Water and Wastewater Solutions For Industry

  1. Sun-Activated LilyPads Remove Contaminants Without Chemicals 10/24/2014

    Puralytics LilyPads are hardly noticeable in the ponds, lakes, and catchment areas where they are deployed. Made of mesh and plastic, the flat, 1-meter diameter disks could even be confused for their plant namesake if not for their white color.

  2. Can Co-Locating Utilities Solve The Water-Energy Nexus? 4/21/2014

    Resources being a scarce commodity, it’s incumbent upon us to optimize the use of water and energy as best we can. While conservation is the prime course of action for the public, the best solution for utilities may be to work smarter — by having the water-energy nexus work for us instead of against us.

  3. Stickney Phosphorus Reactor Lift 7/30/2015

    Construction of the world’s largest phosphorus recovery facility continues at our Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. On July 22, one of three reactors was lifted, rotated and placed into the building. This time-lapse video shows a portion of the process which required approximately 50 minutes to complete.

  4. Industrial Automation Will Create A Future-Proof Industry 1/12/2022

    The arrow is pointing up for the water and wastewater industry, thanks to funding and technology advances, but certain work remains to ensure the promise is fulfilled.

  5. A Filtration Solution For When Spring Has Sprung 4/20/2017

    This mobile filtration technology offers water treatment operations a chance to combat the runoff and solids brought in by seasonal ice melt.

  6. An 11-Step Plan To Prepare For Upstream Chemical Spills 12/19/2016

    A catastrophic chemical spill in 2014 inspired a research group to develop a methodology for how such drinking water disasters could be avoided by systems in the future.

  7. The Big Fracking Question: Is Drinking Water At Risk? 12/5/2014

    Understanding the impacts of hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) on source water, in both quantity and quality, is of vital importance to industry, the economy, and society. The latest research on the subject is presented, along with possible solutions to help overcome known and potential problems.

  8. Lime Slaker System Reduces Operating Costs And Increases Sustainability At WTP 2/2/2017

    The West African City of Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire has historically provided drinking water to its five million residents from water treatment plants that use hydrated lime systems. But because of the high content of carbon dioxide in the local groundwater, up to 160 ppm, setting the water to calcium carbonate equilibrium using hydrated lime was economically, operationally and environmentally challenging for the city of Abidjan.

  9. The Importance Of An Industrial Water Treatment Program 9/4/2014

    Water is considered the “life blood” of any facility for the simple reason that it transfers heat from one location to another.  A complete water treatment program has one goal in mind, to manage the efficiency of that heat transfer.

  10. Environmentally Sustainable Waste/Wastewater Treatment System For Leading Snack Manufacturer 4/22/2016

    Jack Link’s, a leading protein snack producer, was in need of a water treatment solution at its facility in Alpena, South Dakota.
