Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. Case Study: Saudi Arabian Airport Successfully Uses Aquatech’s Seawater Reverse Osmosis System 7/23/2010
    India’s first Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) at Mundra in Coastal Gujarat, a 4,000 MW coal fired plant, is owned by Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL), a Tata Power group company.
  2. 4-Log Virus Inactivation - Abington, Pennsylvania (Case Study) 6/2/2014

    The Hall Road Well Station — located in Abington, Pennsylvania — is designed to extract and treat 1.5 million gallons per day (MGD) of water from the Piedmont and Blue Ridge crystalline-rock aquifers. It is part of a network of groundwater extraction wells owned and operated by Aqua-America Pennsylvania (Aqua PA). Aqua PA determined that UV technology was the best approach for meeting the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection regulations for 4-log virus treatment of groundwater. This case study will show you why they chose the TrojanUVSwift™SC.

  3. The History Of Water Infrastructure And What We Can Learn From It 9/16/2016

    This article is in support of the Imagine a Day Without Water campaign –- a national online movement to raise awareness about the value of water and water infrastructure. See more articles on AMERICAN’s Imagine a Day Without Water home page.

  4. Miramar Reaps The Benefits Of Leak Detection 3/29/2018

    In 2014, the City of Miramar was rapidly approaching their permitted source water limits, and eliminating water loss became a primary objective.

  5. How Attacking Non-Revenue Water Boosts Revenue While Reinforcing Sustainability 9/7/2020

    A growing water scarcity problem and increasing water loss regulations are putting more pressure than ever on municipal water utilities to be good stewards of water resources. The problem is that the main factor impeding sustainability — non-revenue water, or NRW — is often approached haphazardly at best. For utilities lacking a comprehensive NRW strategy, it is not too late to get on the right track.

  6. Utilizing A Phosphate Analyzer To Monitor And Control Chemical Feed Reduces Operating Costs And Improves Reliability 2/6/2014

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), which provides for the enhancement of the safety of public drinking water supplies through the establishment and enforcement of nationwide drinking water regulations. Congress gave the primary responsibility for establishing regulations to the U. S. EPA.   Until 1990, the EPA administered a certification process for chemicals, including phosphates, to be used for potable water treatment. By Randy C. Turner, Technical Director, Swan Analytical USA

  7. Two Phase Flow Considerations For Coriolis Meters 7/8/2014

    Two phase flow is notoriously problematic for most flow technologies. Read how ABB is tackling the 2-phase flow problem through an entire meter-design approach, which entails a state of the art electronics platform and innovative sensor technology. 

  8. Underdrain Designs: Why The Internal Cone Is The Most Economical Choice 11/8/2023

    A poor underdrain design can cause filtration inefficiencies and inconsistencies, including uneven pressure drops and dead zones where water flows slowly or not at all.

  9. EPA Researching The Impacts Of Freshwater Salinization Syndrome 11/29/2022

    Freshwater contains natural salts and minerals. However, dramatic increases in salt concentrations are occurring in freshwaters globally due to human activities including road salt application, water softening, mining and oil production, commercial and industrial processes, weathering of concrete, sea level rise, and fertilizer application.  EPA scientists are studying the effects of increasing salinity on environmental health and water quality.

  10. Decontamination In Days: How Calgon Carbon Cleaned Pearl Harbor 8/11/2023

    A first-hand account of how Calgon Carbon Corp. executed a last-minute clean jet fuel contaminated water around the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickman.
