NWG's MDM Promotes Sustainability

Northumbrian Water Group (NWG) serves over 4.5 million customers across Northumberland, Essex, and Suffolk County in the UK, prioritizing both customer satisfaction and environmental stewardship. To enhance its water management capabilities, NWG has partnered with Siemens to implement an advanced meter data management (MDM) solution.

Ensuring Healthy Aquaculture: The Role Of Water Quality Monitoring

Real-time monitoring with fluorometers and turbidity sensors ensures optimal water quality in aquaculture, enhancing fish health, preventing disease, and promoting sustainable seafood production.

The Savings Are Blowin' In At Port Washington Wastewater Treatment Plant

The municipal wastewater treatment plant in Port Washington, Wisconsin, is located on the picturesque shore of Lake Michigan, so it’s essential that their plant performs as designed.

Strategic Valve Insertion Prevents Widespread Shutdown At Military Facility

Learn how a military installation used an Insta-Valve insertion valve to repair a water leak, minimizing disruption and costs. Hydra-Stop's support was valued in maintaining military readiness.

The Tip Of The Fatberg: How FOG Affects Our Sewer System

Fats, oils, and grease, commonly referred to as FOG, are one of the most prevalent contributors to sanitary sewer blockages and overflows. In this article, we will explore the impact of FOG and what can be done to control it.

Does Grinding Create Microplastics?

Some industry professionals have concluded eliminating the use of grinders will prevent microplastics from entering the water cycle. This thinking is wrong for a range of reasons.

Unlocking Seized Valves

In the realm of water supply and wastewater management, the smooth operation of critical valves is essential for maintaining network efficiency and reliability. However, the challenge of seized water and wastewater valves often leads to disruptions, increased maintenance costs, and compromised service quality. 

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.

High-Flux Membrane Filtration For Oil And Water Separation

Environmental regulations and water scarcity have created a need for economical water treatments that increase reuse. This paper will review the new PPG membrane that has a unique composite single-layer microstructure that provides high-flux, excellent separation capabilities, and exceptional durability to improve the filtration and recovery of industrial wastewater.

Mueller Embraces Sustainable Path Forward With Silicon-Based Brass

Many new options have become available for lead-free waterworks products over the last two decades, but all options for C800 products contain bismuth — a material that presents concerns.
