or quality.

Electromagnetic Meters And Ultrasonic Meters — A Comparison

Water and wastewater professionals rely on accurate flow measurements for process operation and regulatory compliance. Selecting the best flow meter for each application is essential to obtaining accurate flow data.

Brochure: V-Cone Flow Meter

McCrometer’s V-Cone is an innovative flowmeter that takes differential pressure type flow measurement to another level. Designed for the harshest operating environments and for the widest variety of fluids, this advanced flowmeter consistently outperforms traditional DP devices and other major flow technologies.

Agriculture And Water Fact Sheet

Water is an integral part of the agricultural sector. Agriculture uses the majority share of global freshwater resources - a staggering total of 70%. According to UNESCO, as an enormous consumer of water, the agricultural sector has been condemned for their seeming lack of efficiency in water usage despite intersectoral competition for water and an increase in water scarcity.

Design Generator Platform Advantages

Design Generator (“DG”) is a web-based, online water facility design engineering platform that enables engineering professionals to rapidly generate preliminary engineering designs for CAS facilities as well as MBR, MBBR, and others.

SWAN CORNER

SWAN Corner: Scaling 3D Data Quality Alongside Green Recovery

Designed to accelerate post-pandemic resilience, boost environmental benefits, and improve customer service en masse, Severn Trent Water launched an infrastructure initiative in 2021: a £566 million Green Recovery program. The time was ripe for the UK’s first ‘smart water data region’. MGISS supported the project and its spatial data requirements, ensuring precision and long-term resilience.
