Drinking Water Treatment Resources

1. A Game-Changing Approach To Salinity And Total Organic Carbon Treatment 9/6/2024

   With applications for drinking water, wastewater, and reuse, XBAT — ion exchange-based advanced treatment — could have revolutionary, far-reaching impacts for utilities.

2. Are We Setting Ourselves Up For Failure With PFAS? 9/5/2024

   Utilities need to revisit mistakes of the past and ask tough questions about what it truly means to treat and remove PFAS.

3. Chlorine Dioxide And Chlorite: A Comprehensive Guide To Effective Water Disinfection And Testing 9/3/2024

   Discover how Chlorine Dioxide's superior disinfection power, combined with advanced testing systems like Kemio, ensures safer, more efficient water quality management across various applications.

4. 6 Considerations When Preparing For Carbon Media Replacement 8/29/2024

   This guide can help operators ensure seamless granular activated carbon (GAC) media changeouts, minimizing downtime and maintaining high water quality standards.

5. How To Future-Proof Your Drinking Water Treatment Process 8/21/2024

   Ozone and biologically active filtration (O3-BAF) can act as an additional barrier for existing systems to protect against emerging contaminants and water quality events.

6. Understanding Urban Resilience And The Role Of Smart Water Networks 8/20/2024

   As cities grow and face environmental challenges, the concept of urban resilience becomes increasingly important. A recent study discusses the theoretical framework needed to build a smart water network that can enhance the resiliency of urban environments. It also reveals the critical technologies, including advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), that are key to pulling it all together.

7. 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.

8. The Role Of Big Data In Water Resource Management: Predicting And Preventing Crises 7/30/2024
   The widespread adoption of Big Data has the potential to revolutionize water resource management, expanding the possibilities of water-related work and altering the development of water systems to improve sustainability in both agriculture and metropolitan areas.
9. 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.

10. Advantages Of Using Ozone And Biologically Active Filtration For Potable Reuse 7/12/2024

    Understanding how ozonation and biologically active filtration (O3-BAF) systems work and their benefits in reuse can help water authorities meet cost, treatment, and sustainability goals.
