   Learn how transitioning to peristaltic metering technology solved chronic priming and maintenance issues during arsenic removal. This overview highlights how specialized pump designs improve chemical dosing reliability, enhance operator safety, and maximize facility space.

2. Brine Valorization — The Future Of Desalination 5/7/2026
   Brine valorization plants are the next step in the evolution of desalination technology which opens a new horizon for wider use of desalination as a baseline source of drought-proof and environmentally and fiscally sustainable water supply.
3. Filtration Media For Municipal, Industrial, And Landscape Water Treatment: Legacy And Novel Technologies 3/13/2026

   The growing demand for water across a variety of sectors combined with the increasingly understood complexity of emerging contaminants is creating a dynamic marketplace for filtration media. The goal of selecting the right filtration media is not to meet minimum standards but to achieve the right balance of performance, durability, and operational simplicity to ensure long-term compliance and cost-effective operation.

4. Rural Water Treatment Plant Reduces TTHMs And HAA5 With Ion Exchange 4/17/2025

   Both rural and urban water systems experience dissolved organic carbon (DOC) — a precursor to halogenated organic compounds like total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAA5) — in source water. However, rural systems often struggle to find treatment options suited for smaller scale operations and budgets.

5. New Research Could Extend Membrane Life And Lower Desalination Costs 3/6/2025
   As water-scarce regions clamor for answers, developments in membrane anti-scaling bring desalination closer to viability.
6. Silica Fouling In Reverse Osmosis Systems: Prevention And Treatment 1/29/2025
   The control of silica fouling in reverse osmosis systems is crucial for maintaining system performance efficiency and longevity. It prevents costly downtime and membrane damage. This article provides practical knowledge on silica scaling in RO systems, its challenges, and effective control strategies.
7. PVDF Ban: The Vitally Needed Catalyst For Accelerating Ceramic Membrane Adoption 11/4/2024

   As Europe edges closer to regulating the production of PVDF membranes — key contributors to the toxic PFAS, 'forever chemicals' — the water industry finds itself at a critical crossroads.

8. The Benefits Of Pretreatment Prior To Bulk Media Filtration Of PFAS 9/12/2024
   Advantages include enhanced media bed life, reduced waste, minimized downtime, and improved overall system performance.
9. Rapid Small-Scale Column Tests For PFAS Treatment Evaluation 8/8/2024

   While pilot columns provide the most accurate estimations for predicting full-scale PFAS treatment performance by GAC or IX resin, they can be costly and time-consuming. Rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs) offer significant advantages over pilot columns, including less time, lower costs, less media, smaller sample volume, and faster data turnaround.

10. PFAS Technology Options Provide Water Treatment Solutions 4/24/2024
    Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) continue to dominate the conversation as an emerging contaminant of concern due to their potential for adverse human health effects and continued regulation. This group of chemicals can be found in a wide variety of consumer products and drinking water.
