• A Market On Edge: PVDF's Uncertain Future And The Ceramic Alternative

  By classifying PVDF as a PFAS “forever chemical” and including it under the proposed restriction, the EU has introduced the prospect of a multi-billion-dollar technology shift. While the outcome will depend on the final derogation periods granted, the proposal creates a defined regulatory horizon for PVDF membranes and forces the global water industry to evaluate alternatives.
• Solving The World's Microplastics Problem: 4 Solutions Cities And States Are Trying After Global Treaty Talks Collapsed

  Microplastics seem to be everywhere — in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. Countries have tried for the past few years to write a global plastics treaty that might reduce human exposure, but the latest negotiations collapsed in August 2025. While U.S. and global solutions seem far off, policies to limit harm from microplastics are gaining traction at the state and local levels.

• Droughts Don't Just Dry Up Water — They Drain Livelihoods And Weaken Local Economies

  Droughts hit utilities and agriculture hardest. Shrinking water supplies wilt crops and strain water providers. But the impact extends far beyond them.
• Unlocking The Potential Of Digital Pressure Transmitters

  Traditional analog devices are increasingly being replaced by digital solutions, and communication protocols like CANopen are playing a key role in this transition. This shift calls for engineers to assess whether digital pressure transmitters are the best fit for their specific applications.
• Iron Nanoparticles Can Help Treat Contaminated Water — Scientists Have Created Them Out Of Expired Supplements

  Researchers from Georgia Tech have developed an eco-friendly method to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles from expired over-the-counter iron supplements. This approach not only gives value to discarded products but also supports a more sustainable and circular method of production.
• 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.
• The Future Of Hydroelectric Power: Balancing Generation With Environmental Impact

  As global climate goals and the environmental impact of hydroelectric systems draw increased attention, the conversation for energy leaders and water resource professionals has shifted from expansion to optimization, where smarter infrastructure and adaptive strategies must work together to reduce harm without compromising output.
• Unlocking Efficiency: The Advantages Of Peristaltic Pumps

  Peristaltic pumps have emerged as a revolutionary solution in industrial pumping, offering a myriad of benefits over traditional pump technologies. Fundamental to these pumps is a simple yet ingenious component: the hose. By using advanced hose designs, these pumps can significantly increase longevity and decrease operational costs. Let's explore how these innovative pumps are reshaping industrial pumping and driving efficiency across a range of applications.
• How Industry Is Solving Its Water Supply Crisis

  The business case for industrial water reuse has fundamentally shifted. Companies once evaluated these systems against environmental goals or regulatory compliance costs. Today, they're measuring them against operational risk and supply security — a calculation that increasingly favors reuse regardless of sustainability credentials.
• How Advanced Biological Technologies Overcome Complex Wastewater Treatment Challenges In The Oil And Gas Sector

  This white paper explores how advanced biological technologies — including MBBR, IFAS, SBR, and MBR systems — are transforming wastewater management in this sector.
