WASTEWATER TREATMENT RESOURCES
-
Replacing DP transmitters with 80 GHz radar eliminates density errors, reduces maintenance, and simplifies installation — delivering safer, more reliable level measurement for modern wastewater systems.
-
In an industrial landscape increasingly shaped by lifecycle accountability, material traceability, and rising disposal costs, chromium recovery is not merely a technical alternative — it is a strategic upgrade, where wastewater can become a resource stream.
-
Collaborative digital twins streamline utility operations by integrating real-time data into a shared, intuitive environment. This approach enables precise pump optimization, efficient maintenance scheduling, and proactive network simulations to improve water quality and system resilience.
-
Transitioning to advanced purification methods like UV-hypochlorite oxidation allows municipalities to secure reliable, local water supplies. These strategies mitigate drought risks and protect coastal environments by transforming wastewater into a high-quality resource for reuse.
-
With the rise of water scarcity, environmental regulations, and corporate sustainability mandates, produced water treatment has become a strategic imperative for industries far beyond oil and gas. It is one of the fastest-growing segments in the water treatment industry, which has emerged as an amalgamation of environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, and technological innovation.

Wastewater treatment plants are facing a more challenging influent environment than ever before, making effective inlet screening a much higher priority. Extreme weather is driving bigger and more frequent peaking events heavily laden with plastics and other non-biodegradable debris, while modern waste stream challenges like flushable wipes, pharmaceuticals that bind to solids, fats, and oils that form fatbergs, and a growing load of non-dissolvable materials are overwhelming systems designed for a bygone era.

People around the globe are trying to figure out how to save, conserve, and reuse water in a variety of ways, including reusing treated sewage wastewater and removing valuable salts from seawater. But for all the clean water they may produce, those processes leave behind a type of liquid called brine. I’m working on getting the water out of that potential source, too.
