Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

91. EPA Creates Database To Find Thermal Treatment Processes For Remediating PFAS 6/8/2022

    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been in use since the 1940s. PFAS are found in a wide array of consumer and industrial products. Due to their widespread use and persistence in the environment, most people in the United States have been exposed to PFAS. There is evidence that continued exposure above specific levels to certain PFAS may lead to adverse health effects.

92. Keys To A Successful AMI Rollout 3/16/2020

    With its ability to improve customer service, reduce costs and boost visibility into water distribution systems, AMI has rapidly become a worthwhile investment. The ability to capture and analyze vast amounts of actionable data is at the core of AMI.

93. The Hidden Dangers Of Manganese In Drinking Water 5/21/2018

    Evidence indicates that manganese (Mn) is more than a nuisance: it's a threat to health. It's time to get serious about removing it from drinking water.

94. Oxidation And AOP: The Last Lines Of Defense Against Harmful Algal Blooms 3/4/2019

    Secondary metabolites of algae — including algal toxins and taste and odor compounds triggered by a harmful algal bloom — can find their way into source water, creating the risk that they will ultimately reach the water treatment plant to cause water-quality problems. Here is a checklist of considerations for mitigating those effects through cost-effective oxidation, or combined oxidization processes, across a variety of source water conditions.

95. Shifting Paradigms: How Proactive Strategies Are Revolutionizing Pipeline Management 9/4/2024

    Proactive pipeline maintenance helps utilities address limited resources and aging infrastructure while maximizing return on investment, improving service quality, and building stronger support from customers and stakeholders.

96. How To Future-Proof Your Water Distribution System 5/17/2023

    How can water utilities address the needs of climate change today while future-proofing the system to make upgrades easier and more cost effective?

97. What Is Sustainable Flocculation And What Are Sustainable Flocculants? 1/14/2022

    In most standard drinking water and wastewater treatment systems, there is a flocculation process that is used to reduce the concentrations of solids within the effluent stream. This particular process makes use of substances that aid in the clumping together of suspended particles among other contaminants in a clarifier system.

98. Proprietary Reactivation Study Demonstrates PFAS Removal And Destruction Expertise 10/15/2025

    Thermal reactivation of granular activated carbon is a proven and scalable method to achieve >99.9% destruction removal efficiency for PFAS. This process fully restores the carbon for reuse, providing a sustainable solution that breaks the cycle of "forever chemicals."

99. Smarter Control For Seasonal Demand: How Aquana Smart Valves Help Utilities Manage Frequent Water Shutoffs 1/5/2026

    Managing water service in high-turnover communities requires balancing operational costs with infrastructure protection. Remote control technology enables utilities to mitigate the risks of frequent shutoffs, reduce labor-intensive field visits, and detect leaks in vacant properties.

100. World's Largest 1,4-Dioxane Treatment Initiative 9/9/2024

     Groundwater on Long Island, New York, contains the contaminant 1,4-dioxane. Despite no federal regulation, local water providers and state authorities have taken action to address contamination, establishing a state-enforced maximum contaminant level.
