Wastewater Application Notes

1. Sink Or Swim: A Comparison Of Submersible And Surface Mixers For Anoxic And Anaerobic Tank Mixing 9/18/2017

   With increasing requirements for enhanced nutrient removal, many wastewater plants are adding anoxic and/or anaerobic tanks in their secondary treatment systems. There are multiple options for enhanced nutrient removal including, but not limited to, the A2O (Anaerobic, Anoxic, Aerobic) process, the UCT or MUCT (Modified University of Cape Town) process and the Bardenpho process.

2. Managing Storm And Surface Water With ForeSITE UL Monitoring System 2/6/2024

   As flooding increases along coastal and river-adjacent communities, the need for low-cost, reliable monitoring and warning systems has become a critical factor for managing these issues in real time, without requiring major infrastructure overhauls.

3. Remote Monitoring And Maintenance Through Digitalization 3/17/2020

   Siemens offers to our customers the ability to make both process measurements, and to remotely monitor the activity and health of instrumentation, whether you have a SCADA, PLC or DCS system, or not. By utilizing Siemens’ ability to offer unparalleled flow, level, pressure, temperature, and weight measurement we can provide a broad range of process measurements and offer unequaled monitoring of the health and performance of those products.

4. Harmonics Reduction Methods 4/17/2017

   There are several basic methods for reducing harmonic voltage and current distortion from nonlinear distribution loads such as adjustable frequency drives (AFDs). Following is a description of each method, along with each method’s advantages and disadvantages.

5. Best Practices In Moist And Wet Gas Flow 12/20/2021

   The Wet Gas MASSter sensor is for use in applications that have a high level of moisture or condensation present in the gas flow stream that cannot otherwise be removed.

6. Textile Manufacturing 10/29/2021

   The textile manufacturing industry encompasses many and diverse processes that rely heavily on the use of water, energy, chemicals, and other resources. Wet spinning, sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerization, dyeing and printing are just a few. Monitoring and controlling the pH, TDS/Conductivity/Salt Concentration, ORP (REDOX), and Temperature of the aqueous solutions used in these processes conserves costly resources, controls quality, and reduces the amount of pollution that must be treated before discharge of effluent wastes. This can be done manually with handheld instruments or automatically with in-line monitor/controllers.

7. Removal Of PFCs With Activated Carbon 12/30/2013

   In recent years, various perflorinated chemicals (PFCs) have come under increasing scrutiny due to their presence in the environment, in animals, and in human blood samples. There are two major classes of PFCs: perfluoroalkyl sulfonates such as perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and long chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylates such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA).

8. Optimizing Air Flows To Aeration Basins 4/17/2014

   As a result of clean energy mandates and the rising cost of energy, wastewater treatment facilities around the country are retrofitting their instrumentation to run highly efficient, cost-effective, clean facilities. To reduce emissions and produce clean energy, solid wastes are often digested in large digester tanks to reduce the volume of waste (sludge) and produce more biogas, which is then used as fuel in the cogeneration process. However, a clean environment calls for not just clean air and clean energy, but clean water as well.

9. Municipal Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring 9/24/2020

   We arm municipalities with actionable data necessary to make informed decisions about water quality in their communities

10. LLT100 Laser Level Measurement In Water And Wastewater 3/12/2020

    In the water and wastewater market segment, the LLT100 laser level transmitter provides an efficient way to measure levels of liquids.
