SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

How To Pull A Representative Activated Carbon Sample (And Why It Matters)

Analyzing a GAC sample reveals if the media should be reactivated or disposed of. Therefore, it is critical that operators follow this definitive guide for pulling a representative sample.

Addressing Fouling Challenges In Desalination With Prefiltration

Prefiltration is the first line of defense against fouling and is a critical part of the overall desalination process. These systems remove solids that can compromise delicate RO membranes.

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. 

The Vital Role Of Chemical Feed Pumps In Aquatics

Although there is more than one method of sanitizing water in aquatics facilities, chemical treatment is still a preferred choice for keeping water in commercial swimming pools, water parks, and water features clean and safe.

Discover how Aerzen’s new hybrid blowers are shaping the future of energy-efficient wastewater treatment while tackling the challenges of regulatory compliance.

Poultry Panic: Urgent Wastewater Fix Saves Poultry Plant From Fines

On a late Friday afternoon in June, a call came in to USP Technologies (USP): a major poultry processing plant in the southeast was in danger of violating their wastewater discharge permit.

Wastewater Bioaugmentation To Combat The Cold Weather

By proactively addressing the impacts of cold weather with bioaugmentation, WWTPs can ensure optimal performance and environmental sustainability.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Are You Ready For The New Water Reuse Regulations?

Understand how California’s Title 22 regulations define the multi-barrier approach to potable reuse, and what that means for water treatment plants throughout the U.S.

Smart Infrastructure Solutions: The Antidote To AMI Tunnel Vision

For 20 years, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has been viewed primarily as a cost-efficient meter-reading resource. More recently, however, utility operations increasingly rely upon AMI capabilities to cope with broader issues ranging from water scarcity to aging infrastructure. Here’s how an expanded view of AMI can benefit water utilities in both the short and long term.

Understanding Random vs. Representative Verification Sets For Predictive Modeling

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. 

Connecting The Water Cycle: Bridging The Physical-Digital Gap

There are many reasons why an AMI system might fail, but more often than not it boils down to gaps in the physical-to-digital transition.
