WASTEWATER TREATMENT RESOURCES

• Iron Nanoparticles Can Help Treat Contaminated Water — Scientists Have Created Them Out Of Expired Supplements

  Researchers from Georgia Tech have developed an eco-friendly method to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles from expired over-the-counter iron supplements. This approach not only gives value to discarded products but also supports a more sustainable and circular method of production.

• Before You Choose A Wastewater Treatment Technology, Ask These 5 Questions

  When it comes to choosing a wastewater treatment strategy for a specific water issue, facility managers often start by asking themselves what the best technology is for addressing their contaminant. However, there are far more important questions that need to be answered first.

• Operational Resilience Through Temporary Water Reuse Solutions

  Temporary water reuse systems help industrial plants avoid costly downtime by maintaining treatment capabilities during maintenance, failure, or testing—offering fast deployment, flexibility, and permanent-quality results.

• The Enduring Value Of Ultrasonic Level Measurement In Water And Wastewater Level Applications

  Discover how using ultrasonic technology allows level and pump controllers to progress in ways that enhance both accuracy and usability — rather than remaining static.

• After You Own It: Cutting OpEx And Scaling Legacy Plants With Modern MBR Technology

  For private utility owners and operators, legacy infrastructure isn’t a sunk cost. It’s an opportunity. And with the right retrofit strategy, that aging wastewater treatment facility can become a stable, revenue-generating asset.

• What Private Utilities Need to Know About Nutrient Loading and Eutrophication

  For private utilities, discharging wastewater isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. If your facility serves a resort, a golf course, a residential community, or a mixed-use development, you’re likely discharging into smaller, localized water bodies (creeks, ponds, wetlands), not large rivers or oceans. And while these ecosystems are beautiful they’re also incredibly vulnerable to nutrient loading and eutrophication.

• How To Optimize Bioaugmentation Dosing To Enhance Wastewater Treatment Performance

  Wastewater treatment facilities across municipal and industrial sectors are increasingly turning to bioaugmentation as a powerful tool to enhance treatment performance and system reliability. This biological enhancement technique introduces specialized bacterial or archaeal cultures into treatment systems to accelerate the breakdown of specific pollutants, offering a targeted solution for challenging contamination issues.

• No Chlorine, No Contamination: A Cleaner Future For Wastewater Reuse

  As municipalities worldwide look to reuse water for agriculture, industry, and tertiary treatment such as filtration and disinfection prior to discharge or reuse for irrigation or industrial purposes, one inconvenient truth continues to lurk in the pipes: chlorine.

• Blower Overhaul 101: What's Involved And Why It's Essential

  Even the best-maintained blowers wear down. Timely overhauls prevent catastrophic failure, extend equipment life, and restore blower performance to “like new” condition—often at half the replacement cost.

• Turning Water Utility Data Into Action: The Power Of Modern Meter Data Management

  Smart meters, sensors, and operational systems generate a constant stream of information about water flow, pressure, consumption, and system performance. But data alone doesn't solve problems—it's the ability to understand and act on this information that drives real operational improvements.
