Membrane Cleaning Strategies: Extend Life and Reduce Downtime of Filtration Systems Membrane cleaning strategies for wastewater membranes that are vague or generic cost plants time and money; this guide gives operators and engineers practical, chemistry-specific tactics to cut unplanned downtime and extend membrane life. You will learn how to identify dominant foulants, set monitoring and […]
Sequencing Batch Reactor Best Practices: Design and Operational Tips for Operators If your plant struggles to hold nitrification, control solids, or keep energy costs down, this hands-on guide lays out sequencing batch reactor design best practices for operators and engineers who need actionable targets, not theory. You will get numeric design criteria (MLSS, SRT, cycle […]
Nitrification Optimization Strategies: Improving Stability and Effluent Quality Stable nitrification is often the difference between consistent permit compliance and repeated, expensive emergency fixes. This practical guide on nitrification process optimization for wastewater plants gives operators and engineers a prioritized playbook — from sensor QA/QC and monitoring to DO and SRT tuning, IFAS/MBBR retrofits, sidestream treatment, […]
Solids Dewatering Equipment Compared: Belt Presses, Centrifuges, and Screw Presses Choosing the right dewatering machine can make or break sludge handling costs and compliance; this solids dewatering equipment comparison cuts through vendor claims to show how belt presses, decanter centrifuges, and screw presses actually perform in the field. You will get practical, metric-driven guidance on […]
Membrane Filtration for Wastewater Reuse: Selecting the Right System for Your City When cities must stretch water supplies and meet tougher reuse rules, membrane filtration for wastewater reuse is a practical path, but choosing the right system is where projects stall. This guide gives municipal engineers and plant managers an engineering-first decision framework that links […]
Estimating the Cost of PFAS Removal Systems: Capital, O&M, and Lifecycle Factors Estimating the cost of pfas removal systems is rarely straightforward; influent concentrations, treatment goals, site footprint, and disposal pathways produce wide swings in capital and O&M demands. This guide gives municipal engineers and owners a repeatable framework to turn influent data into equipment […]
Ion Exchange for PFAS: Design Considerations and Operational Tips When regulatory limits fall into the low parts-per-trillion range, ion exchange pfas removal is often the pragmatic choice for municipal systems and remediation sites. This guide gives engineers and operators the design and operational detail they need — resin selection, pretreatment, pilot testing, sizing calculations, regeneration […]
Granular activated carbon pfas removal remains one of the most deployed treatment options for municipal systems, but field performance and lifecycle costs vary widely depending on source water and PFAS speciation. This article gives practical, evidence based guidance for engineers and operators on what to expect from GAC in real systems, how to size and […]
Municipal utilities face a narrow window to set credible PFAS monitoring before steady regulation and public scrutiny force expensive retrofits; this practical guide to pfas testing methods for municipalities focuses on what to specify in contracts, how to prevent field and lab contamination, and how to turn data into treatment decisions. It compares targeted LC-MS/MS […]
If you are responsible for treating municipal or industrial supplies and need to know how to remove pfas from water, this guide cuts through vendor claims and gives practical, defensible options. It presents a decision framework tying PFAS chemistry and influent concentrations to proven treatment trains, including granular activated carbon, anion exchange, and membranes, and […]
