  1. 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.

  2. 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.
  3. 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.

  4. Simple Turbidity Meter Saves Water Treatment Plant Time And Expense 7/15/2024

    The City of Dallas’ Water Treatment Plant in Oregon solved its maintenance issues and improved efficiency by replacing old analyzers with Blue-White APNTU Online Turbidity Analyzers, which are easy to clean, calibrate, and install.

  5. 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.
  6. AqueoUS Vets® Custom GAC Systems Offer Comprehensive Solution For PFAS And VOC Compound Removal For Golden State Water Company 12/21/2023

    Serving California for more than 90 years, Golden State Water Company (GSWC) provides water service to more than 1 million customers in over 80 communities, including the City of Norwalk.

  7. Aqueous Vets® Quick Response Keeps Critical Stoneridge Well In Service In Northern California 12/21/2023

    Zone 7 Water Agency is a water wholesaler in Northern California that serves more than a quarter million residents. Blending water from both surface and groundwater sources has enabled Zone 7 to address many emerging contaminant concerns over the past several years.

  8. Cottage Grove Municipal Treatment System Removes PFAS Compounds From Well Water Using Granular Activated Carbon 12/21/2023

    Located in the Twin Cities metro area, the city of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, needed to increase the capacity of its drinking water system. To meet demands for compliant water two additional wells were equipped with treatment systems designed to reduce PFAS. The city contracted consulting firm Stantec to provide engineering services for the design, during procurement, construction of the facilities and site infrastructure for the dual media granulated activated carbon (GAC) and/or Ion Exchange (IX) equipment systems.
