Contaminant Removal Resources

  1. Developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) For Chlorination In Water Treatment 10/10/2024

    Chlorination is one of the most widely used methods of disinfection in drinking water treatment. Proper chlorination ensures the safety and quality of drinking water. To enhance the consistency and safety of chlorination practices, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends water treatment plants (WTPs) develop comprehensive standard operating procedures (SOPs).

  2. Why Smart Meters Without Turbidity Monitoring Will Soon Be Obsolete: A Call To Action For The Water Industry 9/17/2024

    Turbidity monitoring is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of modern water quality management, crucial for detecting contaminants and ensuring safe drinking water. 

  3. Innovative Technologies For Water Conservation And Management 9/17/2024
    One of the globe's major problems is the lack of water, but due to the growing demand for water in the fields of agriculture and industry, as well as a population shift to cities, efficient water use is made more urgent. The good news is that there are newly implemented technologies that deal with the issue of water conservation and management.
  4. The Benefits Of Pretreatment Prior To Bulk Media Filtration Of PFAS 9/12/2024
    Advantages include enhanced media bed life, reduced waste, minimized downtime, and improved overall system performance.
  5. How Not To Get Oversold On Your PFAS Solution 9/12/2024

    Asking the right questions and properly vetting vendors are key to avoiding an over-engineered PFAS treatment package.

  6. The Risks Of Rushing A PFAS Solution (And How To Avoid Them) 9/12/2024

    Renting a temporary PFAS treatment package gives water treatment plants time to evaluate longer-term options while still meeting the current regulations.

  7. Are We Setting Ourselves Up For Failure With PFAS? 9/5/2024

    Utilities need to revisit mistakes of the past and ask tough questions about what it truly means to treat and remove PFAS.

  8. 6 Considerations When Preparing For Carbon Media Replacement 8/29/2024

    This guide can help operators ensure seamless granular activated carbon (GAC) media changeouts, minimizing downtime and maintaining high water quality standards.

  9. How To Future-Proof Your Drinking Water Treatment Process 8/21/2024

    Ozone and biologically active filtration (O3-BAF) can act as an additional barrier for existing systems to protect against emerging contaminants and water quality events.

  10. Rapid Small-Scale Column Tests For PFAS Treatment Evaluation 8/8/2024

    While pilot columns provide the most accurate estimations for predicting full-scale PFAS treatment performance by GAC or IX resin, they can be costly and time-consuming. Rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs) offer significant advantages over pilot columns, including less time, lower costs, less media, smaller sample volume, and faster data turnaround.
