In this online exclusive video from the Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show, Bryan Viitala of Börger walks viewers through the company’s OrbitGrinder cutting basket macerator. The OrbitGrinder is based on a completely new macerating concept that ensures better cutting results while protecting the cutters and offering a very long service life.“We grind sludges with it,” says Viitala. “Anything from primary sludge to secondary sludge or digestive sludge. The basket design is to keep constant pressure on these cutters at all times. We feel as though it’s a big improvement and it’s a major maintenance advantage to this product.”For more information, visit boerger.com.

John J. Paoluccio, president of Inventive Resources, explains how the MOE – Manhole Odor Eliminator works. The Manhole Odor Eliminator is a carbon filter system designed to remove odors from sewer vents and other manholes. Each filter cartridge contains activated carbon filter media. This filter can remove large amounts of hydrogen sulfide and other odors from sewer manholes.  The only thing that needs to be replaced on the MOE is the carbon cartridge, as needed. What makes this sewer odor device unique is the variable bladder that allows peak gases to get polished and exit the carbon filter. This unique design extends the life of the replaceable carbon cartridge, saving you maintenance time and money. For ordering or additional information, please call 209-545-1663 or visit ManholeOdorEliminator.com.

Odors from wastewater treatment plants and collection systems aren't just unpleasant. They can lead to safety hazards for operators and the public as well as odor complaints and infrastructure corrosion. A holistic approach to odor control tackles the problem at its source while also treating emissions throughout the system.Liquid-phase solutions control the formation of odorous compounds like hydrogen sulfide by dosing chemicals directly into the collection system. Vapor-phase technologies capture and neutralize foul air at problem areas in lift stations and treatment plants.Join our webinar to learn proven strategies for optimizing your odor control program by integrating liquid-phase and vapor-phase technologies. Expert speakers from Manatee County and Xylem will showcase how combining these approaches enables utilities to target a broader range of odors across their system while reducing chemical demand and improving operational dependability. Speakers will also explore how real-time monitoring can optimize system performance by dynamically adjusting to changing conditions.Don’t miss this opportunity to learn actionable strategies from the experts and take your odor control program to the next level.

Managing water infrastructure, whether drinking water distribution, wastewater collection, or stormwater drainage, requires more than knowing where your assets are. You need to understand how water moves through them. In this webinar, we’ll show how directional styling in OpenGov Enterprise Asset Management empowers utilities to visualize the flow of water across all systems: water mains, sewer laterals, storm drains, and more. These tools turn static GIS maps into operationally intelligent visuals that enhance response, planning, and compliance. With features like flow arrows, pattern rules, and color-coded lines, your team can: Support faster emergency response during main breaks, backups, or floodingImprove shutdown planning by clarifying upstream/downstream pathsEnable cross-team coordination for maintenance, inspections, and repairsStrengthen compliance with MS4, EPA, and local reporting requirements Whether you're managing drinking water, storm, or wastewater systems, this session will show how smarter GIS symbology delivers the clarity and context your water teams need.
