Drinking Water Application Notes

  1. VFD Energy Savings For Pumping Applications 4/6/2017

    In the early days of variable frequency drive (VFD) technology, the typical application was in process control for manufacturing synthetic fiber, steel bars, and aluminum foil.

  2. Waterworks Joints 101 10/30/2025

    There are many different joints that can be found on waterworks pipeline components. This paper focuses on the three most common joints.

  3. Recording & Control: In Coagulant Dosage Applications For Potable Water Treatment 7/1/2019

    Potable water or drinking water as it is also known, is water that is safe to drink or to be used in food preparation. Typically, in developed countries, tap water meets the required drinking water standards, although only a small proportion is actually drank or used in food preparation.

  4. LC-MS/MS Analysis Of PFAS Extractables In Polyethersulfone Syringe Filters Using EPA 537.1 5/18/2022

    A key consideration for any PFAS method is to avoid contamination that can impact the accuracy of data, including those coming from sample preparation techniques such as filtration.

  5. PFAS-Selective Single-Use Ion Exchange Resin For Drinking Water Systems 8/10/2026

    Achieving reliable drinking water decontamination using selective single-use ion exchange media requires careful hydraulic management, targeted prefiltration, and proper lead-lag vessel engineering to protect media integrity, prevent premature breakthrough, and maintain consistent effluent quality.

  6. Free Chlorine Measurement In Drinking Water Treatment 12/21/2005

    Before water can be used as a safe and reliable source for drinking water, it must be properly treated. Since water is a universal solvent, it comes in contact with several different pathogens, some of which are potentially lethal, and inactivation is accomplished through chemical disinfection and mechanical filtration treatment. This treatment consists of coarse filtration to remove large objects and pre-treatment which includes disinfection using chlorine or ozone

  7. UV Advanced Oxidation For Potable Reuse 5/22/2026

    Faced with rising water scarcity, advanced facilities are utilizing UV advanced oxidation to destroy persistent chemical micropollutants and achieve stringent pathogen disinfection in a single step, ensuring a highly pure, reliable potable water supply.

  8. Solution For Algae Blooms 12/17/2015

    Harmsco® Filtration Products is pleased to offer a solution to the ever increasing blue-algae blooms in water sources. A multi-barrier approach is necessary to physically remove intact (algae and cyanobacteria) before they rupture in the treatment process and then remove extracellular cyanobacteria through adsorption.

  9. Application Note: Desalination Plants: YSI Instruments Monitor Flow & Water Quality At Multiple Stages 2/3/2011
    Desalination is the process of removing salt from sea water or brackish river or groundwater to make potable water. By YSI
  10. Flow Monitoring At Sea Water Reverse Osmosis Plant Improves Water Distribution 1/6/2025

    Read about a desalination plant that was in need of a practical verification methodology for permanent and/or temporary (portable) solutions on large pipes.
