Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

31. TASKMASTER Aids In Biomass Research 12/10/2020

    At CRBM Marine Biology Research Center in Quebec, Canada, researchers were in search of a grinder for a project involving marine biomass. A big part of this research project was focused on finding and extracting marine molecules that could fight against major diseases such as cancer (breast, lung, prostatic and intestinal). For the research, marine materials such as hard shells, lobster pieces, stretchable fish skin and even large and resistant seaweed needed to be ground to a homogeneous size so the research elements could be effectively extracted from the material. Getting the output size right was imperative to having a workable material for the very delicate extractions and research.

32. Evaluating The Advantages Of Decentralized MBR Wastewater Treatment 1/4/2022

    Much of the progress on wastewater effluent quality under the Clean Water Act has focused on centralized facilities in larger cities. Now, decentralized systems are expanding options for municipalities, developers, and engineers to support high-quality wastewater treatment in locales that can’t sustain conventional septic systems or make it too costly to build or access centralized wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) or water reuse facilities.

33. MBBR Helps Reduce BOD Loading In Paper Plant Effluent 7/17/2012

    Inland Empire Paper Company (IEP), located in Millwood, WA specializes in the production of newsprint paper using a combination of mechanical pulp and recycled newspaper pulp. IEP produces an average of 525 tons per day of newsprint and specialty paper products in 20 to 40 pound weight paper. 

34. Maximizing Your ROI On Test Equipment 5/7/2012

    In today’s economic climate, it’s tempting to want to buy the cheapest test equipment you can now. But, how can you tell what the true cost of test equipment is? You have to consider how widely your water and chemical consumption will vary as the readings on your instrumentation does. By Heather Rekalske, Myron L Company

35. The Top Seven Ways The STRAINPRESS® Helps With Digester Debris Issues 1/15/2024

    Read about the seven ways that the HUBER Sludge Cleaner STRAINPRESS® saves money and time while establishing a safer work environment.
36. SCREENMASTER® CS Bar Screen To The Rescue At A Commercial Composting Plant 11/28/2020

    A commercial mushroom composting company in Pennsylvania needed help with a problem in their compost production process. The compost, made from hay, straw, horse manure, chicken litter, corn cobs and more, is processed on an eight-acre concrete slab, also called a wharf. The runoff from the rain and water used during the compost process washes off the wharf and into a pit and then travels through a pipe that carries it to the two-million gallon lagoon behind the wharf. From there, the company recycles the water by pumping it back to begin the process again. Unfortunately, the process wasn’t as smooth as they had hoped. Sediment and pieces of the organic material were continuously washing down into the pit and traveling to the lagoons, causing major clogs. This presented a serious issue for the company as it was slowing down their process, causing downtime, and making a mess of their lagoons. That’s when they contacted Franklin Miller for a solution.

37. 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.

38. Solving America's Wastewater Woes 11/8/2020

    Like so much of America’s infrastructure, our wastewater infrastructure is aging and inadequate. Like our highways and bridges, our wastewater infrastructure needs improvement. How do we solve this problem?

39. Riviera Utilities WWTP Upgrades To State-Of-The-Art Aerobic Granular Sludge Technology 5/24/2021

    Instead of taking the traditional approach of adding an additional oxidation ditch to increase treatment capacity, Riviera Utilities had the desire to “future-proof” the plant and prepare to meet more stringent effluent requirements.

40. Sensor Technology For Control Of Activated Sludge Aeration 7/19/2013

    Design routines and operation strategies for activated sludge aeration systems have traditionally been based on manual control. By Robert Smith, P.E., BCEE, Ph.D., YSI
