CONTAMINANT REMOVAL RESOURCES

Ion Exchange (IX) Systems
Ion exchange (IX) is a tried-and-true method of removing metals and other inorganic compounds from water. Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, selenium, radionuclides, and zinc are just a few examples of the compounds that our ion exchange systems have removed from water.
Ozone And PFAS: The Overlooked Tool In A National Water Crisis

Ozone is a vital pre-treatment for PFAS mitigation. It oxidizes precursors and co-contaminants, significantly extending the service life of downstream GAC and membrane systems.
Ozone Vs. UV-AOP: Choosing The Right Path For Advanced Water Treatment

Ozone and UV-AOP each offer powerful contaminant removal for drinking water, wastewater, and reuse applications. Their unique strengths—and potential synergy—help utilities meet diverse treatment goals efficiently.
AEC System Proven Effective For Chloride Removal

In two bench-scale tests, a new technology effectively removed up to 99% of chlorides and 97% of total dissolved solids in a single pass. This solution offers a commercially viable alternative to traditional treatment methods.
What Are Legionella Log Books And Why Are They Important?

Implementing and managing a Legionella control regime can sometimes seem daunting and complex. Invariably, a lot of resources, time, and effort are needed to achieve the required standard and provide assurance to senior management and auditors that controls are effective and those that are not are being managed and rectified appropriately.
PFAS Policy In 2025: Why It's Time To Go Beyond Remediation

The most common techniques for disposing of PFAS may no longer be good enough.
5 Misconceptions About PFAS Removal Technologies

This article will explore five common misconceptions about GAC and IX technologies for PFAS removal, helping utilities choose effective, site-specific treatment strategies for contaminated drinking water.
The Uneven Fight Against PFAS In Rural vs. Urban Water Systems

Drinking water systems across America face a mounting PFAS threat with starkly different capacities to respond. Large urban utilities typically have ample resources to detect and remove these persistent chemicals from water supplies, while small rural systems operate with tight budgets, skeleton crews, and minimal technical support.
Why A Temporary Water Treatment System Might Be Your Best Investment

It is critical to understand the limitations of permanent installations and how a temporary water treatment system can make sound logistical and financial sense.
Chromium In Drinking Water: New Regulations In California And Engineering Challenges

Among other contaminant concerns, drinking water managers in the Golden State are being held to tighter standards on chromium.

Pressure Filters
Loprest pressure filters can be provided in horizontal or vertical vessel configurations for flow rates from 50 to 5,000 GPM. The Loprest multi-cell pressure filter design produces its own backwash water, so there is no need for a separate treated water source and pumping system. The Loprest filter design has been optimized over many years for reliable, efficient, economical operation. All Loprest treatment systems are operated by a fully automated control package.
TOC Reduction
NeoTech Aqua Solutions provides the most efficient and cost-effective UV systems for destroying Total Organic Carbons (TOC’s) in water. Whether your destroying NDMA, 1,4-dioxane, TCE, MTBE, urea, endocrine disruptors or other organics, only NeoTech Aqua provides ultraviolet TOC reduction with a treatment chamber optimized for low pressure mercury lamps. As a result, NeoTech Aqua’s UV systems achieve a three times greater TOC reduction per kilowatt compared to standard UV systems, reducing our clients’ costs and energy consumption. In addition to efficiently generating ample 185 nm UV for TOC reduction, NeoTech Aqua’s TOC reduction systems also generate significant levels of 254 nm UV which serve as a powerful disinfectant, providing you both TOC-free and organism-free product water.
Carbon Exchange Services By TIGG
At some point, activated carbon or other process media will become spent or exhausted, so fresh media is always crucial for achieving the utmost quality in environmental remediation, wastewater reclamation, industrial processing, and other applications. Proper equipment service and timely carbon exchange are always crucial for optimal treatment performance.
Disinfection: TCL Total Chlorine Analyzer
Total chlorine measurement is essential in the control of chlorine in water before its return to the environment in a wide range of industrial applications including desalination. It also provides accurate reporting to the EPA about that control. To meet EPA requirements, the instrument must be reliable for long periods of time and monitor down to 500 ppb. The Rosemount Total Chlorine Measurement system from Emerson meets and exceeds all requirements while saving money through the use of low-cost reagents.
LC-MS Analysis Of PFAS Compounds In EPA Methods 537.1, 533 And 8327
The Ascentis Express PFAS HPLC column is designed for the separation of novel and legacy PFAS as per recent EPA methods. A specific PFAS delay column prevents background PFAS contamination from interfering with sample results in quantitative LC-MS methods.
