  2. Integrating MBRs Into Mixed-Use Developments 12/11/2025

    Diverse wastewater flows from mixed-use projects strain conventional systems. Learn how advanced biological treatment stabilizes unpredictable loads, ensures compliance, and delivers high-quality water suitable for reuse.

  3. Rumors, Half-Truths, And Truths About Temperature And pH 4/6/2015

    A few months ago I received a call from an angry user who was using one of our differential probes and a controller. Embedded in the probe is a thermistor that measures temperature.

  4. Membrane Technologies In Containerized Units Allow For Installation In A Small Footprint 4/23/2018

    After an international tender process, the Israel Electric Company (IEC) chose Fluence to design, manufacture, and supply containerized ultrapure water production systems for use as makeup water for heat-recovery steam generators (HRSG) and for NOx emission reduction at recently upgraded power plants across Israel. More than 15 units of 20 m3/h production modules, each fitted in two 40-foot shipping containers, were provided to seven power plants. Their compact design allowed for ease of installation, operation, and maintenance while meeting the customer’s demanding engineering standards.

  5. SL-RAT At Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority 9/20/2024

  6. City Of Fayetteville Replaces UV Treatment System With BlueInGreen's HyDOZ Solution 2/1/2021

    After researching different ozone systems, plant officials ata 12 MGD wastewater plant in Arkansas chose to install BlueInGreen’s HyDOZ technology in order to more efficiently meet current permit requirements, as well as prepare for future legislation.

  7. Tapping Into Big Savings With More Accurate Polymer Measurement 5/4/2021

    Polymers, especially flocculants and other thickeners, can be a major headache for drinking water and wastewater treatment plant managers. Power costs aside, buying polymer often represents the biggest expense of the treatment train. Not only are polymers pricey, but their high level of viscosity also presents a challenge to reliable measurement in varying conditions and at different levels of demand.

  8. To the Rescue: The DIMMINUTOR® Makes A Difference At Ross Valley Sanitary District 10/21/2021

    Ross Valley Sanitary District in San Rafael, California services approximately 47,000 mostly residential customers over a 27 square mile service area. They have 5 major pump stations, which is where Ross Valley found themselves having the most trouble. The existing channel grinders were simply not reliable. “It was a constant headache,” said Philip Marcantonio, Senior Collection System Worker. “The pumps were ragging up sometimes twice a week and sometimes twice a day.” The plant reported that the machines were not efficient at all. “It was a lot of extra work on us to keep the stations going,” Marcantonio said. On top of that, the constant downtime was causing even more than extra work; it was costing the district a lot of money. They knew this was not a sustainable system to keep their plant and stations running.
