Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. How Biogrowth Can Aid In Disinfection Byproduct Removal 11/3/2022

    Learn how naturally occurring biological growth on carbon media can help enhance removal of total organic carbon (TOC) and thusly reduce the formation of DBPs.

  2. Case Study: Newport News Uses Emerson Ozone Instrumentation For Safe, Effective Disinfection 5/22/2006

    Maintaining the quality of the water supply is the top priority for municipal drinking water treatment plants across the country. Water plants use several treatment processes to ensure water quality and safety, and these treatment steps include disinfection. Traditionally, chlorine is used in both primary and secondary disinfection treatments and has been used since 1908. Some water plants are moving to ozone for primary disinfection. One water utility that is taking this direction is Newport News Waterworks. 

  3. Utility Enjoys More Than Seven Years of On‐Site Sodium Hypochlorite Production 7/16/2018

    “To me, Microclor® is the top of the line on‐site generation system on the market due to low maintenance and it being very user friendly.” Larry English, Water Quality Manager, Daphne Utilities. Read the full project profile to learn more.

  4. Indiana American Water Eliminates Gaseous Chlorine At Hidden Lake WTP In Warsaw, Indiana 7/20/2018

    In 2000, Indiana American Water, a subsidiary of American Water Company, purchased the Warsaw Indiana system which serves a population of over 16,000. Indiana American then completed a Comprehensive Planning Study that included a number of upgrades and improvements to enhance the reliability, safety and water quality of the system.

  5. Multifamily Complexes: The Rise Of Smart Water Management 10/21/2024

    Residential communities, whether they house dozens or hundreds of families, increasingly view themselves as miniature towns with unique needs and challenges. One area where this perspective is particularly evident is in water network management.

Read about how one community expanded their “excellent production of potable water” with the new ClorTec® DN OSHG System.

  7. Why Smart Meters Without Turbidity Monitoring Will Soon Be Obsolete: A Call To Action For The Water Industry 9/17/2024

    Turbidity monitoring is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of modern water quality management, crucial for detecting contaminants and ensuring safe drinking water. 

  8. Statistically Validating No Lead Or Low Lead For Service Line Inventory Compliance 7/30/2024

    Each state’s guidance on the use of statistical analysis (and predictive modeling) varies. Explore the specifics about your state’s guidance to use statistical analysis for no-lead validation and material classification.

  9. The Challenge Of Flow Disturbances On Meter Accuracy 7/10/2018

    Accurately measuring flow is critical for water utility operations. Also, regulatory agencies mandate flow monitoring and require annual calibration of meters. But even a meter in perfect condition and properly calibrated can read inaccurately. Flow disturbances are a common cause of accuracy and repeatability errors.

  10. Six Top Factors To Consider When Selecting A Flow Meter 7/13/2018

    Water utilities rely on accurate and dependable flow measurement for critical process controls. Regulatory agencies also require flow monitoring and reporting, with specific accuracy limits.
