    Learn key ozone formulas, unit conversions, and measurement standards to accurately calculate generator output, concentration, and dosage for effective system design, performance verification, and safe operation.

  4. From Compliance To Circularity: Rethinking Chromium Management In Chrome Tanning 3/5/2026
    In an industrial landscape increasingly shaped by lifecycle accountability, material traceability, and rising disposal costs, chromium recovery is not merely a technical alternative — it is a strategic upgrade, where wastewater can become a resource stream.
  5. Produced Water Treatment Market: The Next Big Wave In Industrial Sustainability 2/18/2026
    With the rise of water scarcity, environmental regulations, and corporate sustainability mandates, produced water treatment has become a strategic imperative for industries far beyond oil and gas. It is one of the fastest-growing segments in the water treatment industry, which has emerged as an amalgamation of environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, and technological innovation.
  6. Reclaiming Water From Contaminated Brine Can Increase Water Supply And Reduce Environmental Harm 2/6/2026
    People around the globe are trying to figure out how to save, conserve, and reuse water in a variety of ways, including reusing treated sewage wastewater and removing valuable salts from seawater. But for all the clean water they may produce, those processes leave behind a type of liquid called brine. I’m working on getting the water out of that potential source, too.
  7. Water In 2026: The Nexus Of Policy, Technology, And Resilience 1/20/2026
    As water systems become more circular and complex, understanding and managing the subsurface — the hidden half of the water cycle — is becoming a critical enabler of resilience. This article explores the key trends shaping this new reality, from tackling “forever chemicals” to the water strategies redefining heavy industry.
  8. Liquid-Only Sewers: A New Approach To Decentralized Wastewater Collection 1/14/2026
    Traditional sewer systems, while effective, often require significant capital investment, invasive implementation measures, and complex maintenance. As a result, innovative decentralized wastewater solutions are necessary to address the needs of communities or commercial areas in need of wastewater service. One such solution is the liquid-only sewer (LOS) system.
  9. How Advanced Process Controls Empower Operators, Enhance Effluent Quality, Save Energy, And Reduce Emissions At WWTPs 10/30/2025

    Technology like advanced process control systems can streamline operations, create opportunities to lower costs and emissions, and ensure effluent quality meets the highest standards. Research also indicates that implementing an appropriate control strategy can help reduce N2O emissions.
