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.

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.”

New STEPs Minimize Biosolids, Energy, And Installation Costs
10/18/2019
When low population density and troublesome topography make traditional gravity sewers cost-prohibitive, septic-tank effluent-pumping (STEP) technology offers an affordable alternative. In this Water Talk discussion, Mike Saunders, market segment leader for engineered systems at Orenco Systems, outlines how to match the right technology to the need. Orenco’s new decentralized liquid-only sewer systems treat septic effluent that is reduced by about 80 percent of its strength. Its smaller-diameter pressure mains run for 10 miles without supplemental pumps and install at just a fraction of the depth of traditional sewers. The approach minimizes biosolids, runs on little pumping power, and requires no blowers, so it minimizes energy requirements and keeps both installation and maintenance costs lower than those of conventional sewer systems.
