As seen in World Water: Community decentralized treatment systems provide critical protection to water resources in areas without access to affordable centralized sewer networks. Dennis Hallahan of Infiltrator Water Technologies explores recent regulatory developments and project applications that illustrate the global acceptance of the decentralized treatment solution.
To sustain the environment and smart community growth while protecting public health, engineers, municipal health officials, and regulators need innovative wastewater treatment solutions.
Providing a suitable environment for microorganisms to treat wastewater is what aerobic treatment units (ATUs) are all about. These advanced systems outshine alternatives on tight lots where there is no room for conventional treatment and on sites with poor soils, shallow vertical separation distances to limiting conditions, and horizontal setback restrictions.
Infiltrator Water Technologies, a leading manufacturer of products for the decentralized water and wastewater industries, is pleased to announce the addition of Sheryl Ervin, PG to the Regulatory Affairs Department.

For communities with no access to centralized wastewater treatment, finding cost-effective and sustainable solutions for residential and commercial treatment and dispersal/disposal is a challenge.
As seen in WaterWorld: Decentralized Wastewater Treatment
Previously underdeveloped countries are experiencing severe environmental challenges and, in some cases, an influx of wealth that is raising living standards.
America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018, a bill set to provide more than $6 billion in funding for water infrastructure projects nationwide, now awaits the president’s signature.
As seen in Water Quality Products: One in every three homes in the U.S. is served by an individual onsite septic system. Advances in products, regulations, treatment and disposal strategies have expanded the reach and appeal of the decentralized option from small-flow systems in rural areas to decentralized treatment facilities that serve entire communities. There are decentralized systems that operate at capacities of more than 1 million gal per day.
As seen in Water & Wastes Digest: Tanks are the backbone of most water and wastewater systems, and though the function of a tank as a storage vessel has not changed, the versatility and performance of today’s tanks certainly has. Much of this relates to manufacturing advances that allow for production of strong, lightweight plastic tanks of varying sizes. These new tank designs are durable, allow for easy transportability to remote and challenging sites, and are inert to wastewater constituents boosting longevity. In potable water and rainwater capture systems, plastic tanks have emerged as a top choice.
