Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

51. Three Approaches To Controlling Odor In Wastewater Treatment Ponds 8/24/2013

    Due to their ability to circulate a precise horizontal cross-section of water, long-distance circulators can solve odor problems in equalization ponds, anaerobic ponds, and deep-water industrial ponds.  By Joel Bleth, president and CEO, Medora Corporation

52. Water Quality Testing: Solutions From Catchment To Waste 3/22/2018

    Globally, over 80% of the wastewater generated by society flows back into the environment without being treated or reused. Clean water is an essential part of daily life, from catchment all the way through to wastewater treatment, therefore analysis throughout the whole cycle is crucial. Whether in lakes, pipes, or bottles, we can accompany you with our range of instruments, test kits and applications for your water and wastewater needs.

53. Z-88® Radium Treatment Process - City Of New Underwood, South Dakota Case Study 8/9/2012

    This radium removal pilot study was conducted for the City of New Underwood, South Dakota. New Underwood’s water system contains concentrations of radium and gross alpha in excess of the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL).

54. UV System Provides Safe, Effective Disinfection For Wastewater Treatment Plant On The Hudson River 7/23/2015

    The communities serviced by the Rensselaer County Sewer District, collectively known as the Albany Pool, have combined sewer systems (CSS) that bring stormwater, sewage and industrial wastewater directly to the wastewater treatment facility. When a storm or snow melt results in exceeded capacity, local waterways become contaminated, resulting in a significant environmental challenge, especially in a community where recreational swimming, boating and fishing are popular in warmer months.

55. Aerobic Treatment Of Wastewater For Fish Flour And Fish Oil Company Reuse 6/29/2018

    A fish flour and fish oil processing company produces 100 tons of flour a day from fish waste resulting from the broth concentration plant and from drying of flour, washing water, boiler blowdown and cooling towers. The company needed to treat its wastewater and to reduce its water supply costs.

56. 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.

57. 99-Percent-Efficient Plant Shows Food, Beverage, And Agribusiness How To Recycle Wastewater And Profit From Green Energy 9/24/2015

    An outstandingly efficient industrial wastewater treatment plant using technology being introduced to Australasia is demonstrating to the food, beverage, and agribusiness processing industries how to turn waste into profit.

58. Headworks Bar Screen Just Keeps On Running In Topeka, KS 3/2/2017

    Headworks International has installations all over the United States and in over 40 other countries.  We are always interested to learn about the community our equipment serves.  One interesting place is Topeka, Kansas.

59. EPA Creates Database To Find Thermal Treatment Processes For Remediating PFAS 6/8/2022

    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been in use since the 1940s. PFAS are found in a wide array of consumer and industrial products. Due to their widespread use and persistence in the environment, most people in the United States have been exposed to PFAS. There is evidence that continued exposure above specific levels to certain PFAS may lead to adverse health effects.

60. MBBR System Implements Nitrogen Reduction Plant Improvements 5/3/2019

    Hopewell Water Renewal (HWR) is a 50 MGD secondary wastewater treatment plant that treats the wastewater from local industries and domestic sources of the Hopewell, VA area. The plant began operating in 1977 and treats approximately 85% industrial waste. The facility achieves the treatment permit requirements for both BOD and TSS; however, treatment regulations have changed over the years and now require the removal of nutrients. HWR discharges effluent into Gravelly Run, a tributary of the James River and Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
