By Saumya Garg (This is Part 3 of a three-part series on Reclaimed Water. Part 1 of the series was an introduction on reused water. In Part 2 we looked at Direct Potable Reuse of water.) Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) water is when reclaimed water is released to environmental buffers such as reservoirs and aquifers

By Saumya Garg (This is Part 1 of a three-part series on Reclaimed Water. Part 2 of the series will shed some light on Direct Potable Reuse of water and Part 3 will look at Indirect Potable Reuse of water.) Growing human population, urbanization, expanding agricultural production, and climate change have created large water demands
Von Saumya Garg (aus dem Englischen übersetzt) Ultraviolette (UV) Systeme zur Desinfektion von Wasser bestehen aus mehreren entscheidenden Teilen, die für eine optimale Leistung sorgen. In den beigefügten Wartungsdokumenten dieser Systeme sind diese Teile eindeutig angegeben und die Intervalle für Austausch und Wartung aufgeführt. Kurz gesagt, die Teile, die häufig besondere Aufmerksamkeit erfordern, sind: Ein
By Saumya Garg Wastewater comprises of a mix of solids, dissolved matter, particulates, microorganisms, nutrients, heavy metals and micro-pollutants. This complex mix undergoes treatment at wastewater treatment facilities before it is released into the environment as wastewater effluent. Per federal guidelines laid out in the Clean Water Act, state and county water divisions set the
By Saumya Garg Water hammer is a hydraulic phenomenon that occurs when flowing water is abruptly stopped by a block in its path. Since water molecules have very limited compression capability, a sudden stop forces the water to move in the opposite direction, which is again slammed forward by incoming water and so on. This
By Saumya Garg Ultraviolet (UV) systems for disinfecting water comprise several crucial parts that keep them running at optimum performance. Equipment maintenance documents that accompany these systems clearly identify these parts and mention replacement and service requirements. Briefly, the parts that require frequent special attention are: UV Lamp – The UV lamp is the most
UV disinfection technology treats one million gallons of wastewater per day for reuse in award-winning botanical garden irrigation project Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems from Aquionics are producing significant energy and maintenance savings for a wastewater treatment plant in the City of Silverton, Oregon. The facility collects all the residential, commercial and industrial wastewater produced by
