Drinking Water Features

  1. Scaling Water Reuse: New State Regulatory Guides And What They Mean For Treatment Design 3/11/2026

    Emerging state water reuse regulations are driving adoption of ozone and advanced oxidation, requiring flexible, high-performance systems to meet pathogen, trace organic, and DBP control objectives.

  2. EPA's Proposed Perchlorate Regulation: What It Means For Treatment Engineers And Oxidation Strategies 3/11/2026

    EPA’s proposed perchlorate regulation challenges utilities to integrate advanced oxidation and separation technologies, enabling reliable removal, regulatory compliance, and flexible treatment for emerging contaminants.

  3. Ozone Contactors: The Engineering Variable That Determines Oxidation Success 3/11/2026

    Ozone system performance hinges on reactor design, not generator size. Efficient mass transfer, hydraulic integrity, and contact time ensure consistent oxidation, reduced energy use, and reliable treatment results.

  4. Engineering Beyond Obsolescence: Designing Ozone Systems That Evolve With Time 3/11/2026

    Pinnacle’s QuadBlock ozone system allows water treatment plants to modernize ozone generation modules without replacing cabinets, extending system life, boosting efficiency, and integrating modern controls seamlessly.

  5. Ozone Formulas And Conversions 3/9/2026

    Learn key ozone formulas, unit conversions, and measurement standards to accurately calculate generator output, concentration, and dosage for effective system design, performance verification, and safe operation.

  6. Persian Gulf Desalination Plants Could Become Military Targets In Regional War 3/6/2026
    Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf region use the fossil fuels under their desert lands not only to make money, but also to make drinking water. The petroleum they produce powers more than 400 desalination plants, which turn seawater into drinkable water.
  7. From Compliance To Circularity: Rethinking Chromium Management In Chrome Tanning 3/5/2026
    In an industrial landscape increasingly shaped by lifecycle accountability, material traceability, and rising disposal costs, chromium recovery is not merely a technical alternative — it is a strategic upgrade, where wastewater can become a resource stream.
  8. Extreme Weather Is Transforming The World's Rivers. We Need New Ways To Protect Them 2/25/2026
    Around the world, rivers are no longer changing gradually. Rather, they are being increasingly transformed by extreme climatic events such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves. A newly published global review finds these events are pushing ecosystems beyond their limits and eroding biodiversity and core functions.
  9. EPA Seeks Court‑Ordered Removal Of 4 PFAS Limits 2/23/2026
    The U.S. EPA is testing a new procedural strategy to remove four PFAS drinking‑water limits from ongoing litigation, asking the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to invalidate those limits on the grounds that the EPA itself committed a procedural misstep when issuing the 2024 PFAS rule.
  10. Study Reveals A Comprehensive Guide To IoT Integration For Non-Revenue Water Management 2/18/2026
    A recent study argues that the traditional, manual approach to drinking-water distribution-network monitoring and leak prevention is no longer sustainable. Instead, utilities must embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) to transition from reactive repairs to proactive asset management.
