09.24.25 -- How To Boost Industrial Plant Capacity By Retrofitting Aeration Tanks

Read about an extensive study that was carried out to evaluate the ability of the HOD UV system to control biofouling in the Governador José Richa Power Plant. 

Located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, the Frank E. VanLare Waste Water Treatment Facility, Monroe County, N.Y., has a total treatment capacity of 660 mgd and is currently running around 100 mgd. The plant uses Non-metallic Eclipse pumps to pump 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite, Chlorine, for disinfection before the final discharge of the wastewater.

Chemical dosing pumps directly impact mining profitability. Optimized dosing improves recovery, reduces costs, enhances safety, and ensures compliance—making high-quality pumps essential to plant performance.

While some water quality parameters may get more attention in industrial settings, few are more critical than conductivity. Understanding conductivity monitoring for industrial applications — where it is needed, how it works, and how to leverage the appropriate instruments and standards in order to pinpoint it — will unlock huge gains in efficiency, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance.

In commercial brewing — as with other food, chemical, or industrial processes — control over steam heating can have significant influence on process costs and consistent quality in the final product. But its measurement and control can also be impacted by unique circumstances of those applications. Here is how changing just one aspect of steam measurement brought economy and consistency to multiple aspects of a brewer’s overall process.
