  4. The Microbes Have Us Outnumbered 20 To 1: Should We Be Worried? 7/12/2018

    A lot has changed over the past 15 years. Back in the early 2000s, many utilities weren’t interested in understanding what was in their water beyond the contaminant and disinfection byproduct levels they were regulated to comply with. But as Pat Whalen, President and CEO of LuminUltra, explains in this ACE 2018 Water Talk interview, a steady stream of ongoing education and the modern data storage and analytics that cloud computing provides, has developed some rabid fans eager to explore the microbiology of their water systems.

  7. Drumming Up Chemical Injection 10/24/2017

    The operating ranges for chemical injection need to be large because of the variability of flow in many treatment operations. As Bill McDowell, Vice President of Operations with Blue White Industries explains in this Water Talk interview, “You might be down to as low as 5 or 10 milliliters a minute and then one hour later; you might need to pump 15 gallons a minute out of the same pump and through the same sensor.”

  8. PAA And UV Pair Up To Improve Disinfection Performance 10/26/2016

    Peracetic acid (PAA)-based disinfection is growing in the US, both as a standalone disinfection method and in conjunction with other applications such as UV. Water Online Radio sat down with John Maziuk, Technical Development Manager with Solvay Chemicals to understand why.

  9. Real-Time Data Solutions To Identify A Stubborn Disinfection Byproduct Threat 7/8/2019

    When it comes to trihalomethanes, the disinfection byproducts also known as THMs, a range of methods are available for their removal from water as well as avoiding their creation altogether. While sophisticated, those solutions offer little or no insight into the process. In this Water Talk interview, Rick Bacon, CEO of Aqua Metrology Systems, and Cliff Tormaschy, CEO of Medora Corp., discuss the use of real-time data to identify THM threats and diagnose critical treatment system performance.

  10. Will Peracetic Acid Replace Chlorine? 10/20/2015
