ABB advances flow measurement for harsh and low-flow applications
ABB advances flow measurement performance with a major upgrade to the ProcessMaster FER620 flowmeter family, delivering greater accuracy, reliability and efficiency for harsh conditions and low-flow applications. The ProcessMaster FER620 features a rugged, fully welded and hermetically sealed sensor that ensures long‑term stability and performance in the most challenging environments across pumping stations, water abstraction, water treatment, water distribution and irrigation. The ProcessMaster FER620 sensor design supports direct burial of the flowmeter without the need for a chamber. The sensor is protected against continuous submersion in water with an IP68…

Read MoreHIGH-FREQUENCY SIMULATIONS AND REAL-TIME FORECAST ANALYSIS: KEY TO MODERN FLOOD MANAGEMENT
New early warning systems must be based on three key elements: the ability to simulate, predict, and analyze in real time; coordination between agencies and operators; and public education, risk awareness, and trust in the warning system, according to Xylem Vue June 8, 2026. The real value of a warning system for extreme events such as floods lies not in the warning itself, but in the ability to trigger timely decisions well in advance, according to the World Meteorological Organization and UNEP. According to Sergio Morant, Head of EWS at…

Read MoreRE-ENGINEERING MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT: AN INSIGHT INTO THE TRANSFORMATION OF NANOBUBBLE TECHNOLOGY IN PRIMARY, SECONDARY & TERTIARY PROCESSES
Amit Kapur, Founder, Chairman & MD of NICO Nanobubble India Co. From Compliance to Competitive Advantage in Wastewater Treatment Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants are no longer judged solely on discharge compliance. Today’s benchmarks extend to energy efficiency, footprint reduction, chemical minimisation, carbon intensity, reuse readiness, and resilience under fluctuating loads. Conventional process trains while proven are increasingly strained by tightening norms, rising power tariffs, land constraints, and sustainability mandates. This is precisely where NICO Nanobubbles position itself not as a disruptive replacement, but as a high-impact process intensifier…
Read MoreEARLY WARNING SYSTEMS MUST EVOLVE INTO TOOLS THAT ANTICIPATE FLOODING AND PROTECT LIVES
According to a report by Xylem Vue, these systems must be integrated as operational platforms within water management frameworks, automatically linked to the activation of emergency plans, municipal protocols, and interagency decision-making processes. Floods do not cause severe damage due to a lack of data. They cause it because there is not enough actionable time to make decisions and respond. May 20, 2026. Far from being understood as simple alert platforms, Early Warning Systems (EWS) must urgently evolve into operational systems for flood and extreme event management. This is highlighted…

Read MoreNX Filtration to enable reliable drinking water production from challenging surface water in Canada
Hengelo, the Netherlands – 12 May 2026 NX Filtration has been selected to supply its hollow fiber nanofiltration (HFNF) technology to Komline Pure Water, a Canadian industrial water and wastewater treatment company. The HFNF modules will be applied in a new drinking water project in Canada to treat challenging surface water for the Ministry of Environment and Parks, with McElhanney acting as Engineer of Record. The water source is characterized by highly variable quality, including elevated levels of natural organic matter (NOM), color, and low UV transmittance. These conditions limit …
