  1. Rental Blowers Offer Proactive Approach To Aeration-Related Infrastructure Projects 3/25/2020

    As the nation’s wastewater infrastructure continues to age and the demands on its systems continue to grow, a proactive approach to upgrades and enhancements is paramount. However, important wastewater projects involving aeration systems have often been delayed by utilities because of the high costs associated with temporary air while the project unfolds. Rental solution providers can have a significantly positive impact on the overall cost of a project, allowing the work to move forward.

  2. How To Boost Wastewater Treatment Capacity Within An Existing Footprint 7/9/2019

    Municipalities can find themselves in a real bind when wastewater treatment operations are strained by population growth. That’s because facilities are either landlocked and can’t expand at their current location, or the prospect of building an addition isn’t in the budget. When the bottleneck is at the digesters — the tanks where microorganisms break down waste — there are some common-sense strategies treatment plants can employ to address those growing pains.

  3. The Financial Upside Of Electronic Meters 5/28/2019

    Mechanical flow meters have a proven track record. However, there’s a downside. Electronic meters — which are gaining wider acceptance — are less prone to damage, require little to no maintenance, and can be comparably priced or even less expensive when operating costs are taken into account.

  4. Weather Or Not: AMI That Stays Connected 3/16/2020

    As emerging weather patterns that cause significant damage and disruption across populated areas have become more common and show no signs of slowing down, many water utilities are improving resiliency in order to properly serve their communities and meet newer regulatory requirements.

  5. The City Of Aurora Saves Annually With In-House Asset Prioritization 8/20/2019

    The City of Aurora is home to over 370,000 people and is Colorado’s third-largest city. Their wastewater system consists of approximately 1,100 miles of underground piping network.

  6. LTE-M Standard Redefines Cellular Efficiency For Water Meter Readings 9/9/2019

    The term “cellular” often calls to mind certain assumptions and limitations based on prior experience with consumer cellphone networks. Don’t confuse cellular-based Internet of Things (IoT) applications with past cellular experiences, though. The relatively new Long Term Evolution for Machines (LTE-M) standard represents a whole new ballgame. In short, “This is not your father’s cellular network.”

  7. Goulds Water Technology Teams Up With Customers To Provide Reliable Water Source To A Connecticut Community 7/8/2020

    The Catskill Mountains make for beautiful scenery but the rolling hills present the challenge of reliably pumping water to residential areas. Xylem’s Goulds Water Technology Aquavar Intelligent Pump Controller, and the help of distributor D&S Pump and Supply Co., and installer Foley’s Pump Service ensure water reaches a Connecticut community.

  8. Driving Efficiency And Reducing Waste, New Approaches To Sustainable Chemistry Are Greener By Design 7/29/2020

    When it was conceived by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) more than 30 years ago, “Green Chemistry” was intended to prompt solutions to real-world environmental problems resulting from industrial processes, emissions, and waste. These drivers remain as relevant now as they were then.

  9. Technology Selection To Enhance Bioavailability 7/23/2020

    Bioavailability challenges are among the toughest problems faced by today’s formulators. Most of the prospective drugs in pharmaceutical pipelines today have low solubility, which means the active therapeutic ingredients can’t be absorbed when patients take them orally. This paper gives an overview of obstacles to bioavailability and summarizes the Lonza technology selection process.

  10. Keys To Tackling Industrial PFAS Treatment 10/10/2019

    While municipalities have been working for several years to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, a growing number of industrial operations are being prompted to treat their wastewater and stormwater for the contaminants. While any steps taken to reduce PFAS are positive, performing a thorough investigation before selecting a solution is critical to getting the best results at the lowest cost.
