1. Evansville Uses Real-Time Decision Support System To Cut CSO Volume By 100 Million Gallons And Reduce Capital Needed For Regulatory Compliance 10/23/2020

   Evansville is located on the north bank of the Ohio River in southwest Indiana. The City’s sewer system, parts of which are more than 100 years old, serves a population of 163,000, with combined sewers making up almost 40 percent of the total sewer area.

2. Bardac® LF 18 — A Novel Cooling Water Algaecide 10/23/2020

   The active ingredient in Bardac® LF 18 is dioctyl dimethyl ammonium chloride. This product comes in two concentrations: -10WT (10% w/w) and -50WT (50% w/w). Several chemical properties of this product yield key benefits that set it apart from other industrial cooling water products. It is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat). Quats are typically low cost and highly effective biocides for a broad spectrum of organisms.

3. Calcium Hypochlorite Feeder Selected As Primary Solution For Municipal Water Treatment Plants 10/23/2020

   Long Beach Township is the largest town on Long Beach Island, New Jersey. With 18 miles of beaches, the town is a major tourist destination. Population exploded during the summer months from approximately 3,000 to over 100,000. This can be a challenge for the town's drinking water facilities, with demand increasing exponentially during the tourist season.

4. Byers Gains Stable Chlorination And Reduced Maintenance With Constant Chlor® MC5 System 10/23/2020

   Byers is an unincorporated rural community in Arapahoe County, Colorado, approximately 50 miles east of Denver. Byers Water & Sanitation District provides drinking water to this area. The district operates five wells – each approximately 700 feet deep. Two wells are typically used in the winter and four in the summer. Annual water use averages 140,000 gallons per day for the district’s 500 active service connections.

5. Biofouling Control In Cooling Towers With Halogen Stabilizer 10/22/2020

   Biofouling in cooling towers is undesirable because it can reduce heat transfer efficiency, restrict water flow, and accelerate corrosion rates. Of even greater concern is the fact that pathogen growth in cooling towers can lead to disease transmission. Given the favorable growth environment of a cooling tower, these microorganisms can reproduce, proliferate and form complex biofilm communities. Legionella bacteria, which cause Legionnaires’ disease, are one of the greatest concerns from a public health standpoint because infections are often lethal and cooling towers are the most frequently reported non-potable water source of Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks (Llewellyn 2017).

6. Breaking The Causative Chain Of Legionellosis 10/22/2020

   Legionnaires’ disease first garnered public attention in 1976. After attending an American Legion convention at a Philadelphia hotel, 221 people became ill, with 34 dying of a mysterious illness. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched a major investigation, and in 1977 identified the responsible bacterium, naming it Legionella.

7. Value of Wave Integration With PRVs 10/19/2020

   Distribution system water main breaks are a significant burden to communities and water systems not only due to disruption of water service to customers, but also due to significant economic burdens in the form of pipe replacement costs, excavation costs, and even insurance reimbursements. Read the full white paper to learn the KETOS Wave can be easily installed into existing PRVs to monitor the pressure and flow in the downstream side of the valve and proactively act in real-time as needed.

8. Utility Enhances Wireless Wastewater Monitoring With Trimble Telog Ru-35 Technology 10/19/2020

   Trimble Telog® technology helps Plainfield Area Regional Sewerage Authority (PARSA) become proactive to emerging problems.

9. 3 Methods For Decreasing Mine Site Closure Time 10/19/2020

   The current methods for processing water used in mining are slow, and require a hefty investment by mining companies. One Utah based company, however, has proven to speed-up the decades long process that is typical, into a brief period of rapid remediation. Testing and trials with some of the world’s largest processors have yielded a list of methods for processing pregnant solutions and mine site tailings, promising increased profits for mining companies and a speedy and efficient cleanup for residents, politicians and interested parties.
