Rethinking Aeration: Demand-Based DO Control And Energy Optimization

Aeration control strategies often remain conservative and static. Blowers operate continuously, oxygen levels are maintained near maximum, and airflow rates are rarely adjusted in response to real-time biological demand. The result is widespread over-aeration — a condition that does not improve treatment performance but significantly increases operating costs.
Actuators On Aeration Blower Valves Improve Dissolved Oxygen And Increase Overall Process Stability

Discover how installing Beck electric actuators on the aeration blower control valves has improved process stability and plant operations for a South Florida treatment plant.
2nd Generation ATAD Provides Superior Treatment

In a bold move to modernize its wastewater treatment, Bowling Green, Ohio, installed the state’s first second-generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) system — ThermAer — in 2004.
California's First Installation Of 2nd Generation ATAD

Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant, located in Pacifica, California, recently retrofitted to the Thermal Process Systems’ ThermAer™. This is California’s first installation of the second generation ATAD system.
The Savings Are Blowin' In At Port Washington Wastewater Treatment Plant

The municipal wastewater treatment plant in Port Washington, Wisconsin, is located on the picturesque shore of Lake Michigan, so it’s essential that their plant performs as designed.
Compressed Air System Leaks: The Cost, Common Culprits, Detection, And Repair

In this paper, we’ll discuss how many companies are losing thousands of dollars each year to compressed air system leaks. We will address where leaks commonly occur, leak detection methods, and practical advice for an audit and repair plan.
Selecting The Optimal Blower For The Water Industry

In this white paper, we will drill down into which technology has particularly proven itself in terms of energy efficiency in the water industry.
Comprehensive Compressed Air Assessments: The 5-Step Process

The objective of this paper is to define the five steps required in a compressed air assessment. We will use a real-world example with system information from a magnetic materials manufacturer to clearly illustrate each step.
Case Study: Flat Creek Water Recovery Facility

In this case study, learn about a city that worked with ChartWater™ to provide emergency, supplemental oxygenation using BlueInGreen’s supersaturated dissolved oxygen (SDOX®) technology.
Oxygen On Demand: How A Gulf Coast Refinery Overcame High COD Challenges With A Rapid H2O2 Dosing System

The Gulf Coast Refinery approached USP Technologies (USP) to engineer a bulk H2O2 chemical dosing system sized to meet the plant’s D.O. demand

Sewage Pump Station Level Application
The most common level application in the water and waste water industry is the infamous wet well. With its line-of-sight measurement technology, rugged sensor, narrow laser beam and virtually nonexistent maintenance requirements or on-site calibration, ABB’s LLT100 laser level transmitter answers most concerns related to wet well level measurements and makes it easy to calculate what could amount to a substantial return on investment.
Aeration: Airmaster Aerator Each aeration unit shall be capable of producing 3.0 lbs. of oxygen per nameplate horsepower per hour under normal conditions during aeration. Each 15 HP aeration unit is capable of pumping and mixing approximately 3,024,000 gallons per day under normal conditions and continuous operation
Traffic Rated Screen Drain Grates
Most lift stations and basins require separate drain inlets that do little to keep out large solids such as gravel, branches and general litter than can destroy pumps. ClearBlu has developed a traffic rated grate system that utilizes perforated plate with 1/4″ holes. The grate sits in a heavy grate frame that embeds in concrete. By embedding the frame in concrete, traffic weight is carried by the frame and concrete and not the basin. This allows the basin to be secured and sealed to a poly or fiberglass basin.
Why Rebuild A Blower Before It Fails?
Rebuilding a positive-displacement blower before it fails helps you avoid unplanned downtime, protect downstream processes, and reduce the risk of costly collateral damage. Over time, wear on critical components (such as internal clearances, bearings, shafts, and seals) can reduce performance, increase vibration, and raise operating temperatures.
Diffused Aeration Diffused air is a simple concept which entails pumping air through a pipe or tubing and releasing this air though a diffuser below the water’s surface.
