41. Minimizing System Footprint Without Compromising Oxidation Performance 9/25/2025

    Footprint minimization in oxidation systems relies on highly efficient inline injection and modular, stackable components. This approach achieves full performance with significant space savings, reducing construction and installation costs.

42. Ozone And PFAS: The Overlooked Tool In A National Water Crisis 9/25/2025

    Ozone is a vital pre-treatment for PFAS mitigation. It oxidizes precursors and co-contaminants, significantly extending the service life of downstream GAC and membrane systems.

43. Nanobubble Ozone Technology – Advancing Mass Transfer Through Physics 9/25/2025

    Nanobubble physics enable higher ozone stability and mass transfer efficiency in water. Discover how the negative surface charge of these microstructures improves localized oxidation and penetration into difficult matrices.

44. The Hidden Cost: Uncovering The Truth About Non-Revenue Water 9/25/2025

    Non-revenue water drains utility budgets, resources, and public trust. Audits, ultrasonic metering with acoustic leak detection, and community engagement provide practical, cost-effective steps to curb losses and improve efficiency.

45. De-Risking Chemical Contamination In Non-Potable Reuse Water Applications 9/24/2025

    Discover how German scientists piloted edible crop irrigation with reuse water at a German water reclamation facility to create a comprehensive chemical risk assessment framework, progressing reuse’s feasibility in Europe.

46. Extracting Water From Air: A Historical And Military Perspective 9/23/2025

    In the early 2000s, I was consulting for a military contractor on expanding their mobile water treatment system for military applications. As part of that work, I researched other water supply technologies used by the U.S. military, including atmospheric water generation (AWG) — the process of extracting potable water directly from the air.

47. Solving The World's Microplastics Problem: 4 Solutions Cities And States Are Trying After Global Treaty Talks Collapsed 9/23/2025

    Microplastics seem to be everywhere — in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. Countries have tried for the past few years to write a global plastics treaty that might reduce human exposure, but the latest negotiations collapsed in August 2025. While U.S. and global solutions seem far off, policies to limit harm from microplastics are gaining traction at the state and local levels.

48. Digital Solutions For City Water Challenges: A New Blueprint For Sustainable Cities 9/22/2025
    Cities are grappling with a combination of threats that make urban water management a defining challenge of the 21st century. In this context, digital transformation is emerging as a critical enabler, reimagining how urban water systems confront these realities and prepare for the uncertainties ahead.
49. Ozone Vs. UV-AOP: Choosing The Right Path For Advanced Water Treatment 9/22/2025

    Ozone and UV-AOP each offer powerful contaminant removal for drinking water, wastewater, and reuse applications. Their unique strengths—and potential synergy—help utilities meet diverse treatment goals efficiently.
