  1. Disneyworld Hong Kong Kept Clean By Headworks® MS Sereis Bar Screens 9/1/2014

    Children around the world dream of playing with Mickey Mouse or visiting Sleeping Beauty in her castle. This dream became a reality for many children in Asia last year with the opening of Walt Disneyland Hong Kong.

  2. The Full SCADA Deal: The Benefits Of Adopting A Complete SCADA System Over A Sophisticated RTU-Based Solution 5/14/2014

    For over a decade, The Bahamas Water and Sewerage Company (BWSC) faced significant service challenges on the Island of New Providence. These included a lack of centralized monitoring and control for the island’s primary water treatment and distribution system, as well as limited reporting, alarming and remote access.

  3. A New Paradigm In Aeration Technology 5/13/2014

    The DO2E organization sprang from one individual’s attempt to solve an aeration problem in a fish hatchery and realizing that his device to do so had many other applications as well. This device broke up algal blooms as well as aerating, and it was only a short step to modify it into breaking up FOG (fats, oils, and grease) deposits in grease traps and lift stations. This device was patented, thus DO2E was born.

  4. Replacement Vacuum Feeders For Hypo Treatment End Heavy Feeder Maintenance Burden At WWTP 4/30/2014

    The instrumentation supervisor for the City of Baltimore, MD’s 150-MGD Back River wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) reports that replacement of problematic vacuum feeders with more advanced vacuum feed units has ended heavy maintenance burdens associated with sodium hypochlorite (hypo) treatment of plant effluent.

  5. Self-Cleaning Lift Stations And Hydroscreen Drastically Increase Efficiency In Brewery 4/14/2014

    ClearBlu provided duplexing in-ground lift stations and a self-cleaning waterfall hydroscreen for the brewery who self-installed the equipment.  ClearBlu design and instructions made it possible for the brewery to install the lift stations and screen themselves, as well as to have the screen stand fabricated locally.  ClearBlu lift stations are fabricated from fiberglass which resists deterioration from acidic wastewater and are self-cleaning.  Round basins can be stirred so that they never have to be cleaned out.

  6. Michigan Utility's New Pumps Underscore Advancements In Wastewater Handling 3/18/2014

    Ypsilanti’s pumps, originally put into service in 1982, became priority candidates for replacement after operating ten years beyond their expected 20 year service life. The Ypsilanti Community Utilities Authority (YCUA), included the project in the utility’s Master Plan.

  7. Pump Stations Go Undercover (And Viral) 2/24/2014

    For all the expert and vital work done in the water, wastewater, and stormwater industries, it generally doesn’t make great party conversation. Unfortunately, the efforts are so taken for granted that they go largely unnoticed by the general public. So how is it that a YouTube video about a pump station garners nearly million views and counting?

  8. 5 Steps Every Utility Should Take Now To Prepare For Disaster 2/24/2014

    When it comes to support during an emergency, the water sector sometimes gets left out. Here’s how to guarantee community help in a crisis and other important steps every water utility should take before disaster strikes.

  9. Submersible Pumps Eliminate Flood Damage Concerns At LaGuardia Airport 1/23/2014

    During Hurricane Sandy, La Guardia Airport’s five stormwater pump stations lost power, resulting in flooding of an estimated 100 million gallons of water.  The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey quickly moved up its planned renovations and installed nine axial flow pumps capable of moving large volumes of water at low heads. The propeller-type pumps have motors that are invulnerable to submersion during high-water incidents, improving the airport’s stormwater control, flexibility, and operational efficiency.

  10. Lift Station Reduces Clogging, Lowers Operating Expenses With Self-Cleaning Pumps 1/8/2014

    Aging pumps at Jackson Energy Authority’s Rolling Acres Lift Station (Jackson, Tenn.) resulted in frequent clogging and outages that required costly maintenance and repair.
