51. Littleton Installs The Ultimate Grit Removal System For Total Plant Protection 2/3/2021

    The Littleton / Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant, just south of Denver, is the third largest publicly owned treatment works in the state of Colorado. It receives sewage from the cities of Littleton and Englewood, as well as 21 connector districts in a 75-square-mile service area. Farmer’s staff chose to implement an upgraded grit removal system supplied by Hydro International. Two complete HeadCell® systems were implemented – each consisting of one HeadCell® grit separation unit, one SlurryCup™ grit washing unit, and one Grit Snail® grit dewatering escalator.

52. 7 Disadvantages Of Using An Activated Sludge Process For Your Municipality Or Company 2/2/2021

    Biological treatment processes are an important component in many wastewater treatment systems. They are one of the most efficient and effective ways of reducing organic material in wastewater. There are quite a few of them that have been researched and used over several decades. However, one of the most widely used conventional biological treatment process is the activated sludge process (ASP). Many sewage treatment plants use ASP in their secondary treatment steps due to the human and animal organic matter in the inlet waters of wastewater treatment plants.

53. Pros & Cons Of A Moving Bed Bioreactor 2/1/2021

    A moving bed bioreactor is a biological sewage treatment process. In many instances, wastewater is full of organic matter that can be difficult to filter out by physical or chemical means. Thus, one of the best methods of dealing with organic matter is treating it with a biological process. The basic idea behind biological water treatment processes is using micro-organisms to break down sewage.

54. Jefferson Parish Prevents Odor And Corrosion Issues With BlueInGreen's SDOX-CS Solution 2/1/2021

    Officials at the Jefferson Parish Sewerage Department approached the team at Digital Engineering to find a long-term solution for the odor and corrosion issues throughout the East Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant. 

55. City Of Fayetteville Replaces UV Treatment System With BlueInGreen's HyDOZ Solution 2/1/2021

    After researching different ozone systems, plant officials ata 12 MGD wastewater plant in Arkansas chose to install BlueInGreen’s HyDOZ technology in order to more efficiently meet current permit requirements, as well as prepare for future legislation.

56. Tips For Choosing A Jobsite Dewatering System 1/21/2021

    Dewatering systems for construction sites aren’t one size fits all. Choosing the most appropriate dewatering system for the job will yield the best results in the least amount of time.

57. Co-Digesting Food Waste With Wastewater Solids To Produce Energy 1/13/2021

    Inspired in part by California’s Senate Bill 1383, which was enacted to reduce organic waste and methane emissions, co-digestion is fulfilling those goals while converting wastewater treatment plants into water resource recovery facilities.

58. How Beneficial Bacteria Are Helping Wastewater Operators Attack Biosolids 10/21/2020

    Sludge handling presents a growing set of challenges for municipal and industrial wastewater operators, who are increasingly turning toward a natural solution. This alternative method results in a reduced biosolids load that lowers hauling and tipping fees, reduces process energy costs, cuts down odors, and fosters the natural cleaning of pipes and fittings.

59. Wastewater Sample Savings From Test Treatment Program 9/21/2020

    Lower tipping and hauling fees, plant and site odor, processing times and more for the waste industries.

60. Bench Test Instructions For Your Case Study 9/20/2020

    Natura Solve provides a complex liquid medium that is produced via a proprietary fermentation process. It consists of a selected spectrum of naturally occurring microorganisms, sustained within a matrix of micro elements and macro elements that provide the critical building blocks for respiration and growth. Thus it simultaneously works as both a biocatalyst, stimulating endogenous bacteria metabolic and production rate and a specialized delivery medium for the highly effective bacteria. The formula is very aggressive due to the essential balance between the selected groups of microorganisms, which, when combined with the enzymes they produce, synergistically create catalyzing proteins that significantly speed up the biochemical reactions and natural decomposition processes of the organic material into humic matter.
