Because recent advances in plastic materials and processing have led to a new generation of plastic piping systems to handle challenging water and chemical environments, it is important to understand why some older piping choices might no longer be the best bet. Here are some key reasons to consider new plastic-piping choices for municipal and industrial water/wastewater applications in a whole new light.

For many utilities, large and small, hang-ups over new and innovative technology for infrastructure management often boil down to “How are we going to implement (or pay for) all of that?” Fortunately, a new approach to integrating existing GIS and asset data, Internet of Things (IoT) real-time data collection, powerful analytical software, and more is providing solutions to turn tough challenges into manageable solutions that are accessible on a subscription basis.

The Roaring Fork Water & Sanitation District WWTP receives residential activated sludge at an ultimate site capacity of 1 MGD. Prior to the 2009 installation of the Duperon FlexRake Low Flow, the plant had operated with a manually-raked bar screen.

A water reclamation facility in Carol Stream, Illinois, optimized its equipment layout using Blue-White’s FLEXFLO® M2 metering pumps and CHEM-FEED® wall mount systems, improving functionality, reducing piping complexity, and saving space for a more efficient operation.

Ultrafiltration (UF) has been proven a key in wastewater reuse, but operators have struggled to keep up with repairs or having to replace older hollow-fiber membranes. Recent advancements in manufacturing have produced more durable membranes that accomplish the task at a lower cost.

An automotive parts manufacturer producing millions of parts per year was seeking to remove cutting fluid/oil and suspended solids from water used in its parts-washing process to enable water recycling and reuse in the parts washer. Successful lab testing and trials enabled the system integrator to win the project and install full-scale systems utilizing PPG’s UF membrane element. Read the full case study to learn more.

Visitors to the Japanese Gardens above the City of Los Angeles’ Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant (DCT Water Reclamation Plant) become more tranquil as they stroll along the walkways.

Learn how common wastewater technologies are being leveraged in decentralized systems and how they can open opportunities for innovation and better water management in the face of drought.

When one considers all the bell joints in a water distribution or wastewater collection system — caulk-joint or rubber-joint — and all the stresses to which they are subjected, it is a wonder there are not more leaks. Fortunately, bell-joint-leak clamps provide a reliable and relatively easy-to-install solution — if they are properly specified and installed. Here are some key points to consider when trying to remedy bell-joint leaks.

There are many different joints that can be found on waterworks pipeline components. This paper focuses on the three most common joints.

This application profile focuses on two test sites with different treatment requirements and describes how Aqua-Aerobic Systems’ OptiFiber® pile cloth media filtration was used at both sites to address the removal of harmful constituents from refinery wastewater.

The raw sewage entering a wastewater treatment plant comes from a variety of sources. In addition to effluent from domestic users, effluent from industrial users and storm water run off can be present.

Excess ammonia in receiving waters causes algal blooms that decrease oxygen levels. For this reason, many wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) must limit ammonia in discharge. Mike Rousey, Hach Company

Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems are critical for industries where hygiene and contamination control are mandatory—such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical manufacturing. These systems automate cleaning through validated, programmed steps that ensure compliance with stringent safety and quality standards. This application note explores the challenges of CIP operations and demonstrates how Pulsafeeder’s NextStep pump technology addresses these challenges with precision, reliability, and cost efficiency.

This application note from Aqua-Aerobic Systems highlights the effectiveness of the AquaStorm® Cloth Media Filter as a flexible, compact, and highly efficient solution for Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) and Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) events.

FLEX-TEND® flexible expansion joints are designed to protect structures and pipelines from differential movement whether this movement is earthquake induced or the gradual motion of soil subsidence. This bulletin offers a concise listing and discussion of the important features and materials of the double and single ball assemblies.

We arm farmers with mission-critical water data to help enhance crop yield and taste. KETOS delivers valuable insights for fluctuations in deficiency and toxicity.

Pulsafeeder has secured a significant order for its NextStep series of stepper motor-driven metering pumps, specifically for use in advanced Reverse Osmosis (RO) applications. This deployment underscores the growing demand for precision chemical dosing in high-performance water treatment systems. The order includes NextStep NS1 and NS9 models, each selected for their unique capabilities in high-pressure and low-pressure RO environments.
