Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

1. Use Of Pure Oxygen To Resolve Capacity And Odor Problems 7/27/2017

   The Escalon Industrial Waste Water Treatment Facility’s service area is seasonal and centered on tomato and pickle processing. The production season (roughly mid-July through mid-October) sees high hydraulic- and BOD loads that strain the facility’s capacity. During the high season highly variable BOD load depletes DO and causes permit violations and odor complaints. Praxair installed 4 X 15 HP Medium Velocity Oxygenation (MVO™ oxygenation system), with the ability to deliver up to 6 TPD of oxygen to supplement the existing aeration capacity at the facility.

2. How To Score High Marks For Low-Pressure RO Performance 1/22/2020

   For water system operators, contract engineers, OEMs, and reverse-osmosis (RO) membrane suppliers alike, the difference between expectations for RO membrane element performance and quantifiable performance in the actual operating environment can be fraught with surprises. This article addresses guidelines for establishing realistic RO warranty performance criteria and achieving those criteria in real-world applications.

3. The Shifting Challenges Of Wastewater Testing 11/22/2013

   Wastewater constituents are getting more plentiful and complex, requiring more advanced tools to maintain regulatory compliance.

4. How To Introduce New Products Into The Water Space: A Case Study 7/9/2019

7. Conversion From Chlorine To UV Treatment In Auburn, Alabama 10/23/2013

   The city of Auburn, AL has two wastewater treatment facilities – the Northside Water Pollution Control Facility and the H.C. Morgan Water Pollution Control Facility. In 2012, the H.C. Morgan facility was upgraded, and treatment was converted from chlorine to UV. This case study will provide you with details about the selection process, why our TrojanUVSigna™ was chosen, and how we helped simplified the conversion from chlorine.

8. Case Study: Incorporating Innovative Stormwater Management Technologies Into A Sustainable Integrated Use System 3/13/2009
   AquaShield, Inc. showcased a sustainable approach to water management using various stormwater treatment and water conservation technologies at their new corporate headquarters in Chattanooga, TN, with Congressman Zach Wamp as the keynote speaker for the event. Working with a blank canvas for a new building and site design, AquaShield decided to put into practice what many just talk about when it comes to implementing environmentally friendly practices.

9. Submersible Pumps Eliminate Flood Damage Concerns At LaGuardia Airport 1/23/2014

   During Hurricane Sandy, La Guardia Airport’s five stormwater pump stations lost power, resulting in flooding of an estimated 100 million gallons of water.  The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey quickly moved up its planned renovations and installed nine axial flow pumps capable of moving large volumes of water at low heads. The propeller-type pumps have motors that are invulnerable to submersion during high-water incidents, improving the airport’s stormwater control, flexibility, and operational efficiency.

10. UV Kind Of Town, Chicago Is 6/22/2018

    The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) — of which the Terrence J. O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) is part of — has made a number of upgrades to its treatment process in recent years.
