Hydrogen embrittlement silently weakens prestressed concrete cylinder pipe, risking catastrophic failure. Learn how to detect and manage this hidden threat.

Advances in technology and data analytics now enable utilities to manage pipelines through continuous, incremental investment rather than planning for end-of-life replacement. This approach reduces the overall cost of ownership by preventing failures and avoiding the unnecessary and disruptive replacement of assets with remaining service life.

Turning phosphorous challenges for municipal wastewater into environmental opportunities through struvite recovery

Discover how Xylem’s ballasted clarification solutions deliver higher treatment efficiency and lower lifecycle costs for superior phosphorus removal

Evoqua Water Technologies LLC was contacted by a South Florida Municipality to provide an odor control solution for a lift station within their collection system. In the past, the municipality had implemented biofiltration for control of atmospheric hydrogen sulfide. However, in recent years the biofilter was removed, leaving the lift station untreated and exposed to high sulfide concentrations.

England’s Northumbrian Water Ltd (NWL) serves roughly 2.5 million people with water and sewerage services. To better assess its predicted results they conducted a project to measure how much the installation of N-pumps had reduced their costs.

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 French Community of Communes Albères Côte Vermeille Illibéris (CCACVI) is promoting a hypervision project to streamline its water cycle, based on the Xylem Vue platform.

In the face of climate change and cost and supply uncertainties, cities and municipalities must operate their plants and processes as efficiently and sustainably as possible. In this context, the town of Kaufbeuren recognized significant potential for energy optimization at its wastewater treatment plant.

For decades, the City of Richmond’s Department of Public Utilities has been working to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and improve water quality in the James River. Despite making significant improvements, the City still experiences between one and three billion gallons of annual overflow and is actively working to reach Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) water quality goals.

Clayton County Water Authority (CCWA) is a good example of a utility that doesn’t let a confined geographical footprint stop it from thinking outside the box. As one of Georgia’s smallest counties in terms of land size area (only 143 square miles), its location near the top of a regional watershed means it has little area to gather precipitation into streams and rivers.

Situated in Staffordshire in the UK, the Severn Trent Cannock wastewater treatment facility serves a population of 65,053. The plant had early obligation AMP7 requirements to meet for controlling phosphorus levels.

When the affluent, new home development was being established, odor control was top of mind. The wastewater treatment plant was in close proximity to the new development, which includes 900 acres (364 hectares) of preserved open space, including 24 miles (38 kms) of trails, 10 neighborhood parks, a community pool and water park, as well as outdoor sport courts.

The Vallejo Sanitation and Flood Control District is an independent special district created by the State of California to collect and treat wastewater and protect the Vallejo community from flooding. Since 1952, the district has protected public health and the San Francisco Bay Area by treating wastewater generated by the more than 115,000 residents of Vallejo and surrounding area.
