HomeBiogas identified the possibility to support the development and transformation of such communities through the use of their patented Bio-Toilet, a compact and portable waste management solution that converts waste into renewable biogas for cooking – all without the need for electricity.

Yorkshire Water’s Dynamic Maintenance Team identified that they required an easily deployable solution that delivered tangible benefits across the network.

The Environment Act 21 became law in November 2021 and sets out ambitious targets for the protection of our rivers, estuaries, and coastal zones. Part 5 Section 82 requires water utilities to continuously monitoring water quality upstream and downstream of all storm overflow and sewage disposal works, which discharge into a water course.

The sewer force main was not just leaking into the streets but into the Intercoastal Waterways along the coast of Florida. Smith-Blair engineers developed the solution, sent drawings to the customer, got the drawings approved and then had fabrications team come in specifically to work on the 48 inch bell pack all night.

The dismantling fitting will allow for easy removal and re-installation of the butterfly valve when valve maintenance is required. These fittings are part of the new Panamanian subway system pipeline relocation project that involves several thousand feet of pipeline.

For this particular job, Smith-Blair built 36 inch Flanged Coupling Adapters (FCAs). The FCAs are designed to provide an efficient means to remove and reinstall the pumps, valves and other fittings during maintenance procedures.

Having noticed a gap in the market, Fabricon Group designed and manufactured an innovative shower unit specifically for dogs that could sit alongside other domestic appliances in a kitchen or utility room setting, making it more accessible. The shower is plumbed using a hot and cold feed for extra comfort, and water is drained from the system via a specialized pump.

A new white paper from Bell & Gossett explores the value of hydronics in reducing HVAC systems’ negative impact on the environment and advancing sustainability, decarbonization and net zero emissions

Body care, including showering and bathing, is the biggest water consuming activity within domestic households, accounting for around 40% of daily consumption. In a bid to make showering more water efficient, Danish start-up company Flow Loop designed the ‘LOOP’ – a sustainable yet luxurious recycling shower solution that reduces water consumption by 80%.

Flow monitoring site and hydraulic conditions that can impact a stable stage-discharge relationship comprises of unstable section control, sediment transport, debris, vegetation, off-channel storage, variable backwater effects and unsteady flow conditions.

Online water quality monitoring systems were deployed to protect treatment processes, improve resilience and ensure availability of clean water to the customers supplies.

One of the key advantages of a variable speed system as opposed to the constant speed systems of old is the ability to adjust pump speed and staging in relation to actual demand or changes in incoming city pressure.

In September 2021, the Veszprém wastewater treatment plant engaged Sanitaire to provide diffuser liquid cleaning service, which uses formic acid injected into the main aeration pipe to clean the diffuser membranes while they are operating.

Heat exchangers are widely used in various industries including chemical, oil & gas, power generation, food & beverage, HVAC & refrigeration, pulp & paper to name a few, and are expecting strong growth over the coming years driven in part by a rising focus on environmental impact and improving efficiency standards.

An inspection of the pump showed that the internals had been severely damaged by overheating. The plant operators arranged for the pump to be repaired off-site at Xylem’s Morton Grove facility before being returned for recommissioning.

In order to further protect its customers’ drinking water and comply with the latest WIMES and DWI disinfection regulations, Cambridge Water needed to differentiate between the alarms for “quartz sleeve failure” and “UV lamp failure” at its Hinxton Grange facility, thereby allowing operators to take decisive and immediate action in the event of a problem.

A large UK private utility company responsible for providing public water supply and wastewater treatment to the majority of southern England recently approached Xylem to enquire about what it could offer to improve or restore the performance on their Sanitaire fine bubble diffused aeration systems.

A greater awareness of the importance of protecting the environment is leading many companies to review the sustainability of their processes.

At the start of 2021, the plant registered a decrease in air flow, accompanied by an increase in energy consumption by the blowers. Personnel suspected that the diffusers were clogged by calcium carbonate build-up from the water, causing significant head loss in the diffusers.

Adoption of innovational technologies that assist carbon reduction and measurement to qualify that improvement is seen as key to NetZero.

Scottish Water has a 25-year strategic plan for renewing infrastructure to provide high-quality water services that benefit people and the planet. Aging infrastructure is one of the utility’s primary challenges, with many pipelines built over 50 years ago and some well over 100 years old.

In July, 2021, two months’ worth of rain fell in a single week across Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and The Netherlands. Embodying the core values at Xylem – specifically, solving water – the Xylem team responded immediately to support disaster relief in the communities around Liege, Belgium.

The City of Fort Wayne, the second largest city in Indiana, has a proactive water utility that is always looking for innovative ways to optimize water management and better serve their community.

Heat exchangers are widely used in various industries including chemical, oil & gas, power generation, food & beverage, HVAC & refrigeration, pulp & paper to name a few, and are expecting strong growth over the coming years driven in part by a rising focus on environmental impact and improving efficiency standards.
