Drinking Water Application Notes

1. Biofouling Control In Cooling Towers With A Halogen Stabilizer 10/22/2020

   Biofouling in cooling towers is undesirable because it can reduce heat transfer efficiency, restrict water flow, and accelerate corrosion rates. Of even greater concern is the fact that pathogen growth in cooling towers can lead to disease transmission. Given the favorable growth environment of a cooling tower, these microorganisms can reproduce, proliferate and form complex biofilm communities. Legionella bacteria, which cause Legionnaires’ disease, are one of the greatest concerns from a public health standpoint because infections are often lethal and cooling towers are the most frequently reported non-potable water source of Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks (Llewellyn 2017).

2. Application Note: YSI Water Quality Monitoring Buoys Help Connecticut DOT Protect The Housatonic River 12/27/2005
   When replacement of the Sikorski Bridge spanning the Housatonic River was authorized, Paul Corrente and the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CT-DOT) set about the design and development of a water quality monitoring program to monitor the contractor’s in-water activities to insure full protection of the river from perturbation
3. Background And Summary Of Tests For The 2000PV Restraint 4/13/2021

   The 2000PV is a restraint for PVC pipe and the standardized mechanical joint. This product is the result of years of testing and evaluation and its performance has been proven by thousands of hours of proof tests, as well as third-party evaluations. This report describes the 2000PV through the 12" size.

4. UV Technology Offers Solution For Emerging Water Crisis 2/19/2014

   Many are turning to UV as an effective barrier to enable the reuse of wastewater, for indirect reuse, and aquifer recharge.

5. Reducing And Reusing Water In Steel Manufacturing 2/28/2022

   The art of manufacturing steel for industries is well over 100 years old. Within this time, the steel business has fulfilled consumer needs, including construction, transportation, and manufacturing. The steel manufacturing process is quite intensive as it requires a lot of water to cool down the application. Steel plants constantly look for strategies that can help sustain the steel for a longer time by efficiently improving water and energy consumption.

6. Application Note: Turbidity Monitoring In Drinking Water Treatment Plants 8/30/2005

   Turbidity, or the relative clarity of a liquid (in this case drinking water), is caused by the presence of microscopic particles such as clay, silt, or other fine undissolved matter

7. Ultrasonic Level Measurement In Water And Wastewater Plants 5/19/2016

   Radar technology is often viewed as the “best” method of level measurement, but this isn’t necessarily true in the water industry.

8. Ultrapure Water For Determination of Toxic Elements In Environmental Analyses 4/10/2018

   In this paper the importance of reagent water quality for toxic element environmental analyses is discussed, and the suitability of fresh ultrapure water produced using MilliporeSigma water purification systems for ICP-OES and ICP-MS trace element analyses in environmental laboratories is demonstrated.

9. Pile Cloth Media Filtration Removes 97% Of Microplastics From Wastewater 12/6/2023

   Learn about filtering microplastics from industrial wastewater prior to discharge, and how this is one way to effectively reduce the volume of this waste material from entering our surface water.

10. TOC Monitoring In Process Return Condensate 4/23/2021

    Industrial power plants or co-generation power plants utilize steam for industrial purposes other than power production.
