Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

51. The Key To Accurate Waste Gas Flow Measurement 4/20/2020

    Wastewater treatment facilities have a tremendous opportunity to utilize the biogas they generate to lower energy costs and minimize odors. However, the practice isn’t as widespread as it could be, as the precision gas flow and methane content readings required to optimize the process often clash with the misconception that biogas is messy and difficult to measure reliably. With the proper equipment, it is possible to accurately measure biogas to cut emissions and reduce or eliminate the energy bill.

52. An Environmental Impact Study On The Manufacture, Production, And Transport Of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems 4/13/2015

    A comparison of conventional and recycled thermoplastic systems

53. Black Liquor Evaporation And Chloride Removal System 3/4/2015

    The Smurfit-Stone Hopewell mill needed to replace the existing three evaporator trains that were currently in place at this facility with one very highly integrated system.

54. AMERICAN Flow Control Answers The Call 5/3/2016

    In late March 2016, an estimated 60-foot wide by 35-foot deep sinkhole developed in Tarpon Springs, Florida, leading to the evacuation of several homes. The sinkhole engulfed part of a nearby road and damaged two sewer lines and a water line.

55. The Selection & Use Of Sludge Muncher Grinders & Wastewater Munchers 11/19/2020

    Sludge grinders are inline processors that play an important role in the successful operation of wastewater treatment plants by reducing oversized solids that can causing jamming and damage to pumps and process equipment. Franklin Miller grinders are known for their heavy-duty capabilities and innovative designs with models available for a variety of application requirements.

56. Seal The Deal: Shielding Against A Mag Meter's Achilles Heel 7/1/2019

    When it comes to metering water flow — drinking water or wastewater — full-bore mag meters offer many advantages. While the underlying technology based on Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction is shared among all styles of full-bore mag meters, specific implementations have impacts on longevity and accuracy. Here is what to look for when the time to choose arrives.

57. Maintenance Is King: How To Keep Your Pipe Rehab Gear At Peak Performance 4/10/2023

    Proper maintenance can help you extend the life of your pipe rehab gear and avoid costly repairs. Explore some tips for protecting your equipment and avoid downtime from unexpected damage.

58. Pumping And Network Operations Optimized Through Collaborative Digital Twins 2/24/2026

    Collaborative digital twins streamline utility operations by integrating real-time data into a shared, intuitive environment. This approach enables precise pump optimization, efficient maintenance scheduling, and proactive network simulations to improve water quality and system resilience.

59. White Paper: Performance Of Floating Horizontal Aerators In Aerated Lagoons And Oxidation Ditches 1/17/2008
    When selecting aeration equipment to use for a specific application, issues to address include reliability, serviceability, capital cost, system appurtenances, and cost of operation and maintenance. Another important consideration is oxygen transfer rate (OTR). Horizontal floating aerators have relatively high transfer rates and have been used successfully in aerated lagoons and oxidation ditches. Using equipment with high OTR values reduces the horsepower input that is required and subsequently lowers capital cost and O&M costs. Mixing of wastewater in lagoons and oxidation ditches is also important to maintain solids in suspension
60. Xylem Engages In Award-Winning Rehab And Bypass Project With North Carolina Utility 1/30/2020

    The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) in North Carolina engaged in a capital improvement project to help address their aging infrastructure.
