Whether it is a borehole application requiring outdoor enclosure or surface mount pump and motor requiring a drive to withstand corrosive environment, the IPC has the right solution. Each drive enclosure is constructed to provide a different degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts.

Pumps are everywhere in agriculture, essential both for irrigation and for heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC). But water needs change, and irrigation systems don’t always require a constant flow rate or constant pressure. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are electric controllers that vary the speed of the pump, allowing the pump to respond smoothly and efficiently to fluctuations in demand.

Shanghai Xinlun Paper was upgrading its pulping and paper-making process. As this was taking place, new regulations came into effect that required the mill to invest in secondary wastewater treatment so it could meet stringent effluent limits of 100 mg/l chemical oxygen demand (COD), 30 mg/l biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and 200 mg/l total suspended solids (TSS).

BALTEN needed to modernize its outdated infrastructure and software platforms, so it could optimize its irrigation water transportation system and improve the overall performance of its irrigation water service.

Bell & Gossett manufacturer’s representative, Hydro-Flo, in Brookfield, Wisconsin, presented a solution to the VA’s pump room challenge: the VSX vertical split case pump.

By implementing a proactive management program, utilities can virtually eliminate the risk of failure within their PCCP inventory. Even utilities that have not experienced a large-diameter PCCP failure, can realize significant capital program savings by managing these assets in place of replacement.

While evaluating wire breaks are an important part of PCCP management, it is important to acknowledge additional factors beyond wire breaks. By acknowledging additional condition factors, limitations of wire break assessment, and considering other rehabilitation approaches, there may be a more sustainable PCCP management approach.

The Bilbao Bizkaia Water Consortium (CABB) is the public utility responsible for managing the main drinking water and wastewater network in the province of Bizkaia, serving over one million residents through a range of water supply pipelines, sewer networks, and wastewater treatment plants across 97 municipalities.

The challenge for Adirondack Beverages was to meet United States Pharmacopeia (USP 23) regulations for the production of bottled water and to be able to meet future USP 24 regulations without additional equipment.

Laticínios Bela Vista expanded their plant in Bela Vista de Goiás and evaluated wastewater treatment options that would meet the company’s commitment to sustainable growth and protection of the environment. Laticínios Bela Vista selected an anaerobic digestion treatment system proven to treat dairy wastewater.

In February 2020, the California State Water Resources Control Board announced revised drinking water Response Levels for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) in drinking water. The new Response Levels (RLs) were set at 10 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOA and 40 ppt for PFOS. The previous RL was 70 ppt for a combined total concentration for the two contaminants.

Bowling Green Municipal Utilities (BGMU) provides commercial water and wastewater treatment and electrical power services to a population of more than 60,000 in the community of Bowling Green, KY.  In 2010, the BGMU wastewater treatment plant was approaching the end of its useful life, just as the utility’s operating permit was up for renewal.
