Coverage of new research, industry analysis, and emerging technology in commercial and industrial water treatment.
DuPont WAVE PRO: The Water Industry's First Fully Integrated Multi-Technology Design Platform
DuPont's July 9 announcement completed a two-year development arc: WAVE PRO now connects UF, IX, RO, and nanofiltration in a single environment where changes in one technology automatically propagate through the connected system design. Plus: FilmTec NF270-440 with 10% more membrane area and Fortilife CR200 for fouling-prone waters.
What's Actually in Data Center Water Discharge — and Who Regulates It
Cooling tower blowdown contains biocides, heavy metals, corrosion inhibitors, and potentially PFAS. A technical look at data center cooling system types, discharge chemistry, NPDES obligations, and the regulatory gaps the Cheyenne contamination incident made visible.
Contaminated by Construction: Meta's Wyoming Data Center and Cheyenne's Wastewater Crisis
Meta's construction entity was found in "significant noncompliance" with Cheyenne's industrial pretreatment regulations after fill-and-flush wastewater from the $800M Project Cosmo campus introduced a rare, multidrug-resistant bacterium into the city's reclamation facility. Cheyenne has now suspended data center wastewater acceptance citywide.
AquaPoro Raises $5M for Stream: A Closer Look at Its Atmospheric Water System
AquaPoro's Stream system claims 16,000 liters/day down to 15% humidity. Here's what the company has published about the technology — and what's still unverified against the peer-reviewed research.
How Suspended Ion Exchange Actually Removes PFAS: The Mechanism Behind Tampa's $200 Million Bet
Tampa is building the world's largest SIX facility to fight PFAS. Here's the actual mechanism — why its strength is organics removal, not direct PFAS capture, and what that means for any facility relying on GAC or ion exchange.
From Crushpad to Tap: How a Napa Startup Turned Winery Wastewater Into Certified Drinking Water
Revida Water says its containerized treatment system converted winery wastewater into EPA-standard drinking water at UC Davis — independently verified, and arriving as 1,500+ California wineries face a new state wastewater mandate.
From Lab Bench to Industrial Plant: Graphene Oxide's Emerging Role in Water Purification
A peer-reviewed Pakistan groundwater study and an industry analysis from Inspenet both find graphene oxide membranes genuinely promising — and both say the technology is still in the validation stage before industrial deployment.
