  1. Advanced On-Site Wastewater Treatment For Greenfield And Retrofit Applications 7/15/2019

    Many owners and operators of traditional decentralized municipal wastewater treatment plants, also referred to as on-site or off-grid treatment, are acutely aware their systems are at risk of becoming obsolete.

  2. Membrane Technologies In Containerized Units Allow For Installation In A Small Footprint 4/23/2018

    After an international tender process, the Israel Electric Company (IEC) chose Fluence to design, manufacture, and supply containerized ultrapure water production systems for use as makeup water for heat-recovery steam generators (HRSG) and for NOx emission reduction at recently upgraded power plants across Israel. More than 15 units of 20 m3/h production modules, each fitted in two 40-foot shipping containers, were provided to seven power plants. Their compact design allowed for ease of installation, operation, and maintenance while meeting the customer’s demanding engineering standards.

  3. MABR Is The Big Cheese For This Dairy Farming WWTP 1/29/2018

    Hayogev is a residential development in the rural area of Jezreel Valley, with 1000 homes, agricultural fields and dairy farms. Located in an open field next to small farms, the local treatment facility handles wastewater from HaYogev and Midrach Oz. The customer was looking for a localized wastewater treatment solution to replace the existing pond system, which faced difficulties in treating the wastewater due to high levels of nutrients. A new state-level regulation concerning reclaimed water required the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operator to reduce the nutrients in the effluent stream. The solution had to be odorless and quiet, have low power consumption, and use the existing pond and structure.

  4. Fluence's MABR For Wastewater Treatment features Passive Aeration And Saves Up To 90% On Energy Costs 10/26/2017

    The Bordeaux region of St. Thomas had a pressing need for a wastewater treatment plant that produces high effluent quality. Its existing plant was old and did not meet regulation nor industry standards. Fluence, together with its partner SD&C Inc., built an MABR-based wastewater treatment plant from the ground up, utilizing whatever existing pieces of equipment could be used from the old plant.

  5. Cooling Tower Blowdown Wastewater Treatment For Reuse 8/25/2017

    Megalim Solar Power Ltd’s Power Station, located in Israel’s northern Negev desert, will be the first utility-scale solar thermal or concentrated solar power (CSP) plant in operation in Israel when completed. To minimize fresh water usage in the cooling cycle and boiler makeup of the power plant, Fluence designed and supplied a containerized system for treatment of cooling tower blowdown wastewater for reuse and the production of ultrapure water (UPW).

  6. Packaged Wastewater Treatment For Guantanamo Bay 7/28/2017

    In 2001, with the growing population at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, and expected future growth, a wastewater treatment system was needed to handle the increase in flows. Fluence worked directly with the United States Navy to design an advanced wastewater treatment plant to meet those needs. The intent was to supply four or five large packaged wastewater treatment systems at different locations around the base.

  7. How To Utilize Energy-Efficient Aerators 6/23/2017

    Aerators are a central component of wastewater treatment operations and can play a vital role in treating freshwater bodies as well. However, aeration equipment can be an energy consumption pain point for the bottom line of any operation.

  8. Anaerobic And Aerobic Treatment Solution For Papermill Wastewater 6/8/2017

    Cartiere di Tivoli papermill, headquartered in Villa Adriana, Tivoli, Italy, produces jumbo paper for corrugated board and tissue for industrial use. The plant produces over 300 ton/d of paper products. The plant’s wastewater treatment equipment was outdated and the discharge did not meet permit levels.

  9. Solar-Powered Circulators Turn Around WWTP Lagoon's Issues 2/28/2017

    For years, the wastewater treatment plant in Villa Mercedes, David City, Panama emitted harsh odors and created a rampant mosquito population, a situation the neighboring residents found impossible to deal with. Treatment at the plant needed improvement to successfully treat up to 4.6 million gallons of wastewater per day, eliminate harsh odors and reduce the mosquito population.

  10. Fluence Aerators Improve Lagoon Aeration at Recycled Paper Plant 5/23/2016

    Pronal, a recycled paper plant, produces craft paper. The plant produces an average flow of 14,000 m3/day (3.7 MGD) of wastewater with high contents of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
