What Is An Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm Pump And How Does It Work?

This blog will discuss the definition of AODD pumps, some of the features and benefits, applications for these pumps, and more.

New Life For Pumping Stations

Read about ambitious rehab projects that bring pump stations up to date and keep wastewater flowing. 

Wastewater Treatment Double-Play Game Winner

While aeration and digester wastewater treatment systems are fundamentally different, they share common challenges when it comes to accurate air/gas flow measurement. Flow meters need to operate over a wide flow range, fluctuating from very high to low rates. 

How To Leverage Online Sensors And Advanced Analytics For Wastewater Treatment Control And Efficiency

By carefully choosing the parameters that are most urgent to measure and where operators need to measure them, wastewater utilities can achieve an unprecedented level of process control.

Continuous Emission Monitoring In Practice

Each country has laws and regulations for emission monitoring and control. On one hand, the demand is driven by increasing regulation and stricter enforcement. On the other, it is driven by public pressure on industries to operate sustainably.

Reducing H2S And FOG At The Discharge Of A Force Main

The County Operations staff in Prince George County, VA, investigated the wastewater collection system that serves the neighborhood, and found that odor was proliferating throughout the neighborhood. Corrosion of the sewer manholes was clearly evident.

Do You Have These Critical Spare Aeration Parts In Stock? (And Why You Should)

Certain aeration components have the potential to shut down the aeration unit and bring about unplanned downtime. Here are the ones to have on hand at all times.

10 Reasons To Use UV Water Treatment In Low-Flow Wastewater Facilities

While UV treatment can be used to complement traditional chlorine disinfection, many low-flow wastewater facilities are using it as an alternative to chlorine due to its many benefits.

Specifying Performance Over Equipment Quickly Reduces THMs In The Colorado Springs' Distribution System

Colorado Springs enjoys some of the highest quality drinking water in the country. Despite its pristine origin in the mountains, the water at the far end of the distribution system is prone to developing trihalomethanes (THMs) due to low turnover and high water age.

Planning For The Unknown: How To Prepare For A Catastrophic Failure Of Your Sewer System

Contingency planning for sewer system failures is often overlooked. Learn why a successful contingency plan can reduce costs, save reputations, and protect public health.

One such solution gaining traction is the concept of digital twins — virtual replicas of physical assets or systems.

Sargassum Is Choking The Caribbean's White Sand Beaches, Fueling An Economic And Public Health Crisis

Sargassum events have been occurring more frequently and are lasting longer, and the amount of algae is increasing. The situation has gotten so bad that NOAA created a weekly sargassum inundation risk index in collaboration with the University of South Florida. They have predicted that 2024 will be another terrible year for the Caribbean.
