From Drought To Deluge: Gauging The Impact Of Western Rains
4/10/2023
For a number of years now, we have heard of dwindling water supplies in the western part of the U.S., but 2023 brought "atmospheric rivers" that (literally) flooded the Golden State and filled 12 of its 17 major reservoirs above their historical averages for the start of spring. It's a double-edged sword when such extreme weather arises, and obviously important to learn from the experience to better prepare for future events and plan for both resiliency and sustainability.

8 Reasons To Revisit Quats For Cooling-Water Algae Control
7/29/2021
The need for cooling-water systems is common among industrial applications, but the treatments needed to keep them operating at peak efficiency can change from location to location and season to season. Here is why a different type of quaternary ammonium compound (quat) algaecide has an important role to play in balancing performance, efficiency, and total lifecycle costs across many cooling-water-treatment regimens.

Importance Of Filtration in Water Treatment For Process Water & Wastewater Reuse
2/2/2021
Filtration is very important for many commercial/industrial process water & wastewater reuse applications. In reality, pumping wastewater from somewhere like a refinery, food/beverage, textile or oil produced water application requires pre-filtration due to high amount of suspended solids in these typical applications. In fact, there are typically several filtration and treatment steps in these applications to ensure that the treated water meets the required discharge or reuse standard. In addition, filtration in water treatment ensures reduced operating cost on downstream polishing water treatment systems.
