Precision monitoring enables selective recovery of phosphorus and nitrogen from wastewater streams, creating valuable fertilizer products while preventing nutrient pollution. These technologies can recover up to 90% of phosphorus from wastewater.

Thermal Energy Recovery

Heat exchange systems capture thermal energy from wastewater streams, providing heating and cooling for facility operations and reducing energy consumption. These systems can recover up to 60% of the thermal energy in wastewater.

Material Valorization

Advanced separation and extraction technologies recover valuable materials including cellulose, biopolymers, and metals from wastewater streams, creating new revenue opportunities. These technologies transform waste streams into valuable resources.

Emerging Contaminant Monitoring

Pharmaceutical Compounds

Advanced analytical technologies enable detection and monitoring of pharmaceutical residues in water systems at part-per-trillion levels. These capabilities support evaluation of treatment effectiveness and regulatory compliance for emerging contaminants.

PFAS Compounds

Specialized monitoring systems detect per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water sources and treatment systems, enabling targeted removal strategies. These "forever chemicals" represent a significant emerging concern for water quality management.

Microplastics

Innovative detection technologies identify and quantify microplastic particles in water systems, supporting research and treatment evaluation for this emerging contaminant. These technologies enable monitoring of particles as small as 1 micron in size.

Antibiotic Resistance

Molecular monitoring techniques detect antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes in water systems, supporting public health protection strategies. These capabilities address a critical emerging concern at the intersection of water quality and public health.

Endocrine Disruptors

Bioanalytical screening methods detect endocrine-disrupting compounds in water sources and evaluate treatment effectiveness for these contaminants. These methods provide a comprehensive assessment of potential biological effects beyond individual chemical analysis.

Disinfection Byproducts

Advanced analytical techniques identify and quantify emerging disinfection byproducts beyond regulated compounds, supporting optimization of disinfection processes. These techniques enable comprehensive assessment of treatment tradeoffs between pathogen control and byproduct formation.

Water Reuse Systems

Water reuse represents a critical strategy for addressing water scarcity, reducing environmental impact, and creating sustainable water management systems. Advanced technologies enable safe, reliable water reuse across diverse applications:

Industrial Process Reuse

Tailored treatment systems enable cascading water use within industrial facilities, reducing freshwater consumption by 30-50%. Continuous monitoring ensures water quality meets specific process requirements while minimizing treatment costs.

Commercial Building Reuse

On-site treatment systems enable graywater recycling for non-potable applications including toilet flushing, cooling towers, and irrigation. These systems can reduce building water consumption by 30-60% while providing rapid return on investment.

Municipal Reuse

Advanced treatment trains with multi-barrier protection enable safe, reliable production of reclaimed water for irrigation, industrial use, and groundwater recharge. Comprehensive monitoring ensures consistent water quality and regulatory compliance.

Potable Reuse

State-of-the-art treatment systems with multiple treatment barriers and real-time monitoring enable production of drinking water from wastewater, creating drought-resistant water supplies. These systems incorporate advanced oxidation, membrane filtration, and enhanced disinfection to ensure safety.
