Drinking Water Treatment Case Studies and White Papers

  1. Reverse Osmosis Gets Smarter: New Technologies Target Energy Use And Membrane Fouling 8/18/2026

    Nearly 45–60% of a reverse osmosis (RO) plant's operating cost is linked to energy consumption, while membrane fouling can reduce productivity by 15–40% and increase cleaning costs by thousands of dollars annually. The newest generation of RO systems is therefore focused on reducing energy demand, extending membrane life, and using intelligent monitoring to predict fouling before performance declines.

  2. How To Check Colorimetric Accuracy And Troubleshoot Unexpected Results 8/17/2026

    Achieve defensible testing results by mastering analytical controls. Learn how strategic blank corrections, scheduled primary and secondary standard verifications, and systematic troubleshooting eliminate measurement errors and simplify regulatory compliance across everyday laboratory operations.

  3. When Water Test Results Don't Add Up 8/17/2026

    Undetected interferences in water analysis lead to reporting errors and costly compliance failures. Learn how to identify sample matrix disruptions using spike-and-recovery testing and apply practical lab techniques to ensure accurate, compliant data.

  4. PFAS-Selective Single-Use Ion Exchange Resin: Environmental Discharge And Remediation 8/10/2026

    Effective PFAS remediation demands precise prefiltration, controlled hydraulics, and optimized vessel configurations to prevent media fouling and premature contaminant breakthrough. Read the guide to implement best practices for maximum treatment efficiency.

  5. PFAS-Selective Single-Use Ion Exchange Resin For Drinking Water Systems 8/10/2026

    Achieving reliable drinking water decontamination using selective single-use ion exchange media requires careful hydraulic management, targeted prefiltration, and proper lead-lag vessel engineering to protect media integrity, prevent premature breakthrough, and maintain consistent effluent quality.

  6. Revolutionizing Water Filtration: Inside Harmsco's Industrial And Municipal Solutions 8/5/2026

    In this episode of The Water Online Show, host Angela Godwin sits down with Harmsco’s German Gutierrez and Cyndi Benson to explore how a company that began selling pool cartridges has evolved into a global filtration leader.

  7. From Two Data Points To A Living Map: Proactive Distribution Management 7/27/2026

    Relying on sparse monitoring points forces utilities to infer water quality across broad networks. Continuous, multi-point data collection delivers real-time visibility, allowing operators to detect trends early, optimize maintenance, and transition to proactive distribution management.

  8. Legionella And The Buildings You Don't Control: Monitoring Hot-Water And Premise Sections 7/27/2026

    Premise plumbing and hot-water systems are vulnerable to rapid residual decay and biological growth. Continuous, flow-independent monitoring delivers minute-by-minute tracking in stagnant, high-risk zones, helping operators verify disinfection and maintain safety before issues arise.

  9. 2,080 Hours: What Five Sensors Gave Back To One Utility 7/24/2026

    Routine sensor maintenance silently drains utility workforce capacity through constant recalibration, reagent refills, and travel time. Transitioning to low-maintenance monitoring technology reclaims thousands of operator hours, allowing short-handed crews to focus on vital system infrastructure priorities.

  10. Data Centers Are Coming For Your Water. Your Meters And Analyzers Are Your Defense. 7/24/2026

    Rapid industrial expansion and data center growth strain municipal water supplies. Eliminating continuous analyzer sample waste and targeting line flushing recovers treated water, strengthening local supply security and demonstrating responsible resource management.
