How ESG Goals Can Help Drive Resilient Water Asset Management
4/16/2021
Did you know that WATER ranks as one of North America’s top three ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) concerns, according to the 2019 RBC Global Asset Management Responsible Investment Survey? This is not surprising, but it is very significant because it underlines how water assets today are at risk and that current management practices today simply are not sustainable. The existing infrastructure that is supposed to keep water available, safe and drinkable is quietly, sometimes loudly, crumbling in cities and communities around the globe. It is imperative that we start reassessing the way we think about resilience in water management and change our ways. With the pandemic and the rise of ESG as part of decision-making, now is the time to capitalize on innovation, to maximize the return on infrastructure renewal programs and at the same time accelerate our economic recovery.

Mega-Stop Bell Protection System Aids In Pipe Joint Assembly
4/13/2021
Water and wastewater piping come in a variety of materials, joints, and diameters. They can meet a multitude of demands and needs for the country's infrastructure. Each of these piping choices offer an array of benefits, but none are perfect for every application. In the US, PVC as a piping material has seen significant growth in use in the last 35 years -- accounting for two-thirds by weight of plastic pipe, and almost half of all installed pipe lengths in 2004.

What Are You Doing To My Pipe: Can PVC Pipe Be Loaded?
4/13/2021
When the subject of using the 2000PV series to restrain PVC pipe is broached with some people, the conditioned response is “I can’t use that; it point loads the pipe.” This has been used as a sales tactic by our competition for many years. The argument has been used that PVC pipe is delicate and can’t be subjected to any kind of loading. In our years of testing we have found that is not the case at all. PVC can take an extreme amount of strain.
EBAA Iron utilizes individually actuated gripping wedges to assure even and uniform holding of the PVC pipe. Before we introduced the wedge action PVC restraint, conventional thought was that full circumference grip was the only way to hold PVC. Until we learned differently, we thought that, too.

CFD: ‘Paint By Numbers’ Insight Into Fluid Mixing Performance
4/8/2021
Twenty years ago, some people viewed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as more of a sales tool than an engineering tool. Since then, it has proven its validity and its value as a tool for analyzing wastewater aeration and process mixing performance. Here are some insights on the technology, its specific use in wastewater basins, and inside tips on how to apply it to greatest advantage across a variety of processes.

Biolac Long Sludge Age Treatment Combined With MRI Plate Settlers Achieves Low Nutrient Limits
4/8/2021
The Tri-Lakes Wastewater Treatment Facility located in Monument, CO, receives flow from the Woodmoor, Palmer Lake, and Monument Sanitation Districts. The plant discharges treated effluent to Monument Creek, which is within the Fountain Creek Water Shed. Originally, the Tri-Lakes facility consisted of a three-cell lagoon. This was replaced by a two-basin Biolac Wave-Ox system, which was installed in 1990 and later upgraded in 1998 to a three-basin system with a capacity of 4.2 MGD.
