Know your options for mag meter installation cost, care, and calibration
Electromagnetic meters (mag meters) are well established in terms of highly accurate performance for a variety of municipal and industrial water applications. Differences in their construction formats, however, dictate how easy they can be to install, maintain, and calibrate. Compare these three options to see the value of full-profile-insertion (FPI) mag meters and their associated advantages in ...

Realizing energy savings in water processing applications using medium voltage adjustable frequency drives
Why uptime and energy efficiency matter in water processing Making sure that systems and processes are up and running while improving energy efficiency (and cost) is crucial in water processing applications. During the recent recession, federal and municipal budgets tightened, limiting access to capital across the United States. At the same time, increased awareness of the environmental and ...

Communication and the Narrative Basis of Sustainability: Observations from the Municipal Water Sector
Numerous studies attempt to operationalize sustainability and seek to characterize objective, or at least standardized, metrics of sustainable conditions and/or operations. In this paper, we suggest that sustainability is better viewed as an emergent quality, defined in terms of specific institutions and situations. Observations from the water sector suggest that sustainability is not merely a ...

Case histories of using tin technology to control corrosion in water systems
Stannous chloride is an alternative corrosion control in aqueous systems. Stannous chloride’s effectiveness as a better corrosion inhibitor has been demonstrated in both municipal drinking water and industrial cooling water applications and its use has a reduced impact on rivers and streams. Orthophosphate and other phosphate compounds are the most common treatments for reducing corrosion ...

What Is A V-Cone Meter? And Why Should I Care?
There is a better alternative for differential pressure (DP) metering accuracy in problematic applications where other meter designs might compromise performance. A V-Cone meter’s simple mechanical design overcomes confined spacing, pipeline turbulence, and even noisy electrical environments that can hamper other meters. Best of all, it delivers + 0.5 percent accuracy and provides an easy ...

Sustainable sludge handling for the 21st Century
Purification of municipal and industrial waste waters leads to the generation of a residue-called “excess sludge”. This material when mechanically dewatered is typically 75-90% water. The balance of the dewatered sludge consists of organic compounds (solid waste, biomass) and inert materials (sand, salts, and metals). These sludges have been to date dehydrated to reduce the aqueous fraction ...

Smart solutions for a market in transition
Municipal and industrial water treatment is poised to enter an era of significant change, with key regulatory updates on the horizon and cost pressures putting an increasingly tight squeeze on aging infrastructure and operating expenses alike. Tackling these challenges and forging a path towards a successful future demands that all stakeholders up their game, addressing inefficiencies and ...

From biofilm ecology to reactors: a focused review
Biofilms are complex biostructures that appear on all surfaces that are regularly in contact with water. They are structurally complex, dynamic systems with attributes of primordial multicellular organisms and multifaceted ecosystems. The presence of biofilms may have a negative impact on the performance of various systems, but they can also be used beneficially for the treatment of water ...

Detection of
Legionella by cultivation and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in biological waste water treatment plants in NorwayCases of Legionnaires' disease associated with biological treatment plants (BTPs) have been reported in six countries between 1997 and 2010. However, knowledge about the occurrence of Legionella in BTPs is scarce. Hence, we undertook a qualitative and quantitative screening for Legionella in BTPs treating waste water from municipalities and industries in Norway, to assess the ...

How to Improve Water Availability in India
Water plays a critical role in sustaining societies, economies, and ecosystems—but it’s becoming increasingly scarce despite the growing demand. Experts predict that by 2030, global freshwater demand will outpace supply by 40% to 50%. For countries like India—now the world’s most populous nation—these stats are not encouraging. So, how do we improve water ...

3 Costly Non-Compliance issues you can avoid by oil skimming
Editor’s note: This post was originally published in 2013 and has been updated for comprehensiveness. A proper oil skimming system can help you meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements. Since the government created the Federal Water Pollution Control Act in 1948, U.S. businesses have come to view environmental responsibility as a duty that goes beyond regulatory compliance. ...

Municipal water pricing and tariff design: a reform agenda for South Asia
The water tariffs currently in use in most cities in South Asia are not accomplishing their principal objectives. They are not generating sufficient revenues to ensure that utilities can recover their financial costs. They are not sending the correct economic signals to households, i.e., that water is scarce and must be treated as a valuable commodity. They are not helping the majority of the ...
