UK Water Sector Delegation Tours Spanish Desalination Plants Ahead of Anglian Water's First SWRO Projects
Anglian Water, Cranfield University, and RAPID visited Alicante and Torrevieja to study Spanish desalination practice as Anglian prepares to build the UK's first large-scale seawater RO plants.
Construction Contracts Awarded for AUD 543 Million Goldfields Pipeline Upgrade in Western Australia
Western Australia has awarded contracts to replace 44.5 km of the century-old Goldfields Pipeline, the first stage of a AUD 543 million programme to renew capacity and reliability across the state's largest water scheme.
Oversized Process Equipment in Industrial Water Treatment: Why Safety Margins Become Hidden Life-Cycle Costs
Stacked safety factors on pumps, blowers, membranes, and tanks don't just raise the purchase price — they push equipment out of its efficient operating window for years. A life-cycle model built on a real MBR retrofit shows a phased, right-sized design beating a one-time oversized build by roughly 10%, even when the deferred expansion eventually happens.
Desalination Emerges as the Core Pillar for Asia's Coastal Water Security Strategy
Soaring urban population density and climate-induced drought across Asian coastal hubs drive massive investments in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) and renewable-powered desalination.
Produced Water Treatment: Why Direct Lithium Extraction Turns Zero Liquid Discharge From a Cost Center Into a Profit Center
Oilfield produced water has historically been a disposal problem solved by deep-well injection. As injection wells fill up and induced-seismicity restrictions tighten, the same brine is increasingly being read as a lithium ore body — but only if pretreatment is aggressive enough to protect an extraction bed that has zero tolerance for the oil and silica this water is full of.
Zero Liquid Discharge Is a Sequencing Problem: Why the Membrane-to-Thermal Handoff Point Is the Real Design Decision
Most ZLD comparisons pit MVR against MEE against membrane distillation as if picking one settles the design. The bigger lever is upstream: every extra point of recovery a membrane train squeezes out before handoff removes disproportionate capital and energy from whatever thermal step comes after it.
Why engineers keep coming back
Vendor-neutral by default
Process logic comes first. Product-specific guidance is clearly labeled and backed with test data.
Standards-anchored
Global engineering codes (AWWA, NSF, ISO) are integrated directly into our core logic.
Built by Professionals
ATLAS WTS is an independent technical portal maintained by working water specialists.
