Wastewater Treatment Insights

  1. Re-Thinking The Global Challenge Of Water Scarcity 8/22/2023
    During World Water Week, participants from every corner of the world are meeting to discuss solutions to the planet's greatest water challenges, such as poverty, the climate crisis, and biodiversity loss. This year's focus is on innovation at a time of unprecedented challenges.
  2. New Membrane Technology Challenges Tradition To Better Handle Harsh Metal Wastewater Streams 8/18/2023

    New electronic devices, electric vehicles (EVs), or other cool technologies bring us delightful conveniences, but they also induce some headaches. Metal wastewater streams, a byproduct of the manufacturing processes of microelectronics, EVs, and a whole host of other industrial processes, are no different and pose their own challenges.

  3. 3 Innovative Ways PepsiCo Is Implementing Circular Water Systems 8/18/2023
    The pervasive and increasing incidence of water stress could perhaps be the most clear-cut consequence of climate change. As weather patterns become increasingly erratic and destructive, floods and drought are continuing to deplete water resources. We're no longer seeing predictable rainy and dry seasons to balance water tables. Couple this with growing and migrating populations that create an ever-increasing water demand, and the result is the undeniable water stress we're seeing globally.
  4. Amazing And Reliable Insights Gathered From Dissolved Oxygen Sensors 8/11/2023

    Dissolved oxygen sensor monitoring is critical to making wastewater plants run smoothly and within regulations. Here are some fascinating things people can learn by looking at data from these devices.

  5. Cyanobacteria’s Game Of Blooms: Fast Track Or Endurance Run? 8/10/2023
    Just like humans have the freedom to make life choices, cyanobacteria also possess their own unique survival strategies. Groundbreaking research conducted by Griffith University's Australian Rivers Institute unveils the fascinating world of cyanobacteria and how they employ phosphorus storage to thrive.
  6. Here's How Wastewater Facilities Could Tackle Food Waste, Generate Energy, And Slash Emissions 8/3/2023

    Most Australian food waste ends up in landfill. Rotting in the absence of oxygen produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. While some facilities capture this “landfill gas” to produce energy, or burn it off to release carbon dioxide instead, it’s a major contributor to climate change. Valuable resources such as water and nutrients are also wasted.

  7. Video: Getting Off The Water Grid, With Membranes 7/14/2023

    Membranes have long been proven effective for a variety of applications, but certain other applications pose difficulties for the technology, mostly due to O&M concerns. Next-generation membranes, however, have the ability to overcome traditional challenges — just in time to meet requirements for greater contaminant removal and sustainability.

  8. Optimizing Water Treatment For Green Hydrogen Production 7/13/2023
    As the world intensifies its focus on green hydrogen production, a critical factor that often goes unnoticed is water treatment. The process of producing hydrogen through electrolysis involves complex chemical reactions and precise atomic calculations, making water treatment an essential part of the equation.
  9. AI Analytics Transforms Water Management In Norway 7/12/2023
    The water-rich municipality of Lillestrøm was looking for a way to acquire more useful data to ensure decision-making and use of resources were as efficient as possible. Implementing a centralized artificial intelligence (AI) software has transformed water management and analytics for the better.
  10. Making Power From Sludge: A Sustainable Solution For Wastewater Treatment 7/7/2023
    Sludge can go from a problem to a resource with energy recovery, but the process must be supported by the proper technology to truly be efficient and sustainable.
