Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. Xylem Engages In Award-Winning Rehab And Bypass Project With North Carolina Utility 1/30/2020

    The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) in North Carolina engaged in a capital improvement project to help address their aging infrastructure.

  2. CAGI Data Sheets: Blower Performance Comparison Technical White Paper 2/13/2018

    Comparing blower performances across different manufacturers and technologies has long been a difficult task. For many years, it was all too easy to present data that, although accurate, was potentially misleading. Manufacturers were selective about what information they published as well as what conditions they chose to specify performance. The result was a numbers game the buyer frequently lost. Fortunately, the Compressed Air and Gas Institute (CAGI), in cooperation with its members, has developed a tool for a fair comparison between blowers.

  3. Black Liquor Evaporation And Chloride Removal System 3/4/2015

    The Smurfit-Stone Hopewell mill needed to replace the existing three evaporator trains that were currently in place at this facility with one very highly integrated system.

  4. Headworks Bio Commissions First IFAS System In Costa Rica 1/2/2015

    In late 2013, Headworks Bio Inc. was awarded a contract with General Contractor Soluciones Tecnicas Ambientales, S.A. (SOLAMSA) to supply an IFAS system to upgrade the existing Ptar El Roble conventional activated sludge (CAS) treatment facility in Puntarenas, Costa Rica — the first IFAS installation in the country.

  5. Energy And Resource Recovery: Generating Resources, Not Waste Streams 2/24/2014

    “Sludge-to-energy” is trending in wastewater treatment, but what technologies have the most potential?

  6. Banish Bromate: Managing Bromate Formation In Your Ozone Disinfection Process

    Until the last decade, bromate was seldom a topic of concern for most treatment facilities. However, an increasing shift toward ozone-based disinfection processes has raised awareness of bromide concentrations in raw water and the potential to form bromate through the disinfection process.

  7. BOD Interceptors: Transforming Wastewater Treatment Plants Into Renewable Energy Resources 2/12/2014

    In communities across the United States, wastewater treatment plants are consuming vast amounts of energy to remove and dispose of energy rich organics. As any government comptroller can attest, the cost of the energy required to run a conventional activated-sludge treatment plant takes up a large portion – up to 40% – of a municipality’s budget.  Ironically, the very substance being treated could produce more than enough energy to run the treatment plant itself.

  8. Aeration Blowers In The Wastewater Industry In North America 1/13/2010

    The economical operation of a wastewater treatment plant depends largely on the design and the interplay of the aeration and process controls. Moreover, the human factor and the management objectives are at the heart of the plant’s reality and should also be taken into consideration. Selection and thoughtful integration of all the subsystems is of paramount importance. By Aerzen

  9. Custom DELUMPER LP Reduces Wet And Sticky Agglomerates 11/18/2020

    When a major global leader in agricultural products needed help reducing wet and sticky agglomerates in a very tight plant location, Franklin Miller was ready with a custom solution.

  10. How To Optimize Flow Measurement For Process Efficiency 12/20/2021

    Busy municipal water engineers will find that the new Water and Wastewater Treatment Guide from Fluid Components International explains how to optimize flow measurement in 20 different municipal applications.
