Introduction For municipal and industrial engineers, few instruments cause as much operational frustration as the humble pH/ORP analyzer. Despite being fundamental to process control—dictating coagulation efficiency, biological health, and disinfection compliance—these electrochemical sensors are notorious for drift, fouling, and frequent replacement requirements. In many wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), it is not uncommon to find up […]

1. INTRODUCTION The sound of a check valve slamming shut—resembling a sledgehammer striking the pipe—is more than a nuisance; it is an audible indicator of kinetic energy rapidly converting to pressure energy, potentially exceeding the structural limits of the piping system. For municipal and industrial engineers, the selection of check valves is the primary line […]
