1. Keeping Polar Regions Ecologically Safe 3/9/2020

   With a growing trend in expedition-type cruising and an increase in commercial shipping traffic navigating the Northern Sea Route and to a lesser extent the Northwest Passage, the need for the regular and accurate monitoring of a passenger vessel’s ballast water treatment system (BWTS) has never been so acute.

2. Better CAPEX, OPEX Options For PFAS Treatment 9/11/2019

   The documented performance of ion exchange (IX) resins for treating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) offers new opportunities for more practical solutions in many applications. IX has demonstrated its ability to reduce both capital and operating costs compared to the conventional granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment approach.

3. Using Advanced Tools To Stem The Lost Revenue Tide 5/29/2019

   From the largest metropolitan utilities to the smallest water systems, leaks are a problem everywhere. Because it’s difficult to raise consumer prices to offset the losses, non-revenue water has a direct impact on the bottom line of municipal water systems. However, utility managers now have an opportunity to reverse the problem with advanced flow meter technology that combines multiple measurements.

4. Are You On The Hook For U.S. EPA Effluent Limitations Guidelines? 5/28/2020

   While wastewater effluent standards mandated by the U.S. EPA and individual states eventually come down to a number, it pays to understand how those standards are established and the challenges of meeting them in real-world applications. Here is a look at the multiple pieces of that puzzle, including their wastewater treatment implications for industrial-scale meat and poultry processing operations.

5. Simplified Testing For BPA In Source Water 6/20/2019

   It’s common to see “BPA Free” labels on water bottles and other containers, a response to consumers who have grown increasingly wary of the contaminant. However, testing for BPAs that may have found their way into drinking water sources has traditionally been cumbersome and expensive, so municipalities could be exposing their customers to unsafe levels. The good news is that newer advancements are making it easier to use existing technologies to monitor for the pollutant.

6. FILTRASORB 400 Provides PFAS Solution For Air Force Base In Interior Alaska 10/23/2019

   When Eielson Air Force Base, located in the interior of Alaska, found high levels of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in their drinking water, they needed a solution that was effective, cost-efficient, and operable in extreme temperatures. Calgon Carbon’s Model 10 adsorption system, filled with FILTRASORB 400 granular activated carbon (GAC), was determined to be the best option.

7. Simpler “Smart Water”: A Paradigm Shift For AMI Deployment 3/16/2020

   As municipal water utilities face relentless financial pressure — with consumers who oppose rate increases at one end of the spectrum and a crisis of aging infrastructure at the other — “smart water” is becoming an imperative. Driving adoption of the technology on a widespread scale requires simplicity and cost certainty, both of which can be found in newer network as a service (NaaS) models for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

8. Grundfos’ Commitment To Sustainability Helps Team Win Prize For Water Innovation Challenge 10/8/2019

   Once you know Grundfos, you realize the company’s commitment to promoting sustainability is genuine. The global leader in pumps spearheads programs worldwide to help promote the efficient and sustainable use of water and energy.

9. Opportunities And Challenges In Decentralized Wastewater Reuse Applications 4/20/2020

   The level of acceptance and implementation of wastewater reuse and recycling strategies varies dramatically across geographic regions. Several drivers impact the perceived necessity for regulatory structures that allow – or sometimes encourage – the treatment of sewage to levels for reuse.

10. EPA Proposed Revisions To The Lead & Copper Rule 12/16/2019

    On October 10th, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced the long-awaited proposed revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule (LCRR) which was promulgated nearly 30 years ago under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
