1) INTRODUCTION One of the most critical and permanent decisions a process engineer will make during facility design is selecting the core filtration technology and its corresponding original equipment manufacturer (OEM). A common specification mistake in municipal and industrial treatment is sole-sourcing a proprietary technology without a rigid analysis of 20-year lifecycle costs, replacement part […]

INTRODUCTION One of the most critical and costly missteps in municipal and industrial treatment design is misapplying a separation technology. When facing stringent effluent limits, shifting source water quality, or aggressive footprint constraints, engineers must ask: Water Filtration Types Compared: Which Technology Is Right? Specifying an ultrafiltration membrane where a simple automatic strainer would suffice […]

Introduction to Flocculation Systems For municipal and industrial treatment plant engineers, the flocculation basin is often where the battle for water quality is won or lost. While the chemical dosing pumps get the attention for “precision,” the physical flocculators determine whether those chemicals actually perform. A startling industry reality is that poor mixing energy distribution […]
