Introduction One of the most persistent challenges in water and wastewater treatment design is the “black box” mentality regarding filtration. Engineers often focus heavily on media selection—anthracite size, sand uniformity coefficients, or GAC iodine numbers—while underestimating the critical mechanical and hydraulic interfaces that support that media. However, industry data suggests that over 70% of catastrophic […]

Introduction In municipal water distribution and industrial fluid handling, the “valve selection paradox” is a frequent challenge for consulting engineers: the most expensive valve upfront is often the cheapest over 20 years, yet the wrong hydraulic application can destroy even the highest-quality equipment in weeks. A surprising statistic from hydraulic efficiency studies suggests that up […]
