Wastewater Application Notes

  1. VFD Energy Savings For Pumping Applications 4/6/2017

    In the early days of variable frequency drive (VFD) technology, the typical application was in process control for manufacturing synthetic fiber, steel bars, and aluminum foil.

  2. Recording & Control: Online Data Recording And Control In Anaerobic Digestion Processes 11/1/2019

    Solids present in wastewater need to be safely and comprehensively treated and removed. This means not only removing toxic compounds, including both organic and inorganic materials such as heavy metals, but also eliminating any harmful bacteria present in the solids.

  3. Determining Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) With Lovibond® OxiDirect 3/12/2026

    The Biochemical Oxygen Demand over a testing period of n days (BODn) is precisely defined and associated with experimental standards. It represents the quantity of oxygen aspirated in the course of aerobic breakdown of organic substances by microorganisms.

  4. How To Optimize Your DAF System With Air Dissolving Pumps 9/6/2024

    Despite their importance in modern wastewater applications, not all DAFs are created equal. Factors, such as the components that make up these systems, will influence how well they work and how long they last.

  5. Instruments For Environmental Applications 10/29/2021

    Keeping the water in our lakes, rivers, and streams clean requires monitoring of water quality at many points. Over the years ever increasing environmental concerns and regulations have heightened the need for increased diligence and tighter restrictions on wastewater quality.

  6. Dissolved Oxygen Measurement 11/11/2013

    One of the most important measurements in the determination of the health of a body of water is its dissolved oxygen content. The quantity of dissolved oxygen in water is normally expressed in parts per million (ppm) by weight and is due to the solubility of oxygen from the atmosphere around us.

  7. Pile Cloth Media Filtration Effectively Removes COD And TSS From Oil Refinery Wastewater 12/6/2023

    This application profile focuses on two test sites with different treatment requirements and describes how Aqua-Aerobic Systems’ OptiFiber® pile cloth media filtration was used at both sites to address the removal of harmful constituents from refinery wastewater.

  8. Is ORP Really Your Best Option For Dechlorination Measurement? 7/8/2024

    In this application note, explore considerations for achieving more reliable accuracy when quantifying dechlorination results for applications ranging from RO membrane protection to wastewater discharge compliance.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
