The Role Of Real-Time Data In Sewer Inspection

With real-time data, calculations can be done automatically, numbers are always where you need them, and manual data entry is limited or completely unnecessary.

Which Gate Valve Is Best For Today's Waterworks Systems?

Outdated specifications can sometimes lead to confusion regarding which gate valve should be used. Understanding how the standards have evolved and why can help utilities understand the source of this confusion. 

Why Municipalities Can't Afford To Do What They've Always Done, Choose Closed Vessel UV

Ultraviolet disinfection is now a standard feature in most wastewater treatment systems. UV has also been embraced by the drinking water community as an effective barrier against chlorine tolerant organisms such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. The technology is widely favored in wastewater treatment due to its non-chemical nature, the fact that no subsequent dechlorination process is required and its ability to be unselective in disinfection performance.

A Wastewater Solution With Low Capital Costs

Along the Indian River Lagoon adjacent to Vero Beach, Florida, both residents and government officials were becoming increasingly concerned about excessive nutrient loads and pollution.

Stepping Up To Smart Aeration

According to the U.S. EPA, municipal water and wastewater treatment systems account for 30 to 40 percent of the total energy used by municipalities in the United States. In wastewater treatment, the biggest chunk of this energy consumption comes from aeration. Within a typical WWTP, the aeration equipment used to maintain the required dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the activated sludge process can account for as much as 60 percent of the total plant energy use (Source: EPA.gov). As municipalities and plant operators look for ways to minimize energy use and contain operating costs, aeration is a natural area of focus.

Canada's Largest Bypass Project Lands At Canada's Largest Airport

Canada’s Region of Peel is a permanent home to more than 1 million people and a temporary stopover for another 20 million air travelers who pass through Toronto Pearson Airport each year.

Washer Compactor Chute Extends 30ft Vertically, Delivers Dry Screenings Up Multiple Floors Without Additional Components

The West Bay County WWTP, rated for 10 MGD and seeing an average flow of 4.5-6 MGD; prior to the installation of the Duperon® Washer Compactor, the plant collected approximately 20 yards of debris each week.

Global Approach To Wet Weather Issues: Key Steps To An Improved Water Quality

Wet Weather issues have evolved over the last generation. From an environmental side issue twenty years ago, they have gained the forefront of environmental concerns. This paper will present the key steps to achieve a global approach to Wet Weather issues. Each of the best management practices available have been ranked and reduced to critical steps that can be implemented sequentially in order to achieve an optimized global approach to wet weather issues.

Case Study: Royal Environmental Systems And Water Tectonics Design State-Of-The-Art Stormwater Treatment System Located 20 miles east of Seattle, WA, Redmond is home to 50,000 residents and many high-tech and biomedical companies, including Microsoft. Redmond’s downtown drainage area is dominated by commercial, industrial, and roadway areas, with typical surface pavement contaminants such as metals, nutrients, and sediments. To help prevent stormwater runoff from harming local waterways, the city developed stringent stormwater regulations and sought a permanent stormwater treatment system that exceeded existing environmental guidelines

Reducing And Reusing Water In Steel Manufacturing

The art of manufacturing steel for industries is well over 100 years old. Within this time, the steel business has fulfilled consumer needs, including construction, transportation, and manufacturing. The steel manufacturing process is quite intensive as it requires a lot of water to cool down the application. Steel plants constantly look for strategies that can help sustain the steel for a longer time by efficiently improving water and energy consumption.

Reduced Bore Electromagnetic Flowmeter

Being able to accurately measure both the quantity and rate of water passing through a water distribution system is crucial to gain an informed understanding of overall efficiency. As such, achieving a measurement that is exact as possible can have a significant impact on key areas. This includes supply planning, maintenance, resource deployment, leakage detection and the overall environment.

An Ideal Aeration System For Aquaculture Corporations

Successful aquaculture corporations know that there are many variables that need to be accounted for in order for the bottom line to be “in the black”, let alone grow annually by 10-20%.

SensyMaster Thermal Mass Flowmeter

SensyMaster helps to improve the operating costs of the most cost intensive process in sewage plants: Aeration. High-measuring performance and state of the art technology helps customers increase plant efficiency.

Dosing Of Sodium Hypochlorite Solution For Drinking Water Disinfection

A water purveyor was in urgent need of a chemically resistant flow instrumentation with a long life of service that allowed reliable and long-term stable dosing of the sodium hypochlorite solution.

Optimizing Brine Flow In A Geothermal Power Plant

Different flow meter technologies were used in this geothermal power plant to monitor and measure brine. However, these traditional technologies failed. That’s where Panametrics PT900 Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter was able to help.
