  1. Energy Efficiency In Surface Water Treatment: Where Utilities Can Save Big 3/23/2026

    What if your plant's biggest cost driver was locked in at the design stage? See how early energy optimization reshapes whole-life financial outcomes.

  2. Building Climate-Resilient Surface Water Treatment Plants 3/23/2026

    What does it actually cost to build climate resilience into a water treatment plant? The answer depends on the right analytical framework.

  3. Scenario Modelling For Surface Water Treatment: Why It Matters More Than Ever 3/23/2026

    Single-future design assumptions are no longer sufficient. See what scenario modelling reveals about building treatment infrastructure that performs across decades of uncertainty.

  4. Reducing Pre-Construction Risk In Surface Water Projects With Automated Design Tools 3/23/2026

    What if most water infrastructure cost overruns were preventable at the design stage? See how rigorous early-stage analysis changes project outcomes.

  5. Water Agitation vs. F.O.G.: How Technology Is Solving A Costly Problem In Lift Stations 3/17/2026

    Wastewater lift stations struggle with F.O.G. buildup, causing maintenance headaches. Continuous water agitation, like Kasco’s HydraForce™, prevents grease accumulation, reduces chemical use, and improves pump efficiency.

  6. 2nd Generation ATAD Provides High Quality Biosolids With Increased Capacity 3/16/2026

    Modernize solids handling with automated aerobic digestion to manage rapid community growth. This high-rate process increases capacity, ensures Class A compliance, and significantly reduces disposal costs while providing odor-free operations through advanced nutrient and off-gas management.

  7. 2nd Generation ATAD System Improves Capacity While Producing Odor-Free Biosolids 3/16/2026

    Upgrade wastewater operations with automated aerobic digestion. This advanced process increases capacity and ensures stable temperature control for Class A compliance, producing odor-free biosolids and efficient nitrogen removal to meet strict environmental standards and community expectations.

  8. How Sewage Treatment Plants Could Handle Food Waste, Sparing Landfills And The Climate 3/13/2026

    Every day, food scraps disappear into trash bags, are hauled away, and forgotten. But that waste could be turned into something productive.

  9. Sustainable Wastewater Solutions For Today's Challenges 3/13/2026

    Traditional gravity sewers rely on large-diameter mains, deep trenches, and often multiple lift stations — elements that carry significant capital and restoration costs, particularly in rural or rugged terrain. To improve cost efficiency and sustainability, many municipalities are adopting decentralized collection systems such as Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) systems, Septic Tank Effluent Gravity (STEG) systems, and liquid-only sewers.

  10. Rethinking Aeration: Demand-Based DO Control And Energy Optimization 3/13/2026

    Aeration control strategies often remain conservative and static. Blowers operate continuously, oxygen levels are maintained near maximum, and airflow rates are rarely adjusted in response to real-time biological demand. The result is widespread over-aeration — a condition that does not improve treatment performance but significantly increases operating costs.
