Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. Working Under Pressure: Making Reliable Repairs Without Going Off-Line 6/6/2019

    Ever since the introduction of centralized water treatment and distribution systems, leaks have been the bane of their existence. Finding a way to make reliable repairs rapidly and without having to disrupt service goes a long way toward satisfying customer and utility concerns. Here are some strategies and tips for making the right choices easier, quicker, and less expensive, even in the midst of an emergency.

  2. EPA Proposed Revisions To The Lead & Copper Rule 12/16/2019

    On October 10th, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced the long-awaited proposed revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule (LCRR) which was promulgated nearly 30 years ago under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

  3. How pH Standards Impact The Accuracy Of Water Quality Measurements 3/4/2020

    When it comes to pH measurement in water and wastewater treatment, there are two focal points for the word ‘standard’ — one is a compliance-related state or federal water quality specification; the other is a specific fluid used as a calibration reference point to ensure pH instrumentation accuracy. Here is why both are important and how they affect the best pH measurement outcomes in both areas.

  4. Removing Iron, Arsenic, And Manganese To Meet California Regulations 10/9/2018

    A pilot study was conducted in Sacramento to provide manufacturers an opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of water treatment products that employ oxidation and filtration to remove iron, manganese, and arsenic to levels.

  5. New Membrane Technology Handles High Solids, Aids Water Reuse 2/18/2015

    As global conditions place more stress on water resources, a great deal of attention is being paid to water reuse technologies, particularly those that facilitate the reuse of the next level of difficult-to-treat or highly variable raw water sources.

  6. Use Of UV Technology Gaining Acceptance Within Process Industries 3/18/2014

    The use of Ultra Violet (UV) technology within process industries has grown tremendously in recent years. Water, fruit juice, syrup and brines are increasingly seen as the largest volume ingredient in many food products, and the need to protect human health, whilst reduce the level of chemical preservatives, and to extend shelf life leads to the incorporation of UV systems within the food manufacturing process.

  7. Chlorine Dioxide And Chlorite: A Comprehensive Guide To Effective Water Disinfection And Testing 9/3/2024

    Discover how Chlorine Dioxide's superior disinfection power, combined with advanced testing systems like Kemio, ensures safer, more efficient water quality management across various applications.

  8. What You Need To Know About Mixed Oxidant Solution 8/28/2019

    The main component of mixed oxidant solution (MOS) is chlorine and its derivatives hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid (ClO−, HClO). It also contains trace amounts of other chlor-oxygen species which work synergistically with the hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid to improve efficacy and performance. MOS is made from brine (salt) and energy, and is used for disinfecting, sanitizing and reducing the risk of infection due to pathogenic microorganisms in water and in other applications. It is particularly useful for customers who have specific challenges such as controlling biofilm or reducing disinfection byproducts exacerbated by biofilms.

  9. The Importance Of pH Measurement During Industrial Treatment 9/18/2018

    Nearly every industry requires water and wastewater treatment to some degree. From food and beverage to pulp and paper operations, influent and effluent must meet certain conditions to adhere to regulatory and/or performance requirements, and water used during the process must conform as well.

  10. Portable Parallel Analysis: Streamlining Distribution System Water Testing 3/6/2015

    A Water Quality Specialist used the Hach SL1000 Parallel Portable Analyzer (PPA) to test 6 parameters simultaneously – all within about 8 minutes.  Previously, the procedure took 20 minutes just for one parameter.
