Wastewater Treatment Resources

  1. Every Bad Chlorine Reading Costs You Twice 7/24/2026

    Inaccurate residual readings force water treatment facilities to overdose expensive chemicals or risk regulatory non-compliance. Maintaining measurement accuracy across fluctuating water conditions eliminates costly safety margins and lowers daily chemical expenses.

  2. The Swarm Effect: Monitoring The Pipe, Not Just The Plant 7/22/2026

    Conventional distribution monitoring relies on sparse plant-level data, forcing utilities to infer water quality across wide piping networks. Dense, multi-point sensing delivers real-time visibility, allowing operators to target flushing, isolate contamination, and optimize distribution operations.

  3. Your Backflow Program Is More Vulnerable Than You Think 7/20/2026

    Managing municipal backflow prevention programs requires tracking thousands of assemblies, test notices, and certifications. Replacing manual recordkeeping with automated digital tracking eliminates backlogs, ensuring timely enforcement and protecting public drinking water systems from contamination.

  4. Commercial Wastewater Treatment Relies On Advanced Decentralized Solutions 7/18/2026

    Decentralized advanced wastewater treatment has become an increasingly effective solution for a wide range of commercial facilities. Fortunately, modern advanced treatment systems provide highly effective, customizable, and cost-efficient solutions that can be tailored to the unique operating characteristics of each commercial site while meeting demanding environmental performance standards.

  5. The Retirement Cliff Is Here. Your Analyzers Shouldn't Need A 30-Year Operator. 7/17/2026

    Widespread industry retirements and staffing shortages threaten operational continuity. Adopting low-maintenance, self-calibrating monitoring technology reduces reliance on specialized manual upkeep while establishing automated digital historical records that protect critical operational knowledge through workforce transitions.

  6. The Sites You Gave Up On: Monitoring Where There's No Drain 7/17/2026

    Drainage constraints often prevent continuous water quality monitoring at remote tanks, dead-end mains, and critical distribution junctions. Adopting waste-free sensing technology removes plumbing barriers, enabling utilities to close coverage gaps and protect water quality across isolated network sites.

  7. Stop Flushing Blind: Using Residual Data To Cut Flushing Volumes 7/17/2026

    Calendar-based flushing programs dump treated water unnecessarily across entire distribution systems. Integrating continuous residual monitoring at vulnerable locations enables data-driven flushing, allowing operators to target only low-residual segments, reduce water loss, and create clear compliance records.

  8. Compliance Monitoring Without The Lab Runs: The EPA Method 334.0 Math 7/17/2026

    Manual grab sampling for chlorine residual compliance burdens operators with excessive drive time and laboratory costs. Adopting continuous, certified online monitoring satisfies regulatory reporting requirements while freeing technical staff for higher-priority operational tasks.

  9. Geomembrane Liner Selection For Municipal Wastewater Lagoons: HDPE vs. LLDPE vs. RPP — A Field Installer's Perspective 7/14/2026

    High-density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and reinforced polypropylene (RPP), among other materials, all show up on municipal wastewater and manure lagoon liner projects. Each of these lagoon liners has a place, and the differences aren't just chemistry on a datasheet; they show up physically on site.

  10. The Future Of Field Water Testing: Shifting From Sequential To Parallel Analysis 7/13/2026

    Manual water testing drains operational hours and increases human error. Transitioning to parallel analysis lets field technicians test multiple parameters simultaneously, reducing testing times by up to 75% while improving field data integrity.
