Guidelines For Biocide Performance Assessment Using 2nd Generation ATP
11/24/2020
The following are guidelines for execution of biocide performance studies (or ‘kill studies’) on industrial process samples such as oilfield process waters, pulp and paper process waters, metalworking samples, fuels and fuel-associated waters. These guidelines have been generated to leverage the unique features of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) monitoring test kits from LuminUltra Technologies Ltd. which include provisions to minimize interferences from various sources including suspended particles, organic molecules, heavy metals, dissolved solids, residual biocides and extra-cellular ATP.

Video Case Study: SPIRALIFT® SR Provides Septage Receiving Solution
11/23/2020
The Willits, California Wastewater Treatment Plant services over 10,000 residents and receives 750 loads of septage each year, but found they had a serious problem. Heavy septage from “honey trucks” was dumped by haulers into its wet well which clogged the plant’s pumps and caused flow channels to overrun. The plant also lacked oversight as to who was pumping and what was being pumped into its system. It could not control the pH level of the wastewater.

Grinders, Shredders And Comminutors – An Evolving Technology
11/20/2020
Comminution technology has been evolving quite rapidly in response to the increasing burden entrained solids have placed on treatment facilities. More advanced devices have been developed in rapid succession. The result has been an exciting and fluid race between the leading manufacturers to develop the best size reduction device. The latest grinder innovations to be introduced have coupled the power of twin shaft grinding with higher flow capabilities and screw screening systems. Here’s a rundown on the past and present state of the art in wastewater solids reduction.

Digital Predictive Maintenance Drives Water Industry Productivity
11/19/2020
The adoption of Industry 4.0 continues to gather pace, with industrial digitalization leading the way. The water processing industry in particular has seen a steady increase in digital adoption and the sector has in fact overtaken other industries. For example, water was one of the first industries to really make full use of predictive maintenance to extend the life of aging assets and improve operational efficiency. James Chalmers, Vice President, Global Water & Wastewater Sales at ABB, outlines the advantages of this approach.

Durable Screen Line Expanded To Meet Vertical And High-Flow Applications
11/18/2020
Water and wastewater plant operators often encounter challenging screening situations that aren’t well served by conventional products. This includes deep channel applications, where space is very limited, as well as high-flow applications. To address these growing demands, Parkson recently expanded its Aqua Caiman® line to include the Aqua Caiman® Vertical and Aqua Caiman® HD.

Septage Receiving Challenges & Solutions
11/18/2020
Septage disposal requirements have come a long way since the days when haulers could simply discharge their loads into an open pit at a sewage treatment plant or off-load them into a field or lagoon. This process was often neither regulated nor monitored. Haulers submitted their own estimates of what and how much they dumped for billing purposes. This practice created a very real threat of ground water, lake and stream contamination.
