With increasing demands in community drinking water, treatment plants are looking at ways to maximize water production, optimize costs, and reduce downtime.

Opflow magazine featured these two case studies in their article about the advantages of buoyant media, written by Rich Ross, Gerry Baker, and Dave Lucey from WesTech.
