The Duperon® FlexRake®: Inventing A Product That Defined A Segment
2/23/2018
In 1993, the Duperon® FlexRake® entered the market as the first multi-rake wastewater screen to operate without a lower sprocket, bearing or track. Designed by Duperon Corporation founder Terry Duperon, the patented equipment reflected his belief that mechanics should operate as simply as possible. The result was a mechanically-cleaned bar screen that consisted of just three main components — screen, raking device and drivehead. Despite its simplicity, the unit quickly proved to be far more reliable than other, more complicated designs. Paired with the industry’s first five-year warranty in wastewater, the Duperon® FlexRake® soon became a benchmark for low maintenance and ease of operation.

Top 10 Considerations For Designing And Installing Your Stormwater System
5/15/2018
Designing an underground stormwater storage system is a unique step in the overall construction process for each site. The size of the inlets and the conveyance pipes are determined by flow rate, elevation, and slope. This information is entered and calculated by stormwater management software to determine the drainage calculation. But many of the measures build upon one another or vary based on different criteria, so it can be a pretty complex process. That’s why we’re going to take a look at the top 10 factors that go into designing and installing one of these systems.

Mobile Home Park Installs Modular MBR System To Save Valuable Space
5/18/2020
Bay Meadows is a year-round RV and mobile home park located along the shores of Lake Ontario. The facility had been reliant on subsurface treatment, however current regulatory requirements eliminated the option of continuing with that approach. In addition to high bedrock, the lack of available area due to design flow values meant a more sophisticated sewage treatment solution would be necessary.

How To Cannibalize Your Own Technology
4/3/2019
Business people love to talk about "disruption." They pride themselves on eating their competitors' lunch. Where their markets used to be about raving fans, now it's about inspiring craving fans, fueled by "hunger marketing" and the fear of missing out. There's a lot of dog-eat-dog philosophy...which is why it's important for companies to be willing to cannibalize their own technologies.

Fluence’s MABR For Wastewater Treatment features Passive Aeration And Saves Up To 90% On Energy Costs
10/26/2017
The Bordeaux region of St. Thomas had a pressing need for a wastewater treatment plant that produces high effluent quality. Its existing plant was old and did not meet regulation nor industry standards. Fluence, together with its partner SD&C Inc., built an MABR-based wastewater treatment plant from the ground up, utilizing whatever existing pieces of equipment could be used from the old plant.

Biologically Active Filter Technology Applications For Wastewater Treatment Upgrade
8/4/2016
Wastewater treatment facilities are subject to many different drivers for completing upgrades. Among the most prevalent drivers is a need to keep current with ever-changing, and increasingly stringent, environmental regulations. These regulations frequently require upgrading to tertiary treatment and the removal of BOD, TSS and Total Nitrogen.

The Key To Accurate Waste Gas Flow Measurement
4/20/2020
Wastewater treatment facilities have a tremendous opportunity to utilize the biogas they generate to lower energy costs and minimize odors. However, the practice isn’t as widespread as it could be, as the precision gas flow and methane content readings required to optimize the process often clash with the misconception that biogas is messy and difficult to measure reliably. With the proper equipment, it is possible to accurately measure biogas to cut emissions and reduce or eliminate the energy bill.
