Peracetic acid (PAA) is begging to supplement or replace chlorine in some water and wastewater treatment applications, particularly where disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are a challenge.

Because many locations dealing with groundwater contamination generally have multiple micropollutants to remove, consulting engineers and water treatment plant managers are often put in a position to seek additional or alternative treatment approaches other than activated carbon or reverse osmosis.

Are “ghost forests” a sign of things to come? Rising sea levels and superstorm tidal surges are already impacting coastal areas, with rising salinity levels affecting some drinking water sources. Coastal water utilities are not the only ones that have to worry about salinity, however, as high concentrations of winter storm road treatments, gas drilling, and mining can also generate elevated salinity levels in surface water sources.

Mueller was hired by an energy performance firm to survey a federal government water distribution network in Ontario to determine if leakage was contributing to unnecessary energy consumption.

When start-up fails, check these four common culprits before you check anything else.

Although by no means overwhelming, clogging problems in a county prison wastewater treatment system had simply become a nuisance, and it was time to take action with new technology to solve the problem. Read the full case study to learn more.

Read about an extensive study that was carried out to evaluate the ability of the HOD UV system to control biofouling in the Governador José Richa Power Plant. 

In this white paper, discover how digital measurement is helping to maximize wastewater treatment efficiency. 

The use of wastewater treatment lagoons, or stabilization ponds, is a common practice for rural municipalities and industrial facilities. Through the years, there have been numerous designs for these ‘sludge settling basins,’ ranging from facultative, partial-aerated, and fully aerated systems.

Modern infrastructure management requires moving from reactive repairs to data-driven capital planning. By quantifying risk and predictive failure patterns, utilities can justify essential funding and maximize the impact of every dollar spent on system-wide resilience.

Advanced side stream filtration protects sensitive cooling infrastructure in data centers, extending membrane life, reducing water and energy use, and preventing costly downtime caused by particulate-loaded cooling water.

In this article, we’ll break down myths vs. reality around data centers and water. We’ll clarify what “water usage” really means in this context, the types of cooling systems (from evaporative cooling towers to closed-loop recycled water systems), how much water is actually consumed vs. returned, and whether data center water use truly deprives communities of drinking water.
