Drinking Water Treatment Resources

  1. PWSA Reduces Customer Request Fulfillment From 4 Months To 14 Days 12/19/2019

    Due to recent LCR exceedances, PWSA faced skyrocketing customer requests on top of the order to replace 7% of their roughly 18,000-33,000 lead service lines every year. In addition, their Lead and Copper Compliance (LCR) and Lead Service Line Replacement testing program (LSLR) required immense amounts of manpower. These two events combined to require thousands of point-of-use kits to be collected and tested every year. They looked to 120WA to solve the challenges of siloed data sources, kit delivery and pickup, lab coordination, and distribution of results.

  2. The Elected Official's Guide To Understanding The US Lead Effect 12/16/2019

    “The water crisis in Flint is the Cuyahoga River fire of our generation: an event that thrust a widespread but underappreciated problem into the national consciousness.”

  3. Lead Sampling Program Structures 12/16/2019

    We reviewed lead sampling efforts around the country and provide a simple overview to assist as states create or expand lead testing programs for schools and childcare facilities.

  4. How Is Zeolite Water Treatment Media Used In Water And Wastewater Treatment? 12/13/2019

    Technology is constantly evolving and changing to meet the needs of humanity, and one of those needs is for clean water. The water treatment industry is always researching, testing, and developing new and improved ways in which to treat wastewater and drinking water in ways that are both efficient and environmentally friendly. Zeolite water filtration media is a sustainable, natural treatment solution for drinking water, grey water, and wastewater treatment.

  5. Improve Your Plant Efficiency With Accurate Water And Wastewater Monitoring 12/10/2019

    A West Coast wastewater management facility provides design, management, and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system for an entire county, including the conveyance system and treatment system. The wastewater treatment plant has been established for over 50 years and has the capacity to treat 41 million gallons of sanitary sewage per day (mgd).value chain. Siemens suggested that the customer try the Siemens HydroRanger 200 controller. The HydroRanger 200 uses proven, continuous, ultrasonic echo ranging technology to monitor water and wastewater of any consistency up to 15 m (50 ft) in depth.

  6. High-Flux Membrane Filtration For Oil And Water Separation 12/6/2019

    Environmental regulations and water scarcity have created a need for economical water treatments that increase reuse. This paper will review the new PPG membrane that has a unique composite single-layer microstructure that provides high-flux, excellent separation capabilities and exceptional durability to improve the filtration and recovery of industrial wastewater.

  7. High-Flux Polymeric Membrane For Industrial Water Separation 12/6/2019

    Water is essential to numerous industries such as chemical manufacturing, automotive production, oil and gas refinery and power generation, yet the increasing scarcity of this precious resource makes its recovery from these activities more critical than ever.

  8. Novel Oxidant Lowers Natural Organic Matter Without Creating Disinfection Byproducts 12/5/2019

    With twice the oxidation potential as that of chlorine, this mineral oxychloride solution can easily break down carbon bonds and simultaneously lowers organic carbon, meets microbial reduction goals, and complies with the regulatory limits on disinfection byproducts. Disinfection by chlorine can be problematic, as chlorine can react with naturally occurring organic compounds resulting in byproducts that have never existed in nature.

  9. The Drive Towards Digital Transformation 11/25/2019

    It seems that everywhere that you go in the water industry at the current time, somebody is talking about digital transformation…or if we go back five minutes, it was Water 4.0…and 10 minutes ago (it seems), it was “smart water.” These are all very well used buzzwords that the industry is destined to think about for a short-term and then promptly forget about. In reality, though, we as an industry have been hit by a number of different concepts for a number of different technological aspects for a good number of years now. For almost as long we have had a term for all of this — “widgets.”

  10. Pros And Cons Of Different Types Of Ultrafiltration Technology Configurations 11/15/2019

    Ultrafiltration systems can be engineered and designed in several possible combinations based on the application and source water quality. There are different membrane materials, membrane shapes, flow types, and configurations.
