CONTAMINANT REMOVAL RESOURCES

• Ozone-Compatible Materials: Why Material Selection Matters For Piping, Valves, Seals, And Long-Term System Reliability

  Ozone compatibility is not a yes-or-no material property. It depends on the full service environment and duty cycle, and overlooked seals and tubing can undermine otherwise sound designs.

• Minneapolis Flexes Its Mussels For Source Water Monitoring Solution

  Protecting municipal drinking water requires rapid visibility into changing surface source conditions. Discover how combining biological indicators with continuous inline spectrometry delivers real-time contamination alerts, preventing costly treatment plant shutdowns and safeguarding consumer health.

• DEXSORB® Treatment At Groundwater Pump Station

  Discover how upgrading existing filter infrastructure with advanced adsorbent media provided over 600 days of continuous PFAS removal, treating millions of gallons of contaminated groundwater to achieve strict drinking water compliance.

• DEXSORB® Treatment Of Surface Water For Gravity System

  Discover how a dual-vessel lead-lag media system achieved continuous non-detect levels for target legacy contaminants, treating over 250,000 gallons of surface water to support regulatory compliance and municipal drinking water goals.

• Pretreatment Systems Enable Complete And More Economical PFAS Solutions

  For operators looking to optimize their PFAS removal systems, controlling the presence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) offers an approach to minimizing operational costs due to granular activated carbon (GAC) reactivation and ion exchange media change-out.
• What Utilities Don't Know About GAC Reuse For PFAS

  For utilities building PFAS treatment systems, thermal reactivation of spent granular activated carbon (GAC) may sound like the obvious answer. However, service provider availability and location, specific media acceptance criteria including quantity thresholds, restrictions on GAC type and condition, and regulatory uncertainty can all determine whether reuse is a viable option.
• Microbial And Disinfection Byproducts Regulations: Paving The Way For Efficient Compliance

  Given the ongoing regulatory activity in the water industry, it’s hard to imagine another major drinking water rule on the horizon. But the U.S. EPA is planning revisions to the microbial and disinfection byproducts (MDBP) regulations.
• Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP): The Invisible Driver Of Biofouling In Water Systems

  A growing body of scientific evidence points to transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) as one of the most important, but frequently overlooked, drivers of biofouling in water systems. Understanding TEP may provide a new perspective on why biofilms develop so rapidly, why some treatment systems foul despite acceptable microbial counts, and why conventional control strategies often struggle to deliver lasting results.
• The Pros And Cons Of Pilot Testing For PFAS Removal

  Deploying uncustomized equipment for contaminant testing can skew critical operational data. Discover how precisely tailored small-scale testing isolates site-specific variables, protects long-term maintenance budgets, and ensures seamless regulatory compliance for full-scale water treatment facilities.

• Protecting The World's Most Essential Resource: How Utilities Can Navigate Growing Risks To Drinking Water Supply

  Protecting drinking water supply has become more complex, more urgent, and less predictable as utilities navigate a convergence of pressures, including climate variability, emerging contaminants, and accelerating population growth. Together, these trends are redefining what it means to deliver safe, reliable drinking water. Yet within this disruption lies a critical opportunity.
