SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Integrated Treatment System For Drinking Water

Amiad designed and supplied an integrated water filtration system for Dominica Island which combines three main stages of filtration and treatment, solving a problem: lack of quality drinking water.

Sustainability And Safety Considerations For PFAS Removal

PFAS removal cartridges offer several health, safety, and sustainability advantages over bulk media systems.

Why Ultrasonic Flow Metering Is Gaining Popularity Over Mechanical In Clean Water Applications

Mechanical flow meters have always been a dependable option for drinking water treatment and distribution. However, the adoption of ultrasonic devices for these applications is growing steadily as water managers realize that advancements make them a better choice in many cases.

4 Tips For A Successful PFAS Removal Pilot Study

Follow these key steps to conduct a successful pilot study to help remain below their target contaminant limits and cost-effectively comply with regulations.

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

Lift Station Upgraded After Rainstorm Causes Flood And Electrical Short

Read the full case study to learn how the installation of the three Flygt horizontally mounted dry pit, flood-proof NZ-3171 submersible clog-free pumps immediately offered a 25% boost in efficiency at a lift station in Manitoba, Canada, after a motor had shorted out due to excessive moisture and could not be replaced.

How To Cost-Effectively Increase Pumping Station Capacity

Early detection of leaks can preserve pumping station capacity. Full-profile insertion (FPI) mag meters can be installed near valves and bends, making them ideal for pumping stations.

Wipe Out Pump Clogs With The Duperon Dual Auger System

The Dual Auger System protects pumps and downstream equipment by extracting flushable wipes and other problematic material from raw sewage without grinding.

The Evolution Of Collector Monitoring Systems

The vast majority of chain and flight collectors in operation throughout the world do not have any form of monitoring system installed to protect against operational failure. Traditional safety devices consist of a shear pin sprocket device, with a limit switch, designed to protect the drive system if a load or torque exceeds the working load of the drive chain.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

What You Need To Know About Mixed Oxidant Solution

The main component of mixed oxidant solution (MOS) is chlorine and its derivatives hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid (ClO−, HClO). It also contains trace amounts of other chlor-oxygen species which work synergistically with the hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid to improve efficacy and performance. 

Accurate Sludge Conditioning For Good Dewatering Results

Where should I put the sludge? There is a consensus among wastewater plant operators and other industry groups that the subject of sludge will take on more importance in the future. The reasons for this are the increasingly strict controls on discharge methods and the obvious cost burden of every cubic meter of sludge.

Overcoming Obstacles To Increase Wastewater Capacity

It’s a scenario that is becoming more common at food and beverage facilities. The introduction of a new product to market, or a boom in sales of an existing product, prompts management to increase production capacity. While there is plenty of space for production equipment, the corresponding need for additional wastewater treatment capacity may not be readily accommodated.

UV Disinfection And Dechlorination At Cottonseed Processing Facility In Texas

In this case study, learn how a cottonseed processing facility in Texas successfully prevented biofouling in their RO membrane filtration system by installing the HOD UV technology from Atlantium.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Maximizing Your ROI On Test Equipment

In today’s economic climate, it’s tempting to want to buy the cheapest test equipment you can now. But how can you tell what the true cost of test equipment is? You have to consider how widely your water and chemical consumption will vary as the readings on your instrumentation does.

How Advanced Pressure Monitoring Bolsters Risk Mitigation And Asset Management

Properly executing pressure management can attack pipeline failures on two fronts: by avoiding high pressures that exacerbate the problem and by providing the operational awareness needed for managing the most vulnerable spots. The insight provided by newer solutions helps accomplish this by going beyond advanced metering infrastructure as part of the building blocks for a smart utility network.

Cellular Technology For Advanced Metering And The Internet of Things: The Time Is Now

Advancements in cellular-based advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) make it a viable way to provide reliability and cost-effectiveness in practical solutions for water utilities and municipalities.

Flow Data Red Flags: When To Act

Accurate flow measurement is critical to most water and wastewater processes. Red flags may pop up to indicate meter problems, but which ones should lead you to act — and when? The answer depends on the type of meter, what it is used for, and whether the readings are local or remote.
