Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. How To Balance Dissolved Oxygen Levels For Maximum Efficiency 5/26/2020

    While dissolved oxygen (DO) levels are critical considerations in aerobic wastewater treatment processes, not every application maintains a consistent level of demand. How industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) track and fulfill those needs make a big difference in the optimum performance and cost-efficiency of their operations.

  2. Solving Pump Clogs Without Spawning A Million New Problems 8/7/2020

    With all the potential debris running through wastewater collection systems — including higher concentrations of “flushable” wipes than ever — the debate over chopping them to bits, or not, has become a fundamental question for wastewater utilities. Now, new perspectives and new mechanisms are giving wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators new opportunities for cutting the wipes problem down to size.

  3. Best Strategies For Monitoring And Control Of Ozone And Biologically Active Filtration Systems 7/12/2024

    There are many ways to monitor and control ozonation and biologically active filtration systems and operators need to know which one will work best for the intended application.

  4. Using Ozone In Advanced Oxidation 1/15/2019

    The advanced oxidation process removes contaminants in water and wastewater by oxidation through reactions with highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (.OH). This chemical process uses ozone (O3), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and/or UV light.

  5. Screen Provides Critical Protection At 25 MGD MBR In North Las Vegas 8/3/2016

    North Las Vegas’s field facility is an MBR plant that was brand new when Huber’s rotary fine screens were implemented as part of its new water treatment and reclamation process. The facility is “smart,” using a level of technology at which few large plants operate. Huber’s advanced fine screening technology plays a key role in the impressive and innovative technology lineup.

  6. The Difficulty With Accurate Testing For BOD In Industrial Stormwater Runoff 3/18/2020

    Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is a measure of the amount of dissolved oxygen used by microorganisms to break down organic material in a sample of water. As they do so, these microorganisms deplete the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, which can be deadly for aquatic species like fish that rely on dissolved oxygen to live. Because of this hazard to aquatic life, BOD is considered an adverse pollutant in natural waterways where healthy ecosystems are protected. Several states have identified BOD as a pollutant-of-concern related to runoff of stormwater from areas that are associated with industrial activities, and, as a result, have specified water quality limits or objectives for BOD in stormwater discharges from industrial facilities.

  7. CCD Technology Succeeds With Well Water Purification 7/15/2014

    The Kittansett Golf Club in Marion, Massachusetts is rated one of America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses by Golf Digest Magazine.

  8. Targeting Need-Based Maintenance To Reduce Sewer Overflows 4/26/2021

    Whether addressing sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), combined sewer overflows (CSOs), or storm sewer systems, the idea of advanced strategic insight is key to minimizing damage or public health risks caused by overflow events. Here is a look at how concentrating on the most at-risk areas first — with a focus on overflow prevention — can offer better control for wastewater utilities of all sizes, as it is doing for the city of Houston, TX.

  9. Multicore Turbo Blower Demonstration Project A Success In Kansas 5/5/2021

    The City of Wichita wastewater utility was recently grappling with a difficult issue -- new nutrient limit targets. Kansas asked the city to optimize its operations to achieve those levels.

  10. The Proper Application Of Rotary Lobe And Rotary Screw Blower Technology 9/28/2017

    Written by Kaeser’s system experts, this white paper compares rotary lobe and screw blowers, isochoric and isentropic compression, and how to properly apply these technologies for designing an energy efficient system.
