Research studies, empirical evidence, and the march of time all suggest that the implementation of next-generation technologies at wastewater utilities is profoundly important, if not imperative, for efficient operations.
Innovation doesn’t always flip current thinking on its head; in many cases, it improves an existing process to give it better or wider application. Such is the case when bioleaching is applied to wastewater sludge.
Research scientists are making strides to advance the safety and application of potable water reuse through the use of metagenomics for water quality analysis.
Is water hammer pounding your pipeline infrastructure into submission? Here are some tips for avoiding issues associated with hydraulic transients.
A new industrial wastewater treatment system makes the most out of relatively little energy to eliminate non-biodegradable compounds.
2018 is sure to be marked with advancements that make water and wastewater treatment more efficient and sustainable. To keep up with the areas best poised for improvement this year, here is a look at three practices that are in need of change.
Water professionals are constantly looking for ways to produce the highest quality water while staying within limited budgets. In addition, regulations are constantly changing, becoming increasingly stringent. New technologies are essential to meeting customer demands for quality and cost.
Ultraviolet radiation (UV) has become increasingly popular for disinfecting wastewater treatment plant effluent. UV provides safe, reliable, and cost-effective disinfection. However, proper operation and maintenance (O&M) is needed to ensure the best performance. In addition, using best O&M practices extends equipment life.
Last year was full of twists and turns for the drinking water and wastewater treatment industries. What can 2017’s biggest stories tell us about what’s to come this year?
Though some preliminary regulations have taken place to curb the presence of microplastics in the environment, more research is needed to determine what role wastewater treatment plants can and will play in solving the problem for good.
