81. Maximizing The Benefits Of Plastic Pipe Prefabrication And Engineering 9/21/2020

    Thermoplastic piping’s advantages are not limited to chemical-resistant properties alone. Before the first component is installed, plastic pipe engineering principles and prefabrication options create multiple cost and performance benefits. Water Online spoke with Brian LaBelle of GF Piping Systems to understand how water treatment facilities and OEMs can take greater advantage of the full breadth of plastic piping’s opportunities.

82. A Guide To Selecting UV Technology For Drinking Water Disinfection 1/23/2020

    Selecting the proper lamps to perform disinfection, either low pressure or medium pressure, is at the core of an effective and economical UV implementation. The problem is that a lingering misconception that low pressure is a better choice simply because it is more energy efficient typically sends decision-makers down the wrong path.

83. Centuries Old Infrastructure Gains Control With The Insta Valve 250 1/30/2020

    Hydra-Stop’s solution allowed the city to gain control of their infrastructure where no valves were present.

84. It Runs Through A River: 1.7 Miles Of AMERICAN Products Help Deliver Water In North Alabama 4/26/2019

    Six million gallons of water per day (MGD) sounds like a lot of water, and it is, but it wasn’t enough to meet Limestone County’s projected demands for drinking water. Around 1,000 customers were being added each year, and a number of inquiries had been made about increased industrial development.

85. The Evolution Of AMI — What’s Next? 3/19/2020

    In the evolution of water distribution, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has become a valuable asset in reducing labor requirements, improving customer service and billing, and providing a baseline of information for better data management. The question is how much more can AMI do, and how can water utilities take maximum advantage? Here are some insights and ideas.

86. 'Smart Water' Benefits Without 'Big Data' Intimidation 3/31/2020

    For water treatment plants (WTPs) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) pressured to do more with their data despite being pinched by a tight budget and a need to retrain employees, a new strategy can make all the difference. Here is how one such approach makes ‘smart water’ analytics less intimidating and how it has helped one utility make more cost-effective decisions while saving precious time and money.

87. Liquid-Only Sewers Offer A Cost-Effective Solution 4/20/2020

    Liquid-only sewers (also known as “effluent sewers”) have proven to be a cost-effective solution for municipalities, new subdivisions, and a variety of other areas in need of sewer. As opposed to the big pipes and deep excavations typically required by gravity sewers, liquid-only sewers use small-diameter, shallowly buried mainlines that follow the contour of the land and are easily installed with light-duty equipment, minimizing disturbance to the surrounding area.

88. Maximizing Your Capital Investment In Clean Water Pumps 10/6/2020

    In many clean water pump applications, performance problems affect only a small segment of the total infrastructure. Dealing with routine repairs, extinct pump OEMs, or changing performance requirements does not have to come down to all-or-nothing replacement. Here are some opportunities and strategies for maximizing the value of existing pumping infrastructure at a fraction of the expense of a new installation.

89. Designing A Facility For Vaccine Production 9/17/2020

    Effective vaccine production facility planning combines technological innovation, streamlined workflows, and savvy budget management to ensure project speedbumps don’t become roadblocks.
