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 Missouri sits at the confluence of the nation’s two largest rivers—the Mississippi and the Missouri—making water quality management a critical priority for the state. The wastewater infrastructure landscape in Missouri is characterized by a dichotomy between massive metropolitan districts in St. Louis and Kansas City and a vast network of smaller municipal and rural […]

1. Introduction Tennessee’s wastewater infrastructure landscape is currently undergoing its most significant transformation in decades, driven by rapid population growth in the Nashville-Murfreesboro corridor and massive consent decree-driven overhauls in Memphis, Chattanooga, and Nashville. The state operates under the regulatory oversight of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), managing a network of over […]

Introduction Pennsylvania’s wastewater infrastructure represents one of the most complex and historic networks in the United States. With a unique topography that spans the Delaware, Susquehanna, and Ohio River basins, the Commonwealth manages a vast array of treatment facilities ranging from massive metropolitan plants in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to critical rural lagoons. Currently, Pennsylvania faces […]

Introduction to Valve Specification in Municipal Infrastructure In municipal water and wastewater infrastructure, valves typically represent less than 5% of the capital expenditure (CAPEX) of a treatment plant or collection system. However, industry reliability data suggests that valve failures, leakage, and actuation issues can account for up to 60% of the unscheduled maintenance operational expenditure […]

Introduction to Split Case Pumps in Water and Wastewater Infrastructure In the hierarchy of municipal and industrial hydraulic machinery, the split case pump stands as the predominant choice for high-flow, low-to-medium head applications. Characterized by a casing that is split parallel to the shaft axis (axially split) or perpendicular to it (radially split), this pump […]

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are frontline defenses in protecting water quality and public health. Among these facilities, the BNR (Biological Nutrient Removal) wastewater treatment plant stands out for its innovative methods of […]

Portable Wastewater Treatment Plants: A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction As urbanization and population growth continue to exert pressure on existing wastewater infrastructures, portable wastewater treatment plants (PWTPs) have emerged as a critical solution for sustainable water management. The flexibility, efficiency, and environmental benefits of PWTPs cannot be overstated. According to a recent report from the World […]

Comprehensive Guide to Wastewater Treatment Tanks: Essential Insights for Professionals Introduction In an age where water scarcity and pollution are pressing global issues, the importance of effective wastewater treatment cannot be overstated. According to the United Nations, approximately 2 billion people worldwide still lack access to safely managed drinking water, exacerbating the need for efficient […]

Corrosion in wastewater systems is a major problem that affects infrastructure worldwide. It can lead to costly repairs, service disruptions, and even environmental hazards. The fight against corrosion in these systems has been ongoing for decades, but new technologies are changing the game. Recent innovations in corrosion prevention and control are making waves in the […]
