Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

1. What's Missing From Your Water-Monitoring Strategy? 10/6/2020

   When it comes to water quality monitoring, professionals in municipal, industrial, and agricultural applications might have distinctly different concerns about what they measure, but they all share a common concern about the cost and ease of obtaining that data. Fortunately, a new alternative for achieving water quality data and analytics with a high degree of autonomy, accuracy, and affordability is now available to all of them.

2. High-Frequency Water Quality Monitoring To Ensure Compliance 3/19/2021

   A leading American supplier of carbon and alloy steel bar, rod, and wire faced a number of issues including effluent discharge containing heavy metals. They had a need for frequent testing to ensure compliance. Sampling and testing was time consuming, expensive, and very labor intensive. 

3. Ensuring Water And Wastewater Resiliency During The Pandemic 5/25/2021

   According to the American Water Works Association (AWWA), with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic impacting communities throughout the world, water professionals are working around the clock to ensure that safe, reliable water service continues to flow. But what if many of these essential employees now must work from home or only minimal crews are on-site at the plants?

4. How To Conduct A Pilot Test For Iron & Manganese Removal From Groundwater Using Manganese Dioxide Filter Media 1/12/2018

   There are various treatment processes that are used to remove iron and manganese from ground water for potable water supplies.  While there are various less common treatment methods used (such as ion exchange and ultra-filtration), most treatment systems for iron oxidize the ferrous state of iron to a ferric state so the solid particles can then be filtered out.   

5. AMI Data = Insights For Water Utilities 10/20/2023

   Discover how analytics can amplify the benefits of AMI in identifying non-revenue water losses and enhancing customer service. 

6. Why Municipalities Can't Afford To Do What They've Always Done, Choose Closed Vessel UV 1/9/2017

   Ultraviolet disinfection is now a standard feature in most wastewater treatment systems. UV has also been embraced by the drinking water community as an effective barrier against chlorine tolerant organisms such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. The technology is widely favored in wastewater treatment due to its non-chemical nature, the fact that no subsequent dechlorination process is required and its ability to be unselective in disinfection performance.

7. Case Study: High Turbidity & Silt Density Index 7/14/2010

   The refinery was using a competitive treatment program to clarify the river water for use in the cooling towers as make-up and for reverse osmosis units that supplied high pressure boiler water make-up.

8. AMR System Delivers Outstanding Efficiency While Improving Water Conservation In Pacific Northwest 2/12/2014

   Public Utility District No. 1 of Skagit County (Skagit PUD) in Washington state was at a crossroads, facing a number of challenges related to its meter reading system. Because the utility was using a touch-read/visual-read system, it was highly dependent on its water meter readers’ acquired route knowledge. Two of the PUD’s three meter readers were planning to retire soon, and it would take at least a year to hire and train new employees to fill their experienced shoes. At the same time, the community was growing at a steady pace, and a significant number of its existing meters were reaching the end of their useful lifecycle.

9. UV Treatment System Fills The Bill For Water Reuse 2/13/2020

   Small city selects full-featured and low maintenance UV treatment for its water reuse system that easily complies with demanding California Title 22 Regulations.

10. Case Study: Chemplast Chooses Aquatech's HERO™ & ZLD 7/3/2009
    The Chemplast Mettur plant uses the Cauvery River as their main fresh water source. A strong industrial growth in recent years has resulted in water scarcity in the region. Industries are also required to follow strict environmental norms for discharging effluents. The intent of a Waste Water Treatment Plant was to have complete treatment, recycle and reuse of the combined waste water streams to reduce intake from the Cauvery River while not discharging any liquid waste streams.
