1. Introduction In the modern landscape of municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment, the electric valve actuator serves as the critical interface between the control room (SCADA) and the physical process. While the valve body itself—whether a gate, butterfly, plug, or ball valve—dictates the hydraulic characteristics of the system, the electric actuator determines the […]
Introduction Wisconsin’s wastewater infrastructure is defined by a unique combination of high-density urban treatment needs and significant industrial loading from the state’s robust food and paper processing sectors. The state operates under the regulatory oversight of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), which enforces some of the strictest phosphorus discharge limits in the United […]
Introduction Virginia’s wastewater infrastructure represents some of the most advanced treatment technology in the United States, driven largely by the stringent nutrient reduction mandates of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. With a growing population of over 8.7 million and a geography ranging from the tidal coastal plains to the mountainous Blue Ridge, the state’s engineering […]
Top Water and Wastewater Conferences 2024: Industry Insights and Networking Key Themes Shaping the 2024 Water and Wastewater Conferences The focus on emerging technologies in water treatment is paramount for the 2024 water and wastewater conferences. These technologies, including advanced filtration systems and real-time monitoring solutions, are best suited for municipalities aiming to enhance operational […]
Introduction: The State of Kansas Water Infrastructure Kansas presents a unique dichotomy in wastewater infrastructure, characterized by sophisticated, high-capacity biological nutrient removal (BNR) facilities in the rapid-growth corridors of Johnson County and Wichita, contrasted with hundreds of lagoon systems serving rural communities. For municipal consulting engineers and utility managers, the Kansas market is currently defined […]
Last Updated: October 2023 1. Introduction Louisiana’s wastewater infrastructure operates within one of the most hydro-geologically complex environments in the United States. Managing treatment capacity in a state defined by high water tables, subsidence, and significant industrial activity presents unique challenges for utility managers and consulting engineers. The state’s infrastructure is overseen by the Louisiana […]
1. Introduction Indiana’s wastewater infrastructure is currently undergoing one of the most significant transformation periods in the state’s history. Driven by the need to remediate Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) in river-adjacent cities and support the rapid suburban growth in the Indianapolis metropolitan area, the Hoosier state represents a robust market for engineering services and treatment […]
1. Introduction Nevada operates within one of the most challenging hydrological environments in the United States. As the nation’s driest state, the engineering focus of Nevada’s wastewater infrastructure is uniquely centered on advanced water reclamation and indirect potable reuse (IPR). Unlike many states where “disposal” is the primary goal, Nevada’s major facilities view effluent as […]
Table of Contents Introduction Recent Developments Top 20 Largest Treatment Plants Approved Budgets & Expansion Projects Regulatory & Compliance Landscape Technology Trends Directory of Facilities FAQ Introduction Oregon’s wastewater infrastructure represents a critical intersection of environmental stewardship and engineering resilience. Serving a population of approximately 4.2 million residents, the state’s network comprises over 250 permitted […]
Executive Summary: Arizona is a national leader in water reclamation and reuse. With the Colorado River shortage intensifying, the state is heavily investing in Advanced Water Purification (AWP) for Direct Potable Reuse (DPR). Current active capital projects exceed $1.5 billion, focusing on capacity expansion in the rapid-growth “Sun Corridor” and technological retrofits for aquifer recharge. […]
