Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. How The Industry Can Take On Wipes In The Waste Stream – And Win 8/20/2015

    This is the first of a three-part series examining wipes in the waste stream. This first installment looks specifically at the growth of disposable wipes usage within the last decade.

  2. Thrust Restraint Design Of Vertical Offsets And Tees 11/3/2020

    There are numerous fitting combinations and configurations that are used in the everyday construction of pressurized water lines. This report describes vertical offsets, tees, and using joint restraint products to simplify their installation. The use of joint restraint products virtually eliminates thrust blocks and tie rods.

  3. UV Treatment Upgrades In Wales 8/26/2025

    In order to improve the treatment performance (because of the continued cost to maintain compliance), and ensure that it would eventually have the treatment capacity to meet future population growth equivalent of up to 225,000, Swansea WwTW was in need of an equipment upgrade.

  4. Easier, Faster, And Safer Option For Measuring Total Nitrogen 7/23/2018

    Total nitrogen (TN) has become a compound of concern because of its impact on eutrophication on water sources. And as more states begin to set limits for TN, accurate testing becomes paramount. Unfortunately, multiple labs and variable test procedures can lead to disparities in final results. Many of today’s test methods are also time consuming, expensive, and even unsafe for lab technicians to use.

  5. Washer Compactor Chute Extends 30ft Vertically, Delivers Dry Screenings Up Multiple Floors Without Additional Components 2/20/2018

    The West Bay County WWTP, rated for 10 MGD and seeing an average flow of 4.5-6 MGD; prior to the installation of the Duperon® Washer Compactor, the plant collected approximately 20 yards of debris each week.

  6. From Challenge & Prize Competition To Test Prototype: The Nitrogen Sensor That Could Change Residential Onsite Wastewater Treatment 1/21/2022

    More than one in five households in the United States depend on septic or onsite systems to treat their wastewater. These systems provide critical water quality infrastructure, but they usually are not designed to remove nitrogen to the point that sufficiently protects coastal marine ecosystems. As a result, septic systems are known to contribute to eutrophication (excess nutrients), hypoxia (low levels of oxygen), and harmful algal blooms in marine and estuarine waters.

  7. Self-Cleaning Lift Stations And Hydroscreen Drastically Increase Efficiency In Brewery 4/14/2014

    ClearBlu provided duplexing in-ground lift stations and a self-cleaning waterfall hydroscreen for the brewery who self-installed the equipment.  ClearBlu design and instructions made it possible for the brewery to install the lift stations and screen themselves, as well as to have the screen stand fabricated locally.  ClearBlu lift stations are fabricated from fiberglass which resists deterioration from acidic wastewater and are self-cleaning.  Round basins can be stirred so that they never have to be cleaned out.

  8. MABR Is The Big Cheese For This Dairy Farming WWTP 1/29/2018

    Hayogev is a residential development in the rural area of Jezreel Valley, with 1000 homes, agricultural fields and dairy farms. Located in an open field next to small farms, the local treatment facility handles wastewater from HaYogev and Midrach Oz. The customer was looking for a localized wastewater treatment solution to replace the existing pond system, which faced difficulties in treating the wastewater due to high levels of nutrients. A new state-level regulation concerning reclaimed water required the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operator to reduce the nutrients in the effluent stream. The solution had to be odorless and quiet, have low power consumption, and use the existing pond and structure.

  9. Jefferson Parish Prevents Odor And Corrosion Issues With BlueInGreen's SDOX-CS Solution 2/1/2021

    Officials at the Jefferson Parish Sewerage Department approached the team at Digital Engineering to find a long-term solution for the odor and corrosion issues throughout the East Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant. 

  10. Higher Flux Rate Operation With The Fuzzy Filter 2/7/2018

    As greater restrictions and increased capacities are being placed on industrial & municipal plants, filtration systems are being pushed to greater operating levels. The Fuzzy Filter has enjoyed a distinct advantage over conventional media and disc type filters by virtue of its ability to operate at over 5 times conventional flux rates while maintaining effluent quality better than these technologies.
