CONTAMINANT REMOVAL RESOURCES

• Addressing Water Treatment Challenges: Technology Access Limitations By Small, Rural Water Utilities

  With aging infrastructures, lean and limited personnel, lower budgets, and less accessible, often remote locations, smaller and rural water treatment plants are challenged in maintaining operations while understanding new and important technologies in improving contaminant removal in water treatment. 

• Addressing Water Treatment Challenges Faced By Potable Water Utilities

  “Emerging Contaminants" can be broadly defined as any synthetic or naturally occurring chemical that is not commonly monitored in the environment. These substances have the potential to enter the environment and cause known or suspected adverse ecological and/or human health effects.

• Market Outlook: Growth Opportunities In PFAS Water And Wastewater Treatment (2024-2031)

  The U.S. PFAS water and wastewater treatment equipment market is expected to grow at over 11% from 2024 to 2031, primarily driven by stringent regulatory requirements and enhanced public awareness of PFAS contamination risks. The market was estimated at over $90 million in 2024.
• Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority Uses Powdered Activated Carbon To Ensure High Quality Drinking Water

  Founded in 1982, Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority supplies drinking water to a region of approximately one million people living south of Tampa Bay in DeSoto, Charlotte, Sarasota and Manatee Counties. Its surface water treatment plant draws water from the Peace River to a reservoir and treats it to drinking water standards at the rate of about 31 million gallons a day.

• Efficient Carbon And Ion Exchange Media Exchange

  This document outlines the essential steps required to exchange spent media, including disposal of spent media.

• Designing And Evaluating A Water Treatment Media Pilot

  Evaluating the use of activated carbon and other media for water treatment is a crucial step to ensure project goals are achieved.

• Identifying Contaminants Of Concern

  In this article, we outline the sources, occurrence, known health issues, and mitigation options for specific contaminants.

• The Four Tenets Of Pressure Vessel Design

  This article discusses the four tenets of designing pressure vessels: Corrosion Management, Hydraulic Performance, Media Optimization, and Maintenance and Operations and its relation to optimizing PFAS removal.

• Goodbye Forever After: From Simulations Come Real Promise For PFAS Solutions

  Chemical simulations powered by artificial intelligence — and a trifecta of companies — may be the beginning of the end for "forever chemicals."
• We Developed A Way To Use Light To Dismantle PFAS 'Forever Chemicals' — Long-Lasting Environmental Pollutants

  Conventional water treatment methods can remove PFAS from water, but these processes merely concentrate the contaminants instead of destroying them. However, a new photocatalytic system has been developed that directly targets and dismantles the molecular structure of PFAS, holding the potential for complete mineralization.
