Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. Proven Energy Savings With New Mixer Technology 6/28/2023

    Read about new mixers installed for Anglian Water that have delivered over and above estimated energy savings and had minimal disruption to the plant. 

  2. Eclipse Gear Pumps For Chemical Dosing: VanLare Wastewater Treatment Facility 8/15/2024

    Located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, the Frank E. VanLare Waste Water Treatment Facility, Monroe County, NY, has a total treatment capacity of 660 mgd and is currently running around 100 mgd. The plant uses Non-metallic Eclipse pumps to pump 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite, Chlorine, for disinfection before the final discharge of the wastewater.

  3. Improving Dissolved Air Quality With The AirWhip™ DAF Pump 7/23/2024

    Learn how incorporating the AirWhip™ pump technology into DAF systems can achieve efficient flotation, improving the quality of the dissolved air and allowing maximum adhesion to the floc particles.

  4. DAF System Effectively Removes 95% Of TSS For Railcar Bearing Manufacturer 2/3/2020

    A manufacturer of railcar bearings, wheels, and axles needed a wastewater system upgrade to treat for oil, grease, suspended solids, and dissolved metals in a mix of process water and storm water runoff. The existing wastewater treatment system in place at the facility consisted of a small equalization tank, traditional clarifier and sand filter. 

  5. Indiana Wastewater Monitoring Program: Sampling Community Sewersheds For SARS-CoV-2 1/20/2021

    A community wastewater system can provide valuable information about public health conditions in an anonymous and rapidly accessible manner. One area where this is especially powerful is infectious diseases, which are shed into wastewater systems. In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the scientific community has rapidly mobilized to determine if wastewater monitoring for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, could be detected and quantified in wastewater streams and sludge.

  6. Center Feed Drum Screen Is Mission Critical To World Class MBR Plant 4/25/2017

    North Las Vegas has installed some of the largest rotary fine screens operating in the United States. The center feed drum screens are critical to protecting the membrane bioreactor, enabling the plant to maintain extremely low turbidity coming off their plant that is better than most potable water. Read how they are putting the ROTAMAT RPPS to work.

  7. Flow Data Red Flags: When To Act 12/20/2017

    Accurate flow measurement is critical to most water and wastewater processes. Red flags may pop up to indicate meter problems, but which ones should lead you to act — and when? The answer depends on the type of meter, what it is used for, and whether the readings are local or remote.

  8. HeadCell Eliminates Chandler, AZ's Punishing Grit Problem 2/1/2021

    Rapid population growth created the need for a plant initially designed for 5 MGD to expand four times over two decades to treat 27 MGD today. With no grit removal the plant struggled with grit since start-up, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on contractors to remove accumulated grit every 2-3 years. The plant wanted to eliminate their grit problems once and for all. Tired of wasting money, time, and effort on this futile but necessary task, the plant hired Wilson Engineers to evaluate various grit removal technologies to determine which type of system would be capable of eliminating their grit problem.

  9. Materials Can Impact Product Design Life And Produce Safer Drinking Water 2/10/2023

    Buna-N has been a widely used choice for elastomeric seats used in multiple types of valves including butterfly, rubber seated ball, and resilient seated check and gate valves in North America.

  10. Custom Solutions For Reuse Applications 4/21/2020

    As supplies of fresh water become increasingly scarce, methods of recycling and reusing this vital resource are getting more attention than ever before. Orenco’s AdvanTex Treatment Systems consistently produce clear effluent that meets the most stringent permit limits.
