The authoritative resource for consulting engineers, utility managers, and municipal decision-makers tracking Kentucky’s wastewater infrastructure landscape. 1. Introduction Kentucky’s wastewater infrastructure represents a complex dichotomy between the advanced, high-capacity systems of the “Golden Triangle” (Louisville, Lexington, and Northern Kentucky) and the decentralized challenges of the Appalachian and rural western regions. The Commonwealth manages a robust […]

Introduction: The State of Washington’s Wastewater Infrastructure Washington State operates one of the most environmentally scrutinized wastewater sectors in the United States, largely driven by the delicate ecosystem of the Puget Sound and the Columbia River basin. The state manages approximately 300 public wastewater treatment plants, serving a population of nearly 8 million. The infrastructure […]

The authoritative resource for consulting engineers, utility managers, and infrastructure professionals tracking Georgia’s water reclamation sector. 1. Introduction: Georgia’s Water Reclamation Landscape Georgia’s wastewater infrastructure is defined by a unique combination of rapid metropolitan growth, strict regulatory requirements due to interstate water sharing (the Tri-State Water Wars), and a diverse geography ranging from the Appalachian […]

Introduction In the hydraulic architecture of municipal and industrial water systems, strainers function as the primary defensive barrier for critical downstream assets. While often overshadowed by dynamic components such as pumps and control valves, the strainer is the sentinel that prevents catastrophic failure caused by entrained solids, scale, biofilm, and debris. For consulting engineers, plant […]

Introduction In the realm of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, sludge management typically accounts for 30% to 50% of a plant’s total operating costs. The efficacy of the dewatering process is the linchpin of this economic equation. While centrifuges and screw presses have gained market share in recent decades, the belt filter press (BFP) remains […]

Introduction In the complex hydraulic landscape of municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment, the peristaltic pump—often referred to as a hose pump or tube pump—occupies a critical niche. Unlike centrifugal pumps that rely on kinetic energy, or other positive displacement pumps that utilize rotors, gears, or pistons, the peristaltic pump operates on the principle […]
