Updated ASCE Standard 2 Helps Measure Oxygen Transfer Rate to Water
Reston, Va. – ASCE’s newest standard, Measurement of Oxygen Transfer in Clean Water, ASCE/EWRI 2--22, provides the latest methods for measuring the rate of oxygen transfer from diffused gas and mechanical oxygenation devices to water. This standard aims to be general enough to be applied to all clean water unsteady-state tests and specific enough to incorporate all essential procedures. An update of the 2006 version, the revisions to the mandatory requirements of this standard...

Cleaner Wastewater Makes for Healthier Rivers
After Canadian cities upgraded their wastewater treatment plans, the amount of damaging nutrients released into rivers plummeted. The result: a major improvement in river health. Have you ever thought about where your waste goes? For people living in cities, it goes to a treatment plant. However, treated wastewater ultimately finds its way into a local waterway. This means it could end up in your nearby stream, river, or lake. Although wastewater treatment reduces the threat of diseas...
Modifying Water’s Structure as Low-Energy Method for Removing Pollutants
Fresh water is a finite resource vulnerable to contamination. Researchers from the University of Guelph (U of G) and scientists from the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) are developing low-energy strategies to purify polluted water. “We’ve been looking at the purification of surface water, groundwater and wastewater,” says Erica Pensini, Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at U of G. “We found that it was possible to use molecules that are...
Research from ABB shows how cities can tackle water stress by reducing carbon emissions and costs of wastewater treatment for reuse
ABB’s “Energy Transition Equation” report demonstrates how automation and digital technology can help wastewater companies reduce carbon emissions by up to 2,000 tons per annum[1], the equivalent volume of CO2 responsible for 30,000 tons of glacier mass lost every year[2] With over 50,000 existing wastewater plants worldwide and a predicted industry growth rate of over 7 percent, if scaled, the impact in tackling water scarcity and industrial carbon emissions, is vast Average operational c...
