Standards For Testing And Certifying Cured-In-Place Pipe
It is estimated that nearly 75,000 miles of wastewater and water pipelines have been lined with Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP), with nearly $3 billion spent annually on the trenchless renovation method, worldwide. Recognizing the growing use of CIPP and inability of CCTV inspection to accurately or consistently certify trenchless rehabilitation as defect-free, this paper chronicles the emergence of new guidelines to test, certify, and accept CIPP lining projects, using Focused Electrode Leak Location (FELL) inspection.

A Cost-Based Assessment Of Leading Grit Removal Systems
"How much grit is my grit removal system removing?” is becoming one of the more frequently asked questions at Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRFs) and wastewater treatment plants. The intrinsic problem of grit and its scouring activity means that efficient grit removal is fundamental for protecting and optimizing downstream WRRF treatment processes and equipment. Advancements in cutting-edge treatment technology, including membrane systems, and the critical need to maximize equipment investments places an even greater emphasis on effective grit removal.
