The Region of Durham partnered with Ontario Tech University to detect fragments (RNA and proteins) of COVID-19 in wastewater to help with surveillance and early detection of additional outbreaks of the disease. See their findings:

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) released a memo placing a moratorium on the incineration of materials containing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). According to the memo, the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act requires the ban until the DOD issues guidance implementing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) interim guidance on the destruction and disposal of PFAS. And, what does the EPA’s current interim guidance say about incinerating PFAS-containing waste? It is best summarized this way: “More research is needed.”

HRS Heat Exchangers’ Matt Hale examines all the considerations needed when selecting the right heat exchanger, as well as several types of exchangers most suitable for wastewater applications.

After hitting a static level of breaks and non-revenue water (NRW) loss, for Halifax Water (HW) the challenge is increasing leak awareness to reduce run time. To help reduce NRW loss, HW partnered with Mueller for a performance trial of an advanced pressure management and control platform.

Ensuring the integrity of a lined above ground storage tank can be very challenging. A recent project demonstrated that a new Canadian innovation in leak detection technology made the job a lot easier.

Infinitii ai looks at the automation of utilities using machine learning program, Python, and the development of a new automation software called face pro.

After discovering E.Coli in watercourses, Hamilton identified residential cross-connected sewer laterals, as a source of untreated sewage flows.

Instead of accepting traditional rules-of-thumb, there is an opportunity for wastewater plant operators and design engineers to determine actual mixing requirements.

This case study involved an environmental isotope investigation of groundwater in a small community where the groundwater was known to be impacted by nitrate.

End user households and municipal water utilities are increasingly grappling with the need to address PFAS once they are detected in source water.

The wastewater treatment plant's most important goal in dewatering was to maximize the reduction of the volume of sewage sludge.

The main debate now is whether or not humanity can halt or even rollback the damage caused by CO2 emitted through the burning of fossil fuels.

The routine removal of accumulated sediments from stormwater management ponds is expensive, but necessary for maintaining flood control and water quality.

The University of Waterloo is leading an interdisciplinary research team that hopes to unlock key information that will inform Canadian water systems about potential PFAS contaminants and treatment options that could impact millions of...
