31. Getting Serious About Stormwater 6/15/2020

    Climate change promises to dump more rain across the U.S. in the coming years, leaving municipalities scrambling to address the issue. If left unchecked, the increase in stormwater runoff will cause more flooding and sewer system overflows, which wastewater utilities are increasingly under pressure by regulatory agencies to mitigate.

32. Researchers On Verge Of Solving Some Pesky Water Problems 5/15/2020

    The world faces a lingering, widespread health crisis as the flow of antibiotics into the environment gives rise to “superbug” diseases that don’t respond to medications. While scientists across the globe are busy studying the issue, South Korean researchers claim to have found a cost-effective method for removing antibiotics from water that also addresses plastic waste.

33. Leveraging Rentals For Pneumatic Conveying Applications 5/18/2020

    Pneumatic conveying applications are critical to many facilities – when you can’t move material you can’t make or sell your product. Because of a historical lack of availability of specialized rental blowers and compressors for pneumatic conveying, plants often ether accepted the production outage or rented a more readily available 2 stage oil-free rotary screw compressor designed for 90-150 PSIG plant air service that is very inefficient at the reduced pressures needed for pneumatic conveying.

34. Toilet Paper Shortages Fueling A Boom In Popularity Of Trouble-Making Wipes 4/15/2020

    The booming popularity of so-called “flushable” wipes in recent years has contributed to a rise in giant pipe-jamming globs known as fatbergs. These blockages pose a very real danger for wastewater systems, potentially causing sewage floods and breaking expensive equipment at treatment facilities.

35. How Wastewater Might Offer Clues To Combat The Coronavirus 3/19/2020

    While many scientists are racing to address testing, treatment, and vaccines for the new coronavirus, another segment of researchers is focused on what wastewater can predict about its spread.

36. Transforming Food And Beverage Waste Into Valuable Treatment Tools 2/15/2020

    Several pioneering efforts are showing promise to lessen the burden of restaurant and brewery waste on wastewater treatment. At North Carolina State University, researchers claim they have developed the most efficient means to date of converting sewage sludge and restaurant grease into methane.

37. Better Approach Needed To Overcome Potable Reuse Objections 1/15/2020

    Reuse is expected to be a key to long-term water security. But despite the necessity and the technological advancements that make it possible — as well as the fact that global water supplies are all part of the same cycle — a big hurdle remains. While recycled water is increasingly used for irrigating golf courses and refilling aquifers, widespread adoption as a drinking water source is reliant on overcoming lingering public perceptions.

38. Advanced Biology Holds Key To Improved Wastewater Cleanup 11/15/2019

    Scientists continue to delve into microscopic discoveries that could significantly shape the future of wastewater treatment.

39. Tapping Into The Hidden Value Of Stormwater 11/15/2019

    While municipalities are focused more than ever on addressing the problems created by stormwater runoff, several researchers are looking to harness it to fuel technology innovations with practical applications.

40. Blower Rentals Offer Tailored Solution To Temporary Needs 10/27/2019

    There are many reasons for a utility to rent a blower for wastewater aeration. Besides the obvious — an emergency — plant operators may need a rental to bridge the gap during upgrade projects, supply seasonal need to supplement air, or perform testing.
