Wastewater Treatment Insights

  1. Improving The Resilience Of A UV System For Wastewater Disinfection 7/18/2024
    One important consequence of climate change for wastewater treatment plants is that they now need to cope with sudden increases in the effluent volume with the receiving waterbodies equally carrying more water and being in flood conditions. This is especially true for the final treatment step — disinfection prior to discharge.
  2. Harnessing Rainwater: A Sustainable Solution For Water Security 7/15/2024

    The global rainwater harvesting market, valued at US$839.7 million in 2022, is projected to exhibit a robust CAGR of 6.3%, reaching US$1.5 billion by 2031. This growth is driven by escalating water scarcity concerns exacerbated by erratic rainfall patterns and climate change impacts.

  3. The Potential Of Rainwater As A Renewable Resource 7/12/2024

    As water resources become more stressed, continuing to "waste" rainwater becomes increasingly inadvisable, perhaps even irresponsible.

  4. Optimization Strategies To Streamline Community Wastewater Utility Operations 7/12/2024
    The availability of robust, stable treatment systems with simple treatment processes and O&M is key to serving growing community wastewater treatment demand.
  5. A Multi-Billion-Dollar Water Industry Segment Not To Be Overlooked 7/11/2024
    Water resources are a critical component of any region's ecosystems. But, perhaps even more important is the realization that water is also essential for human survival. Its needs cannot be ignored.
  6. A Digital Journey Through ACE24 6/28/2024
    With more than 10,500 attendees at ACE24, AWWA's Annual Conference and Exposition is getting back on track to (almost) pre-COVID levels. And if you were away for a while, you were struck by the amount of digital technologies on the show floor.
  7. All-Terrain Sewers Got A Good Beat, And Indy Dances To It 6/17/2024
    When Susan Raccoli penned "Beneath the Ground, Raw Sewage" (to the tune of "St. Christopher") in 1993, her hometown of Indianapolis inspired the lyrics. "Our septic failure is a curse," she wrote, with verses alluding to its "Third World"; smells, high water tables, clay soil "which does not perk," typhoid, cholera, mosquitoes singing "with glee," and the "expensive" but desired transition to gravity sewers.
  8. Innovating Wastewater Treatment: Harnessing AI For Energy Efficiency And Enhanced Performance 6/7/2024

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a promising solution to the challenges posed by energy-intensive aeration processes and the consequent escalation of operational costs in wastewater treatment.

  9. Industrial Water Treatment Solutions In Texas To Combat Water Scarcity 5/23/2024
    Imagine a world where you could optimize a modular treatment system approach. No more one-size-fits-all solutions or sky-high costs. Texas industrial companies are diving into the world of modular water treatment, and they're not looking back.
  10. 6 Steps To Improving Energy Efficiency In Water And Wastewater Operations 5/7/2024
    Water and wastewater utilities account for nearly 4% of the world's energy consumption. With emissions targets looming and pressures building around water tariffs that frequently fall short of covering costs, there's an urgent need to reduce energy usage. This means tackling inefficient processes, such as mechanical flow control and the use of oversized equipment.
