Four Important Reasons To Choose CO2 To Reduce Drinking Water pH

CO2 provides several advantages over liquid acids. In addition to being easier to use, it is also more environmentally friendly and can have long-term cost benefits.

Materials Can Impact Product Design Life And Produce Safer Drinking Water

Buna-N has been a widely used choice for elastomeric seats used in multiple types of valves, including butterfly, rubber-seated ball, and resilient-seated check and gate valves in North America.

Multi-Contaminant Removal With Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) In Drinking Water Filtration

Learn why the U.S. EPA has recognized granular activated carbon (GAC) as a best available technology (BAT) for a wide range of substances within the same system.

Measuring pH And Its Role In Corrosion Control

Corrosion control has always been a priority for distributing safe drinking water throughout the world's networks of pipelines. And beyond the significant health risks it poses, corrosion causes a number of other headaches for water systems.

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

Maintaining And Improving Jersey City Water Infrastructure

Upgrade aging municipal networks without service interruptions. By integrating strategic isolation points on live lines, utilities can replace failing assets and ensure system reliability while maintaining full pressure and fire protection for growing communities.

Achieving Level Pressure At Challenging Points In Distribution Systems

When drinking water leaves a treatment plant through giant pipes, with the help of huge pumps, the pressure can exceed 200 psi. The high pressure is a necessity because water must travel a long distance in some cases. Water towers scattered throughout the distribution system aid in the process so it can reach all utility customers. The problem is that not all distribution points in a water system are created equal.

11 Ways To Advance Traditional Water Distribution Modeling And Management

Explore how Bentley's OpenFlows WaterGEMS can make your job easier.

Henry County Water Authority Ensures Water Distribution Keeps Up With Increasing Demand From A Growing Population

To address the growing population and projected water demand over the next 30 years, the Henry County Water Authority recently completed a master plan update that includes two booster pump stations — the Fairview booster pump station and the Southeastern booster pump station.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Wastewater Process Engineers Are Scary Smart

This transcript of a recorded conversation between process engineer Nikolett Szilagyi and Adam Tank, Chief Customer Officer at Transcend, involves making sense of a term called fractionation — an important part of designing biological wastewater treatment plants.

Spotlight On Reclaimed Water Regulations: California

Technological advancements play a crucial role in shaping reclaimed water regulations as new methods for treating and reusing wastewater emerge.

Smart New Approaches To Wastewater Screen Design

Depending on the age and design of wastewater infrastructure, it is easy for screening performance at the headworks of wastewater treatment plants to get caught between a rock and a hard place. With so many challenges, what can be done to reduce the high risks of performance inefficiency, costly maintenance, or outright equipment failure? Fortunately, next-generation bar screen designs are poised to address these issues.

How Ozone Treatment Tackles Pharmaceutical Residues In Wastewater

In this article, we explore how ozone technology helps reduce pharmaceutical residues in wastewater, ensuring safer water for both the environment and communities.

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Turning Water Utility Data Into Action: The Power Of Modern Meter Data Management

Smart meters, sensors, and operational systems generate a constant stream of information about water flow, pressure, consumption, and system performance. But data alone doesn't solve problems — it's the ability to understand and act on this information that drives real operational improvements.

Practical Tips For Improving Sewer Data Management

Learn why data security, accessibility, and quality are all crucial to successfully managing wastewater infrastructure and sustaining data hygiene.

Centralized Data Management And Compliance Reporting

120Water allows all your tools to work together to efficiently manage your data and simplify your workflows. Everything you need to execute a comprehensive compliance program — sampling, data management, reporting — all lives in one easy-to-use platform purpose built for water professionals.

Protecting Power Station Performance With Gap-Free Conductivity Monitoring Data

For some instruments, downtime is necessary while service operations are undertaken. Swan Analytical Instruments has developed technology for power and industrial water/steam monitoring systems to enable uninterrupted operation.
