1. Fish Hatchery Chooses UV Disinfection (Case Study) 5/22/2020

   Located on the Klamath River in Hornbrook, California, Iron Gate Hatchery is a salmon and steelhead hatchery that releases fish back to the Klamath River. Due to the presence of the fungus Saprolegnia sp and primarily bacteria Flavobacterium psychrophila and Metallogenium sp), hatchery yield was thwarted due to disease.

2. Salmon Hatchery Upgrades Its UV Disinfection System (Case Study) 5/22/2020

   While the facility was receiving awards and accolades for their aquaculture production, they were having challenges keeping their former UV system operating consistently and reliably. Spare parts were expensive and they often experienced periods of down-time, negatively affecting operations.

3. Pandemics, Disasters, And Droughts: Why Transparency Is Key During Times Of Uncertainty 5/19/2020

   Water and wastewater utilities are vital to our ability to have clean drinking water and mitigate waterborne diseases. However, operating efficiently while providing safe, quality services and staying compliant is no small feat. Add in a disaster, such as a fire, a drought, or an unforeseen global pandemic like COVID-19, and utilities must adapt to ever-changing conditions while maintaining the trust of the customers they serve. Maintaining that trust and customer goodwill is critical during times of crisis, and the only way to do so is through transparency

4. Installation Of Insta-Valve 250 Ensures 128-Bed Hospital Remains Operational 5/18/2020

   The Insta-Valve 250 provided targeted shutdown to allow proactive maintenance while ensuring a nearby hospital remained fully operational.

5. Leveraging Rental 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.

6. Mobile Home Park Installs Modular MBR System To Save Valuable Space 5/18/2020

   Bay Meadows is a year-round RV and mobile home park located along the shores of Lake Ontario. The facility had been reliant on subsurface treatment, however current regulatory requirements eliminated the option of continuing with that approach. In addition to high bedrock, the lack of available area due to design flow values meant a more sophisticated sewage treatment solution would be necessary.

7. A More Measured World Of Water 5/14/2020

   Measurement is critical to the water industry. Whether it’s improving efficiency levels, investing in infrastructure or funding innovation – one thing is certain, accuracy matters and the sums have to add up.

8. In-Line Ultrasonic Meters Provide Continuous Measurement For Sample Stations 5/14/2020

   Boilers, cooling towers, and reverse osmosis (RO) systems are some of the most common systems that require monitoring and chemical treatment.  Chemical treatment of boiler systems reduces scale, corrosion, and other mineral deposits. This enables the system to run more efficiently, keep heat transfer rates high and fuel costs down. To determine the proper amount of chemical to be injected into the water stream, samples of key parameters need to be taken. Instrumentation to measure ORP, pH, conductivity, temperature, pressure and flow are deployed to take these measurements.

9. Ultrasonic And Radar Level Technologies: Bringing Clarity To The Water And Wastewater Market 5/7/2020

   If your head spins after reading how amazing one level measurement technology is in comparison to another, understanding the key attributes of these technologies and their applicability to specific processes may help to clear the waters.

10. Ultrasonic Meters Provide Accurate Flow Testing Of Agricultural Spraying Systems 5/6/2020

    Today’s agricultural industry relies on advanced automated spraying systems for applying fertilizers and pesticides to fields. These automated systems can provide feedback and control to ensure proper amounts of chemicals are being applied. To achieve a high level of control, the system components (valves, nozzles, spray bar, and feed lines) need to perform accurately and repeatably. FTI Flow Technology, Inc., has worked with multiple agricultural spraying system original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to test full spraying systems and individual components.
