A Lid For Every Pot: Retrofitting To Meet New Aeration Challenges
5/16/2019
Aeration for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment involves more than simply moving volumes of air through a treatment basin. It really comes down to creating and sustaining an optimal oxygenated environment for microorganisms to convert oxygen consuming compounds into CO2 and water. Here are some key considerations for making better retrofit decisions about upgrading existing basin capacity and efficiency with jet aeration.

Making The Best Of A Bad O2 Situation
8/18/2019
A balanced wastewater process is a beautiful thing — plenty of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), plenty of O2, and all those hungry little microbes are fat and happy. But what can be done when dissolved oxygen (DO) takes a nosedive and there’s not enough O2 to satisfy industrial and food processing BOD? Here are some preparations to consider before wastewater treatment goes completely out of whack.

Water Into Wine
7/20/2020
As a young engineer on a farm in California's Central Valley grappling with the challenge of injecting fertilizer into irrigation water, Angelo Mazzei didn't consider how his career would ultimately turn his knowledge of water into a deep involvement in wine. But since he crafted first high-efficiency venturi injectors in the 1970s in his garage to help improve water, fate and business have pulled Angelo Mazzei toward wine from every direction.

Meat Processing Companies: Benefits Of Electrocoagulation
10/30/2020
While vegetarianism and veganism have both grown in popularity in the past decade, vegans and vegetarians combined are vastly outnumbered by people who love meat. In the United States, where we have hot-dog-eating contests and food-eating challenges, we consume a lot of meat of all types. Therefore, meat-processing water treatment is required to package and process these foods within the U.S. and across the world.
