Next-Gen Submersible Solids Handling Pump Helps Protect Pasadena, Texas

A submersible solids handling pump featuring a semi-open impeller and self-cleaning cutter plate solved a severe clogging issue. Operating without a single clog for over six months, the technology delivered "100% uptime" and freed up staff for other vital maintenance.
Resolving Odor Complaints With Targeted Solutions Restore Community Confidence

The South Dearborn Regional Sewer District in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, provides regional wastewater treatment services for three cities and an international distillery. The 6 mgd treatment plant is located in an area of high population growth and is surrounded by many retail operations and other commercial developments. In addition, a heavily traveled state highway runs by the treatment plant.
3 Utilities Turning Wastewater Into Opportunity With Advanced Treatment And Reuse

Read about three of the most pressing wastewater challenges utilities face today and how Stratmoor Hills, Key West Resort Utilities, and Beijing Water Group are using advanced treatment and reuse to overcome them.
Impact Of Improved Actuation On Filter Performance

A water filtration treatment plant was built in 1950, pneumatic actuators were installed on all of the filter control valves. The pneumatic actuators were not always reliable. Air compressor problems limited the availability of the pneumatics to control the filter valves.
Actuators On Aeration Blower Valves Improve Dissolved Oxygen And Increase Overall Process Stability

Discover how installing Beck electric actuators on the aeration blower control valves has improved process stability and plant operations for a South Florida treatment plant.
Valve Upgrades Reduce The Number Of Corrective Work Orders By 99%

A water treatment plant was using conventional electric actuators on valves across the facility, including the modulating Filter Effluent applications. A history of actuator problems prompted plant personnel to consider replacements.
Sludge Valve Upgrades Reduce The Number Of Corrective Work Orders

Read about one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the world that recently finished a project for upgrading its sludge valve actuators.
Key West Resort Utilities Maximizes Reuse And Nutrient Recovery

Water scarcity poses unique challenges to KW Resort Utilities Corp. (KWRU), the utility firm that provides wastewater management, wastewater recovery, and wastewater treatment in the region. KWRU began operation in the late 1960s and has worked hard over the decades to keep up with wastewater needs as population and tourism have boomed, spurred by land reclamation and development.
A Blueprint For Smart Water Management

Ferrán Bosch, Senior Business Development Manager Xylem Vue at Xylem, speaks with Koldo Urkullu, Director of Operations and Asset Management at CABB, about how a utility is innovating to meet volatile weather patterns head-on.
Huber Unveils Bigger Dewatering Tech And Breakthrough Energy Recovery At WEFTEC 2025

Torch Combustion TOC/TN Analyzer
Tekmar’s newest addition to the TOC analyzer product line, the Torch, utilizes a patent Static Pressure Concentration (SPC) for the analysis of TOC/TN using high temperature combustion.
PetroSorb™ Activated Carbons For Oil And Gas Processing
As refinery operations are forced to generate more product output from marginal raw material sources with aging equipment, the requirement to maintain an acceptable quality of processing chemicals becomes more difficult. Activated carbon used in a fixed bed can continuously treat process chemicals, either in full or in a partial treatment stream to restore their properties in line with virgin product. This greatly enhances the economy of the production process and permits the conversion of more heavily contaminated resources that were previously difficult to exploit.
Aqua Guard® UltraClean Self-Cleaning Moving Media Channel Screen
The Aqua Guard® UltraClean™ represents the next generation of in-channel fine screening, outperforming the original design in side-by-side capture rate tests by over 50%. This superior performance comes from a series of patent-pending improvements in the “head” of the Aqua Guard® UltraClean™ screen, each drawn from over 30 years of experience with the classic Aqua Guard® platform. Designed with the operator in mind, the Aqua Guard® UltraClean™ also offers easier access to key areas of the screen such as the brush, which has been reengineered to reduce routine maintenance by up to 75% over the original version. The Aqua Guard® UltraClean™ technology is available both on new screens, and as a new “head” retrofit for existing Aqua Guard® element screens.
Determination Of Hexanal In Foods Utilizing Dynamic Headspace
Hexanal is one of many well-documented aromatic components that contribute to flavor and aroma in common consumer food products containing omega-6 fatty acids. Hexanal content is also used to measure the oxidative status of foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids.
PRI-TECH® Peroxide Regenerated Iron Technology
PRI-TECH® is a combination treatment that integrates iron salts with hydrogen peroxide in a unique and synergistic fashion. The results are both cost savings and treatment enhancement compared to using iron salts alone.
