Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. Elaborate Stormwater System Saves Time And Money In Florida Project 3/27/2018

    A stormwater management system designed for a new convenience store in Sarasota, FL, required a sophisticated and elaborate approach. When it was completed earlier this year, the complex system resulted in huge money and time savings for the property owner, which will enable the store to open this fall.

  2. We'll Take It All: Sewerage, Septage, FOG, And Street Sweepings 1/15/2024

    Because the WWTP is a heavy energy consumer, the increasing cost of electrical energy helped refocus operations on improving efficiencies and what latent energy could be extracted from the waste stream. In particular, what could be extracted and put to use in the facility itself?

  3. Choosing The Right Instrumentation For Produced Water Treatment Systems 4/27/2023

    A range of devices are required to cost-effectively manage the lifecycle of produced water. Operators often face the question of which process instrumentation is the right fit given the unique requirements of their application.

  4. Padre Dam Water District Finds Flushing Solution In WinCan 6/14/2023

    Learn about a program that utilizes technology to maximize efficiencies while maintaining reliable wastewater services in East San Diego County.

  5. Real-Time Heavy Metal Monitoring For Oil & Gas 3/25/2021

    Large, distributed water networks are not well-suited for conventional water monitoring processes which rely on manual sampling and lab testing. In particular, this midstream oil and gas company had a need to detect Iron, Selenium, and other heavy metals at a precise level comparable to a lab. In addition, it wasn’t feasible to manually test the entire water system at the requisite frequency. Finally, instrument reliability and unplanned downtime were an issue.

  6. Smarter Control For Seasonal Demand: How Aquana Smart Valves Help Utilities Manage Frequent Water Shutoffs 1/5/2026

    Managing water service in high-turnover communities requires balancing operational costs with infrastructure protection. Remote control technology enables utilities to mitigate the risks of frequent shutoffs, reduce labor-intensive field visits, and detect leaks in vacant properties.

  7. How Strategic Valve Installation Prevented Service Disruption at a Senior Living Facility 5/15/2024

    Learn how Hydra-Stop’s insertion valve provided new control points to mitigate future disruptions during a service line emergency.

  8. Selecting The Right Blower For Reliability And Cost-Effective Operation 7/25/2022

    Edward Paro, Portfolio Manager Compressors & Aeration at Sulzer, offers advice on specifying blowers and how to optimize performance while minimizing costs.

  9. Using Supersaturated Dissolved Oxygen To Reduce Costs And Increase Treatment Capacity 1/10/2023

    Supersaturated dissolved oxygen (SDOX®) can cut aeration-related energy costs in half for a range of applications, including activated sludge systems, oxidation ditches, odor control in collection systems, and more.

  10. Ephrata Borough Authority Battles Chronic Sludge Settling 7/29/2019

    Ephrata Borough Authority WRRF, located in the MidAtlantic region of the United States, has been battling chronic sludge settling issues since undergoing a BNR upgrade in 2011 to meet new permit limits. During the winter months, SVI values have reached as high as 300 mL/g.
