Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. Brainstorming New Ideas For Improved Stormwater Infrastructure 12/16/2020

    Planning how to address environment-impacting, water-infrastructure challenges — reducing stormwater runoff pollution, reducing sewer overflows, and protecting rivers and streams that serve as drinking water supplies for downstream towns — can be an intimidating task. A recent report from the Environment America Research & Policy Center cites many examples that can serve as beacons for municipalities large and small.

  2. Refinery Treats Groundwater Contamination While Saving Precious Facility Space 3/20/2020

    A large, Midwestern oil refinery installed two identical, 110’ diameter S&L Model R OXIGEST® treatment systems to solve a groundwater treatment problem on-site. Each plant incorporates aeration, clarification, and effluent holding, treating peak flows of 7.2 MGD combined; 4.3 MGD in each plant.

  3. High Quality Tank Coatings: The Best Protection For Rural Water Supplies 9/12/2008
    All liquids – whether wastewater, chemicals, stormwater, potable water or others – are aggressive toward the tanks in which they are stored. Such aggression results in corrosion, the principal enemy of the tank. Corrosion shortens the life of the tank, increases maintenance, and may contaminate the tank’s contents.
  4. Beyond The Concrete: How Packaged Headworks Solve Modern Wastewater Challenges 9/17/2025

    Packaged headworks systems provide flexible, high-quality screening for wastewater applications, offering fast installation, modular design, and low maintenance—ideal for temporary projects, small facilities, or specialized industrial sites.

  5. Planning For The Unknown: How To Prepare For A Catastrophic Failure Of Your Sewer System 4/19/2023

    Contingency planning for sewer system failures is often overlooked. Learn why a successful contingency plan can reduce costs, save reputations, and protect public health.

  6. Pressure Sewers Can Save Millions 7/20/2017

    Alternative wastewater collection systems, such as pressure sewers, provide affordable service to municipalities, new subdivisions, and areas where gravity sewers are difficult and expensive to install.

  7. EPA Researchers Develop Tool To Assess Onsite Non-Potable Water Reuse For Buildings Across The U.S. 6/2/2021

    Increasing pressure on water resources has led to greater water scarcity and a growing demand for enough clean water. Many communities across the country have initiated, or are in the process of developing, centralized systems for planned water reuse. Water reuse is the concept of intentionally recycling, treating, and reusing alternative water sources. Federal government agencies and the water user community are coordinating their efforts to advance the adoption of water reuse and ensure the security, sustainability, and resilience of water resources. The National Water Reuse Action Plan (WRAP) describes these collaborative actions.

  8. Foods - Biochemical Oxygen Demand And Chemical Oxygen Demand 1/25/2016

    A food manufacturer in Washington state had a source of well water contaminated with vegetable and fish oils. A five gallon sample was was sent to Kaselco for testing via our electrocoagulation process.

  9. Headworks' MS Series Bar Screen Is The Equipment Of Choice For The Puerto Rican Sewer Authority's Caguas Wastewater Treatment Plant 9/1/2014

    Even though it is a small island, Puerto Rico has historically had big issues with sewage treatment. Due to its tropical location in the Caribbean, heavy storms can create unusually large peak flows at the treatment plants.

  10. Next-Gen Water Monitoring: Autonomous And Real-Time Results 2/9/2021

    Municipal, commercial, and industrial water users all face a common issue — how to monitor the quality of the water they use, dispose of, or distribute in a timely, cost-effective manner.
