SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

PFAS Removal System Proven Effective In Removing Both Long And Short Chain PFAS

A new system removed all nine PFAS compounds from a municipality's water to non-detect levels in a single pass. Unlike traditional methods, it addresses both long- and short-chain PFAS while generating minimal waste.

 

Aries Arsenic Reduction

Arsenic has no smell, taste, or color when dissolved in water even in high concentrations. Long-term exposure to arsenic can cause a number of harmful effects on the human body including cancer, skin lesions, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, among others.

Groundwater Remediation Uncovered: Effective Methods You Need To Know

Because groundwater accounts for upwards of 40% of the world’s drinking water, it is imperative that these areas are treated and the pollutants removed and converted into harmless products. This process is known as groundwater remediation.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

ATAD Provides Increased Capacity With No Odors

Faced with persistent odor complaints and limited space, Douglas County Sewer District #1 in East Wenatchee, Washington, turned to the ThermAer second-generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) system to modernize its biosolids treatment.

 

Mobile Equipment Reduces Phosphorus In Wastewater Effluent

The City of Rosemount, Minnesota, was seeking treatment for phosphorus in the effluent discharge from the city's wastewater treatment plant. The customer's 0.75 MGD facility was permitted to discharge wastewater with a maximum average monthly total phosphorus level of 1.0 mg/L.

Aqua TruDense Provides Additional Capacity, Improves Settling, And Achieves Enhanced Nutrient Removal

A densified sludge process can improve wastewater treatment by promoting larger, denser sludge particles. This enhances settling, improves nutrient removal, and increases treatment capacity.
