SPONSOR

From a Depression-era startup to a trusted name in power and water control, Harold Beck and Sons has built its reputation on reliability and innovation. At WEFTEC 2025, the company unveiled its latest breakthrough — a multi-turn electric actuator designed specifically for the demands of modern water and wastewater systems.

SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

PFOS Solution Data Summary

PFOS/PFOA are a group of man-made chemicals that persist in the environment. These chemicals have been used for decades in fire-retardant foams and other firefighting sprays. 

Why A Temporary Water Treatment System Might Be Your Best Investment

It is critical to understand the limitations of permanent installations and how a temporary water treatment system can make sound logistical and financial sense.

Warren Water Recovery Facility Drives Efficiency With Innovative Sampler System

Read about the solution that was able to provide the Warren Water Recovery Facility with accurate composite sampling, reduced manpower with easy cleaning and maintenance, and predictive maintenance that reduced time in fixing process errors. 

RO Protection At Trimble County Power Station

Read about how the installation of Hydro-Optic Disinfection (HOD) UV technology has been a viable non-chemical means for biological control and membrane protection for Trimble County.

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

Understanding Sustained Efficiency In Non-Clog Pumps

This white paper will provide a review of pump efficiency and the benefit of self-cleaning hydraulics in wastewater pumping. 

Your Pumps Are Bleeding Money: How Real-Time Data And Generative Design Can Save You Thousands

Transcend uncovers a costly truth: your municipal lift station might be bleeding hundreds of dollars an hour in energy costs — without you knowing it.

Retrofitting: Is It Right For Your Sewage Lift Station?

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.

A Space-Saving Approach To Lift Station Flow Accuracy

Part of the challenge in wastewater metering accuracy has as much to do with the flow profile of wastewater running through the meter as it does with the composition of the wastewater itself. Here is how installing a simple static device in the tight confines of a lift/pump station can alleviate the twists and swirls of pipeline turbulence in as little space as three pipe diameters.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Options For Retrofitting Existing Sand Filters With Pile Cloth Media

While effective, sand filters can be prohibitively expensive to maintain. For this and other reasons, many WWTPs are retrofitting existing sand filters with pile cloth media filtration (PCMF).

Unlocking The Potential Of Jet Aeration Technology: A Journey Through History

Learn about the early history, development, and modern-day applications of jet aerators, highlighting their significance in wastewater treatment

Advancing Meat Wastewater Treatment

To help you select the best wastewater treatment strategy for your meat processing application, this white paper provides a helpful overview of some of the challenges you will encounter including biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and nitrogen and phosphorus removal.

Eliminating Sludge Islands In Your Wastewater Lagoon

Old municipal and industrial wastewater lagoons have the tendency to build islands of sludge at various locations around the lagoon. It is most common for older lagoons to build such islands wherever wastewater enters the lagoons.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

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.

Avoiding Unplanned Outages In Water Treatment

Maintenance professionals within water and wastewater treatment facilities are as busy as ever. To keep up with growing demands on their time, they are always looking for ways to improve the reliability and maintenance requirements within their scope of responsibility.

Managing Multiple Water Systems? It Doesn't Have To Be A Guessing Game.

Managing multiple water systems can be complex and challenging. That’s why 120Water created the 1-to-many digital solution, PWS Insights, to give those managing multiple systems one place to view all of their data and quickly take action.

DC Water's Digital Twin Solution

Explore how operational and financial resilience can be improved by implementing a water infrastructure digital twin.
