The BioMag™ System
Introducing the BioMag™ System — the magnetite ballasted application that’s changing the way people think about secondary wastewater treatment. Simple, reliable, and proven, the BioMag™ System easily integrates with planned or existing facilities, increasing activated sludge system capacity up to 300% without new tankage, providing control over the depth of secondary sludge blankets, and enabling nutrient removal levels down to 3 mg/L TN and 0.2 mg/L TP — all at substantially lower costs than conventional systems.
See the benefits of the BioMag™ System for yourself at WEFTEC 2012, or visit www.siemens.com/weftec.

Corrosion In Wastewater Systems: More Than One Bug
By Heather Ramsey, John Davis, and Gary Hall, Sauereisen, Inc.
The role of various bacteria in the destruction of concrete in wastewater systems has been recognized since 1945. Already susceptible to old age, wastewater infrastructure systems are also threatened by corrosive bacteria — but they needn't be.

By Steve Werblow, Amiad Water Systems
Faced with drastic state-mandated cuts in the amount of phosphorus, nitrogen, and warm water that could be discharged into southern Oregon’s South Umpqua River, the Roseburg Urban Sanitary Authority (RUSA) decided to think big about how to modify its wastewater treatment plans — to the tune of 340 acres.

Schneider Electric Advanced Weather Solutions
Reductions in funding and tax revenues are forcing some water utilities to cut back on operational expenses. However, many municipalities often have the funds, but don't realize it. Many times, these funds exist in maintenance and operating budgets, and it just takes a little creative thinking to utilize the money. One example of thinking outside the box includes using advanced weather information to improve operational efficiency.
