  1. Sensitivity Analysis With InfoWorks WS Pro 11/6/2020

    How critical is the telemetry initialization of your hydraulic model when assessing the impact of an incident?

  2. How To Find Critical Pipe Bursts 11/6/2020

    While there are commonalities for the chief causes of burst pipes (i.e. frozen pipes, water pressure, corrosion, etc.), the impact of each pipe burst will vary depending on the burst size, duration, location, time of the day, and many other parameters.

  3. Evaluating Low-HP Pump Technology To Run Cool In Hot Environments 11/6/2020

    Utilities, consulting engineers, and OEMs concerned about protecting low-horsepower pumps against overheating in ‘dry-pit’ (non-submerged pump) applications appreciate new designs that can negate historic problems prone to cause excessive pump maintenance or premature replacement. While all submersible pumps rely primarily on the pumped fluid for cooling, certain designs can better tolerate today’s debris-laden wastewater to keep processes flowing without costly workarounds. Here’s how.

  4. UF/RO System Treating Mine-Influenced Water To Remove Selenium 11/6/2020

    A Phosphorus mine in Wyoming needed to treat high selenium concentrations leaching into the surface water. A 3-month pilot study of a UF/RO system was conducted to reduce selenium levels under the US EPA's maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 0.05 mg/L, and mitigate impact to the ecosystem, especially aquatic species. Read the full case study to learn how Toray's high-rejection energy-efficient RO (TMGD series) removed the selenium at reduced feed pressures, projected to save the plant energy costs for years.

  5. Membrane Technologies Achieve Zero Liquid Discharge In India's Special Economic Zone 11/6/2020

    Zydus Infrastructure operates the Pharmez Special Economic Zone (SEZ) near Ahmedabad, where a 'common effluent treatment plant' (CETP) collects industrial wastewater from 12 pharmaceutical sites, treating it via clarification, followed by a 750 KLD membrane bioreactor (MBR) process.

  6. Retrofit Expansion Of An Ultrafiltration System Using TORAYFIL™ UF Modules 11/6/2020

    The Brazos Regional Public Utility Agency (BRPUA) in Texas operates the Surface Water and Treatment System (SWATS) that treats water from Lake Granbury, fed by the Brazos River. The SWATS facility first began operating in 1988 with clarification, dual media filtration, and electrodialysis reversal (EDR). The plant was upgraded in 2001 to include ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane treatment to produce higher quality effluent.

  7. County Drastically Cuts Costs With DIMMINUTOR® 11/5/2020

    Fairfield Wastewater Treatment Plant in Butler County, Ohio was having a lot of trouble with their grinders. The plant serves over 42,500 domestic customers, a number of commercial and industrial institutions as well as Mercy Hospital of Fairfield. They treat about five million gallons of wastewater collected in over 175 miles of sewer pipe each day.

  8. How AI Optimizes The Chemical Treatment Of Wastewater 11/5/2020

    Wastewater treatment is a complex process that has largely remained unchanged for the last 100 years. Besides the physical and biological processes, the chemical treatment of wastewater is the third and perhaps the most crucial part of sewage processing and wastewater treatment practices. Typical operations include the processing of sewage/effluent through various stages of comprehensive chemical treatment, like pH neutralization, oxidation, ion exchange, coagulation, and flocculation.

  9. Elevating Lift Station Performance With Smart Pump Technology 11/4/2020

    Wastewater collection pumping, by its nature, is a harsh environment application compounded by foreign objects that find their way into the system. Non-clog pumps built on a series of smart principles — smart design, smart control, and smart analytics — can reduce maintenance demands, extend pump life, and minimize total lifecycle costs. Here is how such an approach can work under real-world challenges in the field.

  10. Detect Sewer Blockages, Inflow, And Infiltration More Quickly And Accurately 11/4/2020

    Whether they occur in traditional problem areas or pop up as surprises after a heavy downpour, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) create multiple headaches for wastewater utilities — regulatory penalties, consent decrees, upsets in wastewater treatment trains, etc. Here is how knowing more about their ‘hidden’ causes can keep them in check.
