44. Warm Weather Water Treatment: Optimizing Coagulation With Standby Advanced Oxidation 5/12/2020

    Seasonal variations and peak events can impact the water quality in ways difficult to anticipate, requiring tools and monitoring methods to optimize drinking water treatment at a moment’s notice.

45. COVID-19 Requires Management Of Building Water Systems Now 4/21/2020

    Controlling the spread of COVID-19 requires the collective effort of physical distancing. While this is imperative to save lives from the novel disease, many hotels, resorts, offices, and other buildings are now partially or entirely shut down. As a result, the water systems in these buildings are experiencing low to no flow, loss of disinfectant residual, tepid water temperatures, and other hazardous conditions that can increase Legionella amplification, which can cause Legionnaires disease.

46. Common UV Lamps For Chemical-Free Disinfection 4/2/2020

    When it comes to water and wastewater treatment systems, operational and performance variation will come from different components, including what treatment processes are deployed, whether chemicals are utilized, or how much power the treatment processes require. With many treatment systems, there is much consideration given to a particular central component akin to the heart and soul of the process. In the case of a UV system, the ultraviolet (UV) lamps are this component.
