SPONSOR

Made in the U.S.A., the Vaughan Rotamix® System is today’s most cost-effective means of mechanical hydraulic mixing for sludge tanks, digesters and other high-volume applications. The Rotamix system incorporates several basic principles of physics and hydraulics, including uniform and vortical fields of flow, induced flow and surface contact. Combined together, this unique mixing system optimizes solids contact due to the homogeneous state. When you buy Vaughan, you get the best.

SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

How To Future-Proof Your Drinking Water Treatment Process

Ozone and biologically active filtration (O3-BAF) can act as an additional barrier for existing systems to protect against emerging contaminants and water quality events.

The Process Of Deionizing Water

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.

Why Free Chlorine Levels Matter, And The Simple Way To Accurately Measure

Learn how to ensure your water distribution system has enough free chlorine to battle dangerous pathogens, but not so much that it negatively impacts the taste and smell.

Protecting The Environment With Environmental Remediation

Environmental remediation involves the removal of pollutants to protect human health and restore ecosystems. Learn more about the various techniques used, and how to ensure these projects are handled professionally.

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

How Flow Technology Can Ease The Inflow And Infiltration Headache

This article will explain why rain-dependent inflow and infiltration (RDI&I) measurement often fails and how to produce the level of data quality that can detect, understand, and manage it.

AMI And Leak Detection Stops The Flow Of Non-Revenue Water

How are water utilities getting the deluge of real and apparent water losses under control? The City of Elmhurst, a stately suburb west of Chicago with a population of about 46,000 residents, is a case study on how one municipality took on the issue.

Using Digital Tools To Optimize Odor Control In Collection Systems

By utilizing digital tools, wastewater utilities can optimize their odor control program, which can reduce chemical usage, minimize compliance risks, and protect the community.

High-Capacity Washer Compactors Compress More Debris, Save More Money

Duperon’s new high-capacity washer compactor was designed to tackle the most difficult challenges while reducing overall operating costs.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Enhancing Wastewater Treatment With Efficient Blower Systems

Welcome to a world where innovation meets a tradition of superior quality — where KAESER delivers products and an experience that raises the bar for what you expect from blower solutions.

Evaluating Methodologies For Cooling Submersible Wastewater Pump Motors

Compare oil-filled and closed-loop cooling methodologies for submersible wastewater pump motors, emphasizing efficiency, heat transfer, maintenance, and longevity to determine the superior cooling solution.

Proven Energy Savings With New Mixer Technology

Read about new mixers installed for Anglian Water that have delivered over and above estimated energy savings and had minimal disruption to the plant. 

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

Not all dissolved air flotation (DAF) systems are created equal. Factors, such as the components that make up these systems, will influence how well they work and how long they last.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Addressing Water Treatment Challenges: Technology Access Limitations By Small, Rural Water Utilities

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. 

Remote Monitoring And Maintenance Through Digitalization

Siemens offers to our customers the ability to make both process measurements and to remotely monitor the activity and health of instrumentation, whether you have a SCADA, PLC, or DCS system or not.

Increasing The Likelihood Of Accessing Infrastructure Funding

Read how to access funding for drinking water infrastructure improvements and tailor your application to increase your odds of success.

Building Resilient Water Systems In The Face Of Climate Change

Water utility professionals are facing critical challenges due to the increasing variability of the water cycle, driven by climate change.
