WASTEWATER TREATMENT RESOURCES

• How Industrial Facilities Are Rethinking Wastewater Treatment And Water Reuse As Discharge Rules And Operating Costs Tighten

  Industrial facilities are under pressure to reduce freshwater consumption, control wastewater discharge costs, and maintain reliable production. Water reuse can help address all three concerns, but recovering water does not automatically make a facility more efficient.

• Predicting Pump Ragging Before The Overflow: What Lift-Station Sensing Gets Right

  Rags and wipes don’t seize a pump overnight they load it gradually, and the sensors already in the station can see it coming days ahead. The stations that avoid overflows aren’t the ones with the most instruments; they’re the ones that read the right signals together.

• El Niño Intensifies: Collection Systems Should Prepare Now

  A strengthening El Niño raises the stakes for sewer and stormwater networks, making monitoring of rainfall, level, and flow before the first major storm a matter of readiness rather than reaction.

• Grinding Vs. Screening: How To Select The Best Process For Your Application

  Choosing between grinding and screening requires evaluating site constraints, wastewater composition, and downstream treatment needs to balance solids removal, equipment protection, maintenance, and cost.

• What Does Calibration Actually Mean For Your Water Quality Instrument?

  Calibration is not one process. Its meaning shifts across colorimetric, electrochemical, and amperometric instruments, and applying the wrong expectation to the wrong one can cost time, compliance standing, and accuracy.

• Virginia Beach Shuts The Door On Tidal Flooding

  When heavy rain meets high tide, tidal creeks have no room left to drain. Engineered storage, built from sealed gates and advance pumping, tests a different answer to coastal flooding.

• Solutions For Safe Drinking Water

  Water quality depends on keeping distribution lines moving and monitored. Automatic flushing, connected sampling, pressure management, and leak detection work best together, with two municipal deployments showing the results.

• Rethinking Solids Handling In Wastewater Pumps: Oblique Cone Impeller Geometry

  Fibrous, flushable-laden wastewater has outpaced conventional impeller design. Eliminating exposed leading edges and separating solids alignment from energy transfer offers a clog-resistant path that avoids maceration and preserves efficiency.

• Chloramination: Practical Strategies For Reliable Water Quality

  Monochloramine's stability advantage in complex distribution systems depends on precise chemistry and early detection of nitrification, with calibration and documentation standing up to regulatory review.

• Turning Dairy Processing Residuals Into Resources For Healthier Soils

  The food system depends on productive soil, yet manufacturing leaves behind organic materials that never reach a retail package. For dairy manufacturers, one of those materials is dissolved air flotation sludge, commonly called DAF sludge. When its composition, treatment, and receiving site are properly evaluated, this residual can become a resource for nutrient recovery and soil improvement.
