WASTEWATER TREATMENT RESOURCES

• How Does Reuse Fit Into Your Water Management Strategy?

  Whether an area is urban or rural, large or small, its water and wastewater treatment utilities face pressures ranging from supply scarcity and increasing operational costs to more stringent regulatory guidelines. These pressures have combined in recent years to shift the conversation around potable water reuse from a potential option to an increasingly important water management strategy.

• North America's Industrial Strainer Challenge: Unpredictable Solids Loading

  Managing changing solids loading, unpredictable debris, and increasingly variable water sources can make the selection between conventional basket strainers and automatic scraper strainers increasingly significant.

• A Water-Native Solution For Renewable Natural Gas CO2 Emissions

  Capturing and storing that CO2 can offer RNG-producing wastewater treatment plants an additional resource recovery pathway — and revenue stream — through a new technology that integrates carbon capture and storage with water.

• Renting Or Buying Aeration Equipment: A Decision Framework

  Project duration, available capital, and operational risk can help wastewater facilities determine whether renting or purchasing an aeration blower is the better fit.

• Innovative Uses Of Pile Cloth Media Filtration: Strengthening Primary And Wet Weather Treatment Resilience

  Pile cloth media filtration is expanding beyond tertiary treatment, helping utilities manage primary treatment and wet weather flows while reducing energy, space, and capital needs.

• That Color Isn't Right – What Went Wrong?

  Chemical interferences during water testing can hide critical corrosion issues and fuel bacterial growth. Understanding colorimetric chemistry helps operators accurately identify testing anomalies, correct pH conditions, and protect cooling systems from bio-fouling.

• Managing Growth Under Water Constraints: What Utilities Can Learn From Industrial Water Users

  As communities and industries compete for finite water supplies, utilities are looking for strategies that support economic growth while reducing pressure on existing resources.
• How To Intensify Phosphorus Removal While Reducing Costs And Footprint

  Ballasted clarification provides intensified phosphorus removal with a smaller footprint, lower chemical and water consumption, and flexible retrofit options for wastewater treatment plants.

• Meeting Stringent Nutrient Limits With Gravity-Fed Biofiltration

  Gravity-fed biofiltration helps wastewater plants meet stringent nutrient limits while minimizing energy use, simplifying operations, and providing durable, adaptable tertiary treatment.

• Is Wastewater-Derived Bioplastic Utility-Ready?

  For years, researchers focused on a basic question: Can mixed microbial cultures use real wastewater or sludge-derived carbon to accumulate polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) inside their cells? Recent evidence has strengthened the answer.
