Wastewater Treatment Insights

  1. How To Strengthen Your Flow Monitoring Strategy … Before The Next Overflow 10/30/2025

    Strategic flow monitoring helps wastewater utilities curb overflows, cut costs, and safeguard public health by turning accurate data into proactive action.

  2. Pretreatment Filtration For Small Systems: The Expensive Pitfalls Of Low-Cost Equipment 10/30/2025

    When seeking bids for a fair comparison, it’s important to evaluate the total cost of ownership.

  3. Breakthrough Recyclable Polyimide Membranes Transform Wastewater And High-Salinity Water Treatment 10/28/2025

    Researchers have developed polyimide-based membranes for membrane distillation (MD) that overcome three persistent issues in membranes for water treatment and gas separations: the need for pore-forming chemicals that prevent recycling, performance degradation due to pore wetting and fouling, and the inherent trade-off between high water flux and selectivity.

  4. How Submersible And Non-Clog Pump Designs Are Reshaping Municipal Sewage Systems 10/23/2025

    As technology improves and becomes more accessible, outdated municipal wastewater systems are fast beginning to show their age. Today, water pumps come in a variety of designs that enable uses that previous generations could only have dreamed of.

  5. Advances In Wastewater Treatment Systems To Address Limited Space And Stringent Regulations 10/7/2025
    The demand for smaller, highly effective wastewater treatment systems continues to grow due to land scarcity and high prices in many parts of the country and the desire by developers, builders, and homeowners to maximize the use of every square foot of property.
  6. A Market On Edge: PVDF's Uncertain Future And The Ceramic Alternative 10/6/2025
    By classifying PVDF as a PFAS “forever chemical” and including it under the proposed restriction, the EU has introduced the prospect of a multi-billion-dollar technology shift. While the outcome will depend on the final derogation periods granted, the proposal creates a defined regulatory horizon for PVDF membranes and forces the global water industry to evaluate alternatives.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
