Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is a composite material made by reinforcing a polymer matrix with glass fibers, offering the strength and durability of fiberglass combined with the versatility of plastic. It is known for its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and high strength-to-weight ratio. In the waterworks industry, FRP water tanks have become indispensable for applications like potable water storage, wastewater treatment, …

Granular activated carbon (GAC) is a highly porous form of carbon with a large internal surface area greater than 500 m2/g, which makes it effective for removing dissolved organic materials and other contaminants from water through the process of adsorption. Water treatment with granular activated carbon is accomplished by percolating the water to be treated through dual-media/multimedia filters whereby the …

What is Polyacrylamide? Polyacrylamide, often abbreviated as PAM, is a synthetic polymer that is widely used in the treatment of potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water.  It is formed from the monomer acrylamide and can be synthesized to have different properties depending on the desired application. Polyacrylamide commonly appears as a white or off-white powder or granular substance. It is …

Ferrous sulfate, also known as iron(II) sulfate, is a compound with the formula FeSO₄(H₂O)ₓ where x can vary between 0 and 7. It’s worth noting that the heptahydrate form (FeSO₄·7H₂O) is the most common and commercially available form of ferrous sulfate. It is used in water treatment primarily as a reducing agent, helping to remove impurities such as manganese, hydrogen …
