Wastewater Application Notes

  1. 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.

  2. Flow Monitoring In The Partially Filled Discharge Of A Rainwater Retention Basin 9/19/2022

    Read about managing water discharge into a mixed water drainage system, electromagnetic flow measurement of water loads, and automated discharge control by way of a structure with overflow. 

  3. Lab Gas Sub-Metering Accuracy Improves With Thermal Flow Meters To Save Money 12/1/2017

    Facility administrators will find the advanced ST100 Series Thermal Mass Air/Gas Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) helps them improve the accuracy of specialty gas point of use and sub-metering operations to achieve accurate billing in their labs for better cost tracking and control.

  4. 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.

  5. Pile Cloth Media Filtration Removes 97% Of Microplastics From Wastewater 12/6/2023

    Learn about filtering microplastics from industrial wastewater prior to discharge, and how this is one way to effectively reduce the volume of this waste material from entering our surface water.

  6. Analyzing Total Organic Carbon In Sea Water 4/2/2015

    The analysis of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in seawater can be both challenging and expensive. The concentration of organic carbon in seawater is of considerable interest. The effect this matrix can have on TOC analyzers can lead to rapid consumable turnover, costly maintenance and repairs.

  7. Filter Installations Remove Solids From FGD Scrubber Effluent 4/9/2019

    Power plants and refineries around the world must manage and treat complex effluent waste streams from the Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) process. Flue gas is generated by the combustion process of fossil and fossil-derived fuels, such as coal, oils, and natural gas in power plants. Petrochemical refineries may generate flue gas from a number of different processes, including Catalytic Cracking, Steam Methane Reforming, and Heaters or Furnaces.

  8. Protecting Pumps From Dead Head Conditions 4/6/2017

    The C445 motor management relay offers the most configurable protection options in the industry, with features specifically designed to protect critical pumps from costly damages due to dead-head and other underloaded or starved pump conditions.

  9. Textile Wastewater Treatment — An Application To Sustainably Reuse Water In The Textile Industry 1/30/2019

    The textile industry is a water consumption intensive industry. Water is utilized for cleaning the raw material, and for the different steps in the textile dyeing process. Due to the effects of water scarcity and stricter environmental regulations, the cost of fresh water utilization has increased worldwide.

  10. Greenline In Wastewater Treatment For Pollution Control - Improving Environmental Quality Through Advanced Chemical Dosing Solutions 1/15/2026

    This application note explores how Greenline pumps enhance odor control systems by delivering precise chemical dosing for odor mitigation and pH control, ensuring cleaner air and improved quality of life.
