Wastewater Treatment Insights

1. The Role Of Turbine Flow Meters In Wastewater Treatment Plants 9/10/2025

   Wastewater plants are made up of a series of interconnected processes, each one dependent on accurate data. Turbine flow meters can be installed at several stages to provide operators with real-time, trustworthy flow information.

2. Harnessing The Power Of Oxidation-Reduction Potential For Smarter Wastewater Management 9/5/2025

   “Potential” is in the name. Here’s what wastewater managers should know about both the benefits and challenges of ORP as an agent of process control.

3. Megadroughts Are Here To Stay, And U.S. Water Utilities Need To Adapt 9/2/2025
   Researchers warn that California and other states affected by megadroughts — periods of drought lasting 20+ years — will have to accept this as the new normal. That means rethinking the water cycle and finding new, more sustainable water sources.
4. Water Conservation And Reuse For Data Centers 8/25/2025
   Because of our own decades-long mismanagement of our collective global water resources, we are now facing a global freshwater crisis where the demand for freshwater is predicted to exceed its supply by 40% by the year 2030. Directly coinciding with the water crisis timeline is the growing need for data center construction in order to accommodate AI, cloud computing, and other Big Data and IoT processing.
5. Iron Nanoparticles Can Help Treat Contaminated Water — Scientists Have Created Them Out Of Expired Supplements 8/14/2025
   Researchers from Georgia Tech have developed an eco-friendly method to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles from expired over-the-counter iron supplements. This approach not only gives value to discarded products but also supports a more sustainable and circular method of production.
6. Before You Choose A Wastewater Treatment Technology, Ask These 5 Questions 8/12/2025
   When it comes to choosing a wastewater treatment strategy for a specific water issue, facility managers often start by asking themselves what the best technology is for addressing their contaminant. However, there are far more important questions that need to be answered first.
7. How Industry Is Solving Its Water Supply Crisis 7/10/2025
   The business case for industrial water reuse has fundamentally shifted. Companies once evaluated these systems against environmental goals or regulatory compliance costs. Today, they're measuring them against operational risk and supply security — a calculation that increasingly favors reuse regardless of sustainability credentials.
8. How Santa Monica Became A Sustainable Water Leader 7/3/2025
   Lessons in urban water management through water conservation, capture, and reuse.
9. Designer Microbes: Can Synthetic Biology Supercharge Wastewater Treatment? 7/3/2025

   Exploring the potential of bioengineering as a pathway to pollution remediation.

10. Algae Can Clean Sewage Without Electricity Or Chemicals — We Put It To The Test 6/6/2025

    Large wastewater facilities are designed to remove physical, chemical, and biological contaminants from domestic wastewater or industrial effluent, producing treated water that is safe to discharge into rivers. But they’re expensive and energy-intensive. They’re also difficult to maintain in rural areas where local government doesn’t get much revenue.
