DRINKING WATER FILTRATION RESOURCES

• PVDF Ban: The Vitally Needed Catalyst For Accelerating Ceramic Membrane Adoption

  As Europe edges closer to regulating the production of PVDF membranes — key contributors to the toxic PFAS, 'forever chemicals' — the water industry finds itself at a critical crossroads.

• The Benefits Of Pretreatment Prior To Bulk Media Filtration Of PFAS

  Advantages include enhanced media bed life, reduced waste, minimized downtime, and improved overall system performance.
• Rapid Small-Scale Column Tests For PFAS Treatment Evaluation

  While pilot columns provide the most accurate estimations for predicting full-scale PFAS treatment performance by GAC or IX resin, they can be costly and time-consuming. Rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs) offer significant advantages over pilot columns, including less time, lower costs, less media, smaller sample volume, and faster data turnaround.

• Simple Turbidity Meter Saves Water Treatment Plant Time And Expense

  The City of Dallas’ Water Treatment Plant in Oregon solved its maintenance issues and improved efficiency by replacing old analyzers with Blue-White APNTU Online Turbidity Analyzers, which are easy to clean, calibrate, and install.

• PFAS Technology Options Provide Water Treatment Solutions

  Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) continue to dominate the conversation as an emerging contaminant of concern due to their potential for adverse human health effects and continued regulation. This group of chemicals can be found in a wide variety of consumer products and drinking water.
• AqueoUS Vets® Custom GAC Systems Offer Comprehensive Solution For PFAS And VOC Compound Removal For Golden State Water Company

  Serving California for more than 90 years, Golden State Water Company (GSWC) provides water service to more than 1 million customers in over 80 communities, including the City of Norwalk.

• Aqueous Vets® Quick Response Keeps Critical Stoneridge Well In Service In Northern California

  Zone 7 Water Agency is a water wholesaler in Northern California that serves more than a quarter million residents. Blending water from both surface and groundwater sources has enabled Zone 7 to address many emerging contaminant concerns over the past several years.

• Cottage Grove Municipal Treatment System Removes PFAS Compounds From Well Water Using Granular Activated Carbon

  Located in the Twin Cities metro area, the city of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, needed to increase the capacity of its drinking water system. To meet demands for compliant water two additional wells were equipped with treatment systems designed to reduce PFAS. The city contracted consulting firm Stantec to provide engineering services for the design, during procurement, construction of the facilities and site infrastructure for the dual media granulated activated carbon (GAC) and/or Ion Exchange (IX) equipment systems.

• Tackling The Challenges Of Desalination For Water Crisis Solutions

  Desalination plants across the globe are turning seawater into fresh drinking water. Yet this solution is not as simple or flawless as it sounds. The process has its own set of hurdles, such as high costs and environmental impacts. So what makes us keep chasing after desalination despite the challenges?
