Wastewater Application Notes

1. Combining Decentralized And Centralized Wastewater Treatment Strategies To Solve Community Challenges 3/14/2019

   To sustain the environment and smart community growth while protecting public health, engineers, municipal health officials, and regulators need innovative wastewater treatment solutions. The latest evolution of decentralized systems can efficiently handle residential and commercial daily flows and are a cost-effective alternative to the large, centralized wastewater treatment plants of the past. 

2. 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

3. 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.

4. Alcoholic Beverage Fusel Alcohol Testing With Static Headspace 9/2/2014

   A static headspace method was developed using Teledyne Tekmar automated headspace vial samplers to meet the method requirements of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the US Department of the Treasury (TTB) method SSD: TM:2001 for testing fusel alcohols in alcoholic beverages.
