03.24.23 -- UN Reports On Problems With Bottled Water

Breaking the cycle of wasting labor and treatment chemicals on the 10, 20, or 30% of water that escapes and turning it into one of investing in systems to identify NRW losses can cost less in the long run, leaving more to spend on upgrading aging distribution infrastructure. Here’s how.

Everyone wants pathogen-free drinking water, and adding chlorine is a great way to get it. Unfortunately, the dirtier a water treatment plant (WTP)’s raw water inflow — in terms of natural organic matter (NOM) or microbial organisms — the more disinfection byproducts (DBPs) the chlorination process will generate in the form of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs).

Providing safe drinking water is a growing challenge. Certain chemical contaminants resistant to traditional water treatment methods are being detected in drinking water — with the potential to impact public health.

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.

In this segment of Virtual Water Expo, explore the development and implementation of several real-time decision support systems (RT-DSS) for utilities across the country.

It’s just past 10:00 on a Friday night, and the phones start ringing in the pockets of the on-call collection systems operators. It’s an alarm for another pump clog at one of your sewage lift stations — the second one this week.

In this interview with Water Online, Maury Gaston of American Ductile Iron Pipe and American SpiralWeld Pipe talks about the many benefits of iron pipe and the company’s improved polyethylene encasement, including how its revolutionary formulation allows for complete confidence on the part of the owner, engineer and municipality.

Lee Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF), located in Massachusetts, received an award for its excellent treatment performance in 2012 from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), four years after start-up.

Here are tips for solving the most common challenges with SewerGEMS.

While you may not know exactly when and where the next pipe will burst, planning for breaks is possible, and the effort expended on this is a direct benefit to optimizing replacement projects. 

Sanitaire has an array of new digital solutions that focus on asset management as well as energy/process optimization. In this presentation, we discuss these solutions in detail and outline how these products can improve CAPEX budgeting plans and improve preventative maintenance through diffuser health monitoring. 

Siemens offers to our customers the ability to make process measurements and to remotely monitor the activity and health of instrumentation, whether or not you have a SCADA, PLC, or DCS system. Siemens can offer unparalleled flow, level, pressure, temperature, and weight measurement as well as a broad range of process measurements and offer unequaled monitoring of the health and performance of those products.
