Feed, temperature, ventilation and flock health are closely monitored in commercial poultry production. But one of the most important inputs birds consume every day can easily be overlooked: Water. Under normal conditions, poultry can consume roughly two pounds of water for every pound of feed, although consumption varies with bird age, environmental conditions and other factors, according […]

Effective water disinfection is about more than selecting a powerful disinfectant. Operators also need to consider how the chemical is stored, generated, dosed, monitored and maintained throughout the treatment process. For many water treatment applications, maintaining an adequate disinfectant residual is just as important as the initial disinfection step. The treatment approach must provide reliable microbial […]

When facilities compare chlorination systems, one number often gets most of the attention: the price of the chemical. It makes sense. Chemical price is easy to see, easy to calculate, and easy to compare. But the price per pound does not tell you how much a chlorination system actually costs to operate. Two facilities may pay […]

Disinfection is essential for controlling microorganisms in drinking water and other water treatment applications. However, when chlorine-based disinfectants react with naturally occurring substances in source water, they can also produce disinfection by-products (DBPs). The most commonly regulated DBP groups in U.S. drinking water include trihalomethanes (THMs)and haloacetic acids (HAA5). Other inorganic DBPs, such as chlorate, chlorite, and bromate, are associated […]

Disinfection is a critical stage in the water well drilling process. During drilling, the well is exposed to surface contaminants, soil bacteria, and potential pathogens from drilling fluids and equipment. The failure to properly disinfect a water well—both during construction and during routine maintenance—leads to a cascade of mechanical, chemical, and biological failures. These problems are […]

When discussing egg production, most conversations focus on genetics, nutrition, lighting programs, or flock management. While all of these factors are essential, one of the most influential production variables is often overlooked: drinking water quality. Water is the most important nutrient consumed by poultry. Beyond hydration, it serves as the medium for nutrient absorption, body […]

Why Process Water Quality Matters in Beverage Manufacturing The bottled water and beverage industry must comply with strict sanitation standards to ensure safe, reliable, and consistent product quality. Bottling facilities — including bottled water, soft drink, sparkling water, and juice plants — face significant technical and operational challenges caused by contaminants present in their source water. Unlike […]

Struggling to maintain chlorine residual? Learn the 7 most common causes of chlorine loss in water and wastewater systems and how to improve disinfection performance. Maintaining a consistent chlorine residual is one of the most common challenges in water and wastewater treatment. Operators often increase chlorine dosage expecting a higher residual, only to find that […]

Organic chlorine tablets – PROVICHLOR TABLET™ – can offer meaningful operational benefits whether for potable water or wastewater applications, especially small to medium systems, remote sites, field water treatment, and locations where liquid chemical handling is difficult. Compared with liquid bleach/sodium hypochlorite, EPA & NSF registeredProvichlor™ tablets can provide: • Longer storage stability • Easier transportation and storage • Compact inventory • Pre-measured dosing • Reduced liquid-spill risk • Lower dependence […]
