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 […]

Across the United States, small and medium-sized water utilities are facing growing pressure to maintain regulatory compliance, operational reliability, and consistent disinfectant residuals, often with aging infrastructure, limited staffing, and expanding distribution systems. For many utilities serving rural communities, remote storage tanks, agricultural areas, or decentralized infrastructure, traditional centralized chlorination strategies are becoming increasingly difficult to […]

Biofilms are structured microbial communities embedded within a self-produced extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix that adhere to surfaces in aqueous environments. Their presence in water systems represents a critical challenge due to their contribution to infrastructure deterioration, water quality degradation, and public health risks. At the same time, biofilms play a beneficial role in engineered […]
