Wastewater Application Notes

  1. Determination Of Pesticide Residues In Honey, By An Automated QuEChERS Solution 9/17/2014

    The QuEChERS (Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe) sample extraction method was developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities.

  2. Why Measuring Hydrogen Sulfide In Wastewater Matters 7/11/2024

    Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas in wastewater environments is a familiar concern. But waiting until its odor is detected can be too late to exert as much control over it as desired. Fortunately, a new ability to monitor H2S concentrations — in the liquid wastewater stream, in real time — is advantageous for wastewater professionals in terms of safety, cost, and consumer complaints. Here are four ways to capitalize on that capability.

  3. Reducing Total Phosphorus In Water Resource Recovery Facilities 9/10/2014

    Monitoring phosphate during the wastewater treatment process allows for fine-tuning and optimizing chemical dosing for removal of phosphate, which provides significant cost savings to the plant while protecting the aquatic environment downstream of the facility.

  4. Biosolids Odor And Corrosion Control 7/8/2024

    For more than 20 years, USP Technologies’ comprehensive biosolids odor and corrosion control solutions have been extremely effective at reducing sulfides and other odor causing compounds in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment systems.

  5. Determination Of Polar Pesticide Residues In Food Of Plant Origin, By And Automate QuPPe Solution 9/29/2014

    The QuEChERS (Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe) sample extraction method was developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities.

  6. Understanding The Different Phosphorus Tests 3/30/2026

    In wastewater treatment, phosphorus testing can quickly become confusing. For example, there are three different tests. So, which test was performed? Test results can be displayed in two different forms. So, which form was utilized? Tests can measure both particulate and dissolved phosphorus. So, was the sample filtered?

  7. What Are You Doing To My Pipe: Can PVC Pipe Be Loaded? 4/13/2021

    The argument has been used that PVC pipe is delicate and can’t be subjected to any kind of loading. In EBAA's years of testing we have found that is not the case at all. PVC can take an extreme amount of strain.

  8. Mapping And Identifying The Source Of Water Quality Issues 6/28/2017

    A Southern U.S. municipality experiencing taste and odor issues in a certain neighborhood was also having difficulty maintaining chlorine residual levels in the area. Biological growth was suspected, however, water leaving the treatment plant met and exceeded all water quality requirements. After several investigations, the source of contamination in the distribution system could still not be identified.

  9. AquaSBR Systems Above 10 MGD 12/6/2023

    This application note will explore installations of AquaSBR Systems worldwide in a variety of municipal and industrial applications. 

  10. Primary Wastewater Treatment: Influent Monitoring 11/10/2013

    The raw sewage entering a wastewater treatment plant comes from a variety of sources. In addition to effluent from domestic users, effluent from industrial users and storm water run off can be present.
