Wastewater Application Notes

  1. FLEX-TEND® Flexible Expansion Joints, Features And Specifications 12/3/2020

    FLEX-TEND® flexible expansion joints are designed to protect structures and pipelines from differential movement whether this movement is earthquake induced or the gradual motion of soil subsidence. This bulletin offers a concise listing and discussion of the important features and materials of the double and single ball assemblies.

  2. Monitoring IWW Effluents With FP 360 sc Oil-In-Water Sensor 5/14/2024

    This application note explores a test which demonstrated significant improvements in Oil-in-Water monitoring of industrial wastewater in comparison to the weekly grab sample analysis method.

  3. Application Note: Dairy Farms Use YSI Instruments To Map Volume Of Wastewater Lagoons 8/4/2011
    On July 1, 2010, dairy farm waste management plans are due to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. By YSI
  4. Microbial Control In Cheese Making 12/5/2014

    Microbial contamination of food and beverage products is a potentially catastrophic occurrence resulting in foodborne illness or food spoilage. The same nutritive properties that render cheese and dairy products such a valuable food also provide an ideal growth medium for microbes if contamination occurs.

  5. Comparison Of Ultra Low Range Total Chlorine Residual Limits Of Detection And Quantitation Across The Water Industry 7/8/2024

    Limits of Detection and Quantitation are key to understanding analytical instrumentation capabilities, especially when non-optimal process control can lead to damage of sensitive equipment due to insufficiently accurate readings.

  6. Repair Or Rethink 8/7/2015

    The Moundsville Wastewater Treatment Plant in West Virginia chooses not to fix a broken blower unit, but rather to correct an outdated approach. The result is a savings of $50-60K a year in energy costs.

  7. Degradation Of Pharmaceuticals By Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) In Low Quality Wastewater 3/27/2025
  8. Reduce SBR Maintenance Costs With Jet Aeration 6/16/2017

    Aeration has been a primary method for treating municipal and industrial wastewater for over a century. It is a natural way to reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD) and control odors. In the SBR process, aeration helps foster nitrification by bubbling air through the mixture of wastewater and activated sludge, encouraging the multiplication of aerobic microbes which consume nutrients and convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrates.

  9. 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.

  10. Bridge Crossings And The Proper Use Of EX-TEND®, FLEX-TEND®, And Force Balanced FLEX-TEND Products 11/1/2020

    Of particular interest when it comes to bridges is the locating of pressurized water lines on and under bridge structures. Pressurized pipelines can present a number of unique challenges to the design engineer and utility owner.
