Improving Water Quality with Mixers, Polymers, and Chloramines | WEFTEC Series | Podcast | EP4

David Stanton of Cleanwater1 on tank mixers, polymer activation, on-site chlorine generation and sensors that help utilities meet water quality rules.

Utilities have to meet strict water quality requirements, both at the treatment plant and out in the distribution network. In episode 4 of the Engineers for Communities WEFTEC Series, David Stanton talks about lower-cost ways to meet them. The talk covers mixers, polymers and chloramines.

Guest

David Stanton joins from Cleanwater1.

In this episode

  • Why mixing water in the distribution network matters to keep it from going stagnant.
  • Mixers made to drop into existing water storage tanks.
  • Polymer activation (Polyblend) and how it makes better use of polymer in wastewater treatment.
  • On-site generation of sodium hypochlorite from salt, which removes the need to transport hazardous chlorine gas.
  • Optical sensors for precise water quality monitoring.
