Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. High-Precision Non-Invasive Temperature Measurement 6/1/2021

    This white paper presents ABB’s new TSP341-N temperature sensor for non-invasive temperature measurement and provides examples for applications and accuracies that can be achieved. The present Edition II of the whitepaper additionally presents the results of a direct comparison of non-invasive temperature measurements with classic measurements in a measuring medium, achieved in realistic conditions. These results emphasize the outstanding suitability of the device for multiple applications.

  2. Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor Technology Validated For Title 22 Compliance 2/13/2019

    Title 22 of California’s Water Recycling Criteria is among the strictest water treatment standards for water recycling and reuse in the United States. Fluence’s MABR demonstration plant was installed at the Codiga Resource Recovery Center (CR2C) in Stanford, California, in January 2018 for the purpose of third-party evaluation. The testing parameters included criteria to evaluate reliable enhanced nutrient removal in the form of Total Nitrogen, which is increasingly important across the United States and difficult and costly to achieve through conventional wastewater treatment.

  3. MBBR/IFAS Upgrade To Dubai Investment Park 6/6/2016

    Dubai Investments Park is a unique, self-contained mixed use industrial, commercial and residential complex operated by Dubai Investments Park Development Company LLC. Spread across an area of 3200 hectares, it is a city within a city offering world-class infrastructure and outstanding facilities and services.

  4. Preparing Wastewater Samples For SARS-CoV-2 Analysis 8/12/2021

    Wastewater is a focal point for public health professionals evaluating levels of COVID-19 community infection. Here are some considerations on the use of membranes for efficient SARS-CoV-2 virus water sample preparation.

  5. Devastated Community Finds Innovative Wastewater Solution 4/15/2020

    The community of Kinglake West was on a waiting list to receive government financing for a new sewer system when, in 2009, a disastrous fire swept through the area. The damage was so extensive that funding for a wastewater collection system was expedited. The new system needed to be up and running as soon as possible, without being an undue financial burden to homeowners.

  6. Improved Mixing And Fine Bubble Aeration Help To Reduce Water Exchange, Shorten Production Cycle And Increase Overall Growth Rates 10/30/2019

    Finca Empacadora de Tilapia Milagro is one of the fastest growing and successful tilapia projects in Central America since its operation started in 2015.

  7. Affordable Headworks Screening Solutions For Low-Flow Applications 12/26/2025

    Small WWTPs can handle inconsistent flows more efficiently using adaptive low-flow screening and compaction technologies that stabilize water levels, reduce wear, prevent blinding, and shrink debris volume and weight.

  8. Cost And Complexity Continue To Constrain Sustainability And Resiliency Efforts: Survey 6/15/2023

    According to Black & Veatch's 2023 Water Report, sustainability is considered a critical strategic focus by the majority of water utility stakeholders. The report surveys roughly 450 water industry stakeholders on topics ranging from climate change to regulations to federal funding programs.

  9. Chemical Feeders: A Guide To Successful Start-Up And Operation 10/5/2020

    Disinfection is essential to municipal water treatment — for both producing a quality product and meeting environmental discharge limits — but the dosing process can be expensive and tedious if not administered efficiently. By carefully evaluating key factors in equipment selection and operation, water and wastewater management professionals can ensure their systems are running as efficiently and effectively as possible.

  10. HST Turbocompressor Survives Category 4 Hurricane 4/1/2020

    Victoria, Texas, is a small South Texas town of approx. 65’000 people just 30 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. This area is considered as humid subtropical, and the temperatures regularly exceed 100°F for the months of June through August. A record high temperature of 111°F was recorded in September 2000 and a record low of 9°F in December 1989. This location displays one of the most extreme temperature differentials in the United States. The HST high-speed blower was used in the new plant design which replaced an older two-stage trickling filter design in the Victoria WWTP.
