WASTEWATER TREATMENT RESOURCES

• AFC SEMPER® Remote Pressure Monitors Provide Real-Time Insight To Miami Beach Water

  Over the past year, the Water Division of the city of Miami Beach, Florida, has seen its use of AMERICAN Flow Control SEMPER Remote Pressure Monitors (RPM) grow. 

• Wastewater Monitoring Took Off During The COVID-19 Pandemic — And Here’s How It Could Help Head Off Future Outbreaks

  A community’s sewage holds clues about its COVID-19 burden. Over the course of the pandemic, wastewater surveillance has become an increasingly popular way to try to understand local infection trends.

• How IoT Could Open The Floodgates To Innovative Water Management Projects

  As the water industry continues to adopt more high-tech and data-centric solutions, it is important to consider the communications infrastructure that supports such investments

• Calling On Utilities To Combat Legionella

  The risk level linked to delivered drinking water from municipal utilities is very small, even if some high-profile examples of failure (see Flint, MI) have degraded public confidence to a degree. Our treatment professionals usually hit their targets, so the onus then shifts to the research and guidance that determines the safe level of various constituents through U.S. EPA protocols. But there is one contaminant that rulemaking hasn’t quite caught up to and which is downright deadly — Legionella pneumophila.

• 4 Keys To Adopting Industry 4.0 At Your Water Processing Facility

  As the water industry continues to walk the road of digital transformation, here’s a step-by-step guide to help utilities keep pace.

• Biotechnology Innovations Extend Life, Resilience Of Wastewater Infrastructure

  In the daily rush to ensure that all the mechanical, electrical, and operational procedures are followed — monitoring inflow volumes and organic/nutrient loads; servicing and maintaining motors, pumps, and other electrical and mechanical equipment; maintaining chemical treatments to ensure effluent compliance — it is too easily forgotten that wastewater treatment is primarily a biological process.

• Water Replenishment District Of Southern California Incorporate Direct-Coupling Of Toray UF To Toray RO For High Recovery and Energy Savings

  Through the Water Independence Now program, WRD aims to provide 4 million residents in the Los Angeles region with an entirely local sustainable groundwater supply, eliminating its dependence on 25,000 AFY of imported water from the Colorado River and Northern California.

• Treated Municipal Sewage Achieves High-Quality Discharge Values With Toray MBR Technology

  Due to population growth in recent years, Sanessol, the concessionaire responsible for the water supply and sewage treatment of Mirassol and part of Igua Saneamento Group, decided to use a state of the art technology for their new WWTP, Fartura.

• MBR Modules Help Achieve Sustainable Management Of Wastewater On Vancouver Island
