Decoding LCRI: Exploring How Technology Can Help With Compliance

The use of lead pipes was banned in the 1980s, yet over 9.2 million American households still connect to water through lead pipes and lead service lines. These decades-old lead pipes pose an ever-present risk to the health and wellbeing of Americans.

Monitoring Raw Water Turbidity – What’s Important!

Monitoring raw water turbidity is important to inform the operator of significant changes in water quality, especially turbidity, allowing the operator to make process chemistry changes to respond to the increasing raw water turbidity. Variations in raw water present turbidity measurement challenges different from those found elsewhere in a typical treatment plant.

How To Design A Solution For A Temporary Water Or Vapor Treatment Project

The key to a successful water treatment or vapor extraction project is to understand the elements that can impact the treatment process, as well dispelling key myths about temporary treatment systems.

When Everyday Becomes Special

Piping professionals must have a deep understanding of their systems and operation processes to prepare for those days when the unexpected occurs, and the surprise is not particularly pleasant. 

Increased Efficiency And Safety In Mine Water Management

Pumps play a critical role in all mining operations and are, therefore, among the most important equipment in a mine. In this article, Mikael Hjelm, globally responsible for business development in mine water management at Sulzer, explains why.

How To Optimize Flow Measurement For Process Efficiency

Busy municipal water engineers will find that the Water and Wastewater Treatment Guide from Fluid Components International explains how to optimize flow measurement in 20 different municipal applications.

PFAS: Constructing A Temporary Solution For A Forever Chemical

This article will discuss considerations for designing a temporary solution for removing per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water, including effective technologies and how to select a solutions provider.

User-Friendly Cartridge Technology Simplifies Water Treatment

Applied Cartridge Systems were designed to be a simple to operate potable water treatment solution – emerging from the well-known ISOLUX Arsenic removal systems.

Did You Know This About Granular Activated Carbon?

Did you know that just one gram of granular activated carbon (GAC) can have a surface area equivalent to several football fields?
